My plants just dont live long enough

I built mine cause i was tired of the lack of options out there and i couldn't be happier

Can u just use a grow light as your heat light? I have 5.0 uvb and was interested in putting a grow light in but dont wanna overheat my poor jax

Ya i was thinking about getting it but i heard alot of good things about the monsoon and since it was cheaper i went that route to start... thanks for the advice with the grow light all they had was a 75w so i had to go with that

Ok ya i found it... u must have a mist king on my monsoon exoterra most i can mist at 1 time off my timer is 2 min... im thinking 2 min every hr should suffice its really dry and hot where i live so ill probably be changing out the basking bulb as well since its starting to get hot

Ok awesome ill look into that thanks again... any suggestions on misting times? Im still having some trouble getting it where i need it.. i didn't add the dripper but i did add a fogger that i had previously had before i switched to the monsoon... i have the mister going on for 1 min every hr...

No i dont have a grow light i wasnt too sure if i would or not.. how would i go about doing that?

Ya thats what i was thinking going up to about 2 min every other hr or maybe every hour i have 4 plants a full size ficus a pothos a Japanese araleia and a hibiscus i just added the last 2 so hopefully that'll help... i do have a reptifogger and a dripper was just thinking all that might be a...

Its that reptibark just to keep the humidity up since the cage is so big.. i have my monsoon going of every 2 hrs for 1 min but humidity is still a lil too low.... ive used the reptibark and as long as i change it out every 3 weeks it seems to not mold

And yes the bottoms a drawer that slides out rather than folding down and it holds my drainage bucket and my monsoon

Finished... what do u guys think?

Took some time but finally finished decorating my cage for my jackson chameleon... has a built in drain and runs off a rs400 monsoon. Let me know what u guys think

Haha if i had more time id definitely make more but its pretty time consuming especially doing the staining and sealing... but if i ever change my mind ill definitely let you know... thanks for the tips im gonna attempt to keep the bottom open and have everything hanging so ill post pics when im...

MplsCham that's really cool did u use foam? Ive read people using the fill a gap foam to make these as well but i would think that'd be really hard to shape..

No i actually got alot of ideas from people here just looking at what they did and took some aspects and made it to what would look best in my house and for me since my wife hated the look of the screen cage lol it was time for a change...

Hey guys so i finally finished my custom chameleon cage with a built in drain for my Jackson chameleon Teo... it came out pretty good i think better than the large screen cage hes in now and more than enough room for him to roam and grow.... but looking for some input on the cage and also some...

Ok ya ive read to shower them weekly and ive also read how stressful it can be on them so ill probably just hold off... ya ive offered him roaches which he didn't eat ive offered him worms which he ate 2 of and crickets he eats every so often... how often should i be supplementing his feeders...

Ok good to know anyway i can get a better temp drop at night without loosing humidity? He must be better today because i saw him drinking and eating crickets today so i didnt give him a shower... should i still shower him often or no?

Basking spot is about 83-86 middle of the cage is about 74 to 75 and bottom depending on the day is 70 to 72... i try to as much as possible without stressing him out. Yesterday ablut and 2 hours before lights out he found a hiding spot and i was able to mist him and he began drinking...
