Chameleon from

[mitja12345]

Hello,

im following your forum for a long time and i find a lot of useful information.
Now im turning to you because i dont now what i'm doing wrong?!

1 .attached is a picture 1, the terrarium, how its made. here is a question. what kind of material is the best for terrarium?, is it true that the best is if its made almost from metal grid?
I did it from USB panels. Is it right?

2. In last half year i lost 3 chameleons (2 female and 1 male) and i really dont know what am i doing wrong.
Every week they get vitamins (photo) with worms, every day get food - crickets and locust.

They have dripper, water fall, every day I misting at the morrning, humidity is between 50-60%.

Now I am thinking to build a new terrarium, but i am really confused, which material is enought good for them.

Like i said, if anybody know how to help i will be really happy and greatful.

Best regards from Slovenia

fill out the form as cait mentioned some things i can mention right away would be. wood needs to be treated against water to prevent mould and wood rot. waterfall is breeding grounds for bacteria. misting once in the morning and having a dripper may not be enough water. vitamins and calcium with d3 should be offered every 2 weeks but calcium with NO D3 should be offered almost every feeding. as well did you have any sort of lighting?

lastly all the sprays and stuff from a hairdresser id assume would be no good for a chameleon.

What kind of material do you recommend to build up terrarium? Im affraid that i lost 3 chameleon because wrong material.

The terrariums which i build are made from plywood and metal grid. The grid is on upper and lower front side of terrarium. Do you think there is not enough air circulate?

Plants are natural al plastic

I really need some advices from you because i dont want to lose more chameleons.

best regards

im using on both terariums : reptile uvb 150 exo terra- 5.0.,and heat bulb 50 wat in summer, 75 wat in winter. Under heat bulb is 32 degrese,in other area 28 degrese.
and now about vitamins:
im using these calcium and vitamins which are on photo
breder which sold me chameleons said that i need to use this two vitamins (photo),1 time per week without any more other vitamins or calcium.Is it correct?

best regards
