Hello everybody and Happy New Year! I wish you all the best, and to find the strength to do whatever it takes to fullfill your dreams
Now, I need your help and experience in order to create a new setup for a Veiled Chameleon. Unfortunately here in Greece we have very few shops with such knowledge and it is difficult to speak with someone really professional. So, to the point. I am building a custom cage for the housing. After lots of reading I came to this:
58x55x170cm vertical setup. The bottom 70cm is made up from plexi glass, and the 20cm of them are going to be filled with dirt in order to put real plants* in it. The rest 100cm will be from metal/plastic mesh in order to have adequate airflow. So, I need your help to keep it humid and warm for the Chameleon.
Conditions in the room are already measured during a whole year:
Humidity: 10-60%
Temp: 18-32°C.
Those numbers represent the absolute min/max and not the usual conditions.
I (think I) need heating lamp, UV lamp(s), temperature controller, humidity controller, a spray/mist system.
Could you please provide me with some information on what I need for this setup and if possible with links from products in order to review them later?
Do you believe I will be needing anything else?
*For the plants now, I had find a list of compatible plants, but I cannot find it again. Could you please provide me of some links to find the plants I need or can you suggest some? I am thinking of placing 2-3 on the ground, a tall one in the middle and another one like ivy to "fill the gaps".
