Cages

[Kayrax3]

Soo I am just curious to how you all have your cages set up. so if you could share some pictures that'd be great :] I need some ideas on how I can add to and/or change up what I have. My little guys diggn it so far he has many places to hide out but i still feel like some things could be changed.

That's AWESOME!! I actually thought about making my own cage buuutt thenn I got too excited about getting a chameleon and just bought a cage haha. What live plants to you use? I justtt bought three small Pothos today I want to add a larger plant in the middle but I haven't decided what just yet.

That enclosure shows a Boston Fern (top left), pothos with 6ft + vines, schfellera (middle) and hibiscus (right). I have removed the schfellera and hibiscus and replaced them with a good sized philodendron.

it looks amazing I'm impressed :] I have a lot of fake plants in mine right now. I'm thinkking I might go with a hibiscus next because they put off really pretty flowers. hopefullyy the colors wont freak him out haha. I dont want to change too much at once because I've only had my little veiled for about 6 days so hes still getting use to things. he just randomly became pretty shy too so it kinda sucks. but I'm sure he'll warm up eventually

Thank you! He'll love the hibiscus. Veileds are notorious for eating all of the flowers! Make sure you wash it good! Make some changes and let him settle back down for a week or so...

I washed my pothos with warm soapy water is that how you cleaned yours? and I read that some people feed their veileds veggies would that be good to try with one about 2-3 months old?

Yes. Wash with dish soap, rinse, repeat a couple more times. You can try the veggies. Some members get creative and cut the pieces to "look" like an insect and wiggle it like a bug...

Go for it! Pvc stand helps so much by taking the weight off the screen cage. I used the precut 1 and 1/2 inch thick 24 inch long pvc pipes from home depot in the plumbing section. Also pick up a pvc pipe cutter. That way you have the option to cut pipes ti exact size you want.
