I second @jamest0o0. Sundew, venus flytrap, and pitcher plants are all great solutions (outside the enclosure). I just ordered, so I can't recommend them yet - but here's a site that specializes in carnivorous plants. They've got a huge selection. https://www.petflytrap.com/

Curious - why outside the enclosure? My pitcher plant is thriving inside my enclosure and catches most of my enclosure's fungus gnats. The sundews sitting in my window sill aren't catching anything. I'm guessing sundew and venus fly traps might have different care needs that don't mesh well...

I got this spotlight which is treating my bromeliads, airplants, and pitcher plants well. I've seen folks here recommend the Sansi bar lights. Arcadia jungle dawn lights look phenom, too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C7L31K8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_LOdPFbFWG8F3X?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Some important plant updates. The small pitcher opened and an air plant is blooming. Yoda moves in tomorrow, 3 days after his pinworm treatment and his cage scrub down. ?

You can use tap water depending on water quality. If you can't find your specific water quality info online, you can always get a TDS meter that will measure ppm in your water. I recognize that I'm pretty fortunate to have clean water straight from the tap with no filter, so tap water may not...

...a while back). I have an umbrella plant that's shorter than the other 2 centerpiece plants around it, so I put it's pot up on another of the same size pot turned upside down. Works great and doesn't look horrible (IMO). I have another (pitcher plant) that hangs on one of the horizontal...

Interesting with your veiled but I don't think my lazy lunk would bother with a gnat :) I have no idea of their toxicity but I did not want to suggest them with veiled because if they eat them, it could be bad for the veiled-and definitely would be bad for the butterwort! Be careful you will...

...Got a nice appropriately-sized mass cane, even though there's already one of those in the enclosure. Missus thinned out the Nepenthes (pitcher plant) that was hanging in there. It grew tremendously in the 4 months it was in there, so now we have two—one inside and one out. Also have to...

Lol our posts crossed! OP, I have the following plants: - ficus microcarpa - umbrella - birds nest fern - bromeliads - airplants - pitcher plant I've also had success in the past with: - jade -spider plant Unfortunately I can't fit all my plants in one enclosure lol.

@jamest0o0

Not 100% opposed to having stuff on flower but had a particular aesthetic in mind I'm shooting for. If putting something in floor makes cage more functional/ better environment for the cham I will certainly do so. basically my plan is to kind of have two main "centerpiece" trees and then to...

Hehe very cool! And thanks! Went ahead and just got done washing some new branches, letting them dry and then I'm gonna figure out best places for them. Here in a bit going to grab a bromeliad from lowes also! Thanks all for the suggestions ?

What IS that, a waterfall made with the foam? Now you are giving me ideas! Love the backgrounds, too. The cage has grown in a bit since I took that photo, look at the 2 nice pitchers in the center. My chams don't leave anything for the plants to eat LOL-but if I have feeders die in their...

For sure, they're a little hobby of mine. Just make sure the purified water doesn't have any minerals in it. So RO, RO/DI, distilled, or rainwater. Sometimes the pitchers will die and new ones will sprout

I’m by no means well versed in plants, but I think all carnivorous plants need a nutrient poor soil and like to sit in distilled water. I have a soil gnat problem so have bought lots of carnivorous plants and keep them outside of my cham enclosures. I also think you’ll need some sort of plant...

...worms and baby brine shrimp (used the shrimp for baby seahorses too) Few carnivorous plants- Sundew, Venus flytraps, (the Australian pitcher plant, just cant remember name) and 3 different types of pitcher plants. If anyone wants a few pics, I would be glad to look for some. Most were taken...

Turning a pot upside down is a great idea. Thank you for the feedback and warnings.

I hope mine springs back! One of its pitchers shriveled. I'm watering it a bit more (purified water only) and put it directly under the light. I got one to help with fungus gnats. Plus carnivorous plants are the coolest!

I ‘stole’ @snitz427 tips for breeding silkworms, so the credit goes to her ingenuity.

...sundews on the ground in my enclosure cause they'd probably eat my lovely isopods. Yoda is already a picking them off. ?‍♀️ The recent pitcher plant Chameleon Academy episode was pretty informative, for anyone who's interested...
