Baby panther cage!! Opinions please!

[stormn1999]

This is my 3-8 month panther chameleon cage!! Of course I haven't set the lights, dripper etc up yet. But how do you like it?

And for some reason it rotated... Just tilt your head to the left haha!

I like the way you have the bottom easy to clean but your probably going to want to add a bit more foliage - they like to hide and when they are little it's good to have some places for them to go when they get too hot- or feel too exposed - I think they settle in better with a lot of cover -

Thanks!!! Yes I just ordered another fake vine to add for a little more cover!! Thanks for the reply!!

Looks good so far, maybe hang a small pothos (devils ivy) plant from the top and cover the soil with rocks.

That will give him better foliage, more to climb on, and raise the humidity.

Okay!! How do you reccomend I do that?? make a hole in the top of the screen to hang the plant?? Thanks!!

No problem!

When that plant grows, you can use it in your BIG cage too!

 

[stormn1999]

Yup!! thanks again. My cage however is quite small to hang a plant so what other plants do you reccomend I could use?

You could use a ficus benjamina (small), an umbrella plant (small), a pothos, ummm... Also here is a list of safe plants.

You could use everything in that list
