We got a male veiled a week ago and are complete novices to chameleon ownership so I wanted opinions on our setup and suggestions for improvement. I bought a pothos and split into 2 plants so he's got 2 pothos in there (put those glass deco things for vases on top of the dirt, may need to change to bigger stones as he grows), the rest is plastic/ silk. Bottom pothos is placed to help with water overflow. Upper plant is on a plant stand since cage is too flimsy to mount anything to (it looks unstable but it's secure). 2 vines so far, going to pick up sticks outside today to add more perches. Monsoon solo misting system set to 120sec every 8hrs but may need to lower to 60sec, he notices it come on and drinks right away and water doesn't evaporate very fast. We got the chameleon kit from reptibreeze but it feels super flimsy and we have 2 cats so when I can afford to later this month I want to get dragonstrand hybrid cage so they can't get to him. Also ordered the full throttle feeder since we don't think he can find his food (he's pooping so he's eating but unsure how much insects... but he loves eating the pothos).
Please let me know if this is ok for him... he seems to be doing ok but hubs is worried because he hides in the pothos all day and doesn't bask very often. I told him he probably does when we're not in the room.
Again we do have to upgrade to the dragonstrand hybrid because of the cats (they destroyed the mesh on our baby beardie cage to sit inside with him... I don't trust them with this cage at all). But I want to make sure he's comfortable now.
