Excited :)

[Kath44]

Not sure many understand my excitement. I ordered George's adult enclosure last night and have had email saying it's been dispatched
I ordered reptibreeze xl size from amazon. I chose free delivery 3-5 working days. I could of paid for Friday delivery but didn't and glad I didn't! Email says I should get it tomorrow(Friday!).
I know you guys understand my giddiness can't wait to get things set up in it.

Awesome, I ordered mine through Amazon as well. Setting up the cage is half the fun with chameleons!

 

[Gibboltd]

Congratz! Haha. I'm going to order an XL soon too. Share some pics when it's all set up plz

 

[Kath44]

Well, I received my reptibreeze today and have put it together.
Got a ficus, an umbrella plant and a pothos on moss pole.
Still work in progress. Have to add vines and dowel type stuff into it.

The new enclosure is coming along nicely. Love the pics of Perkins!

Moss pole is a good idea! Stealing it!! lol Love the new cage!

 

[Kath44]

Update so far. Dowels added. Need some foliage at top still until umbrella and ficus plant grow some more.

You can hang a pothos at the top of the cage to add some cover at the top. Great job!

 

[Kath44]

Thanks. I've now got it on a table, near 2 ft high. As I'm only 5' 1" and a bit ( that bit is important,lol). I struggled getting the big dripper up on top :/
Going to have to invest in a stool of some kind
George better like it,lol.
Hoping to get him in there this weekend.

You should be excited, you know how hard it is to find something to make out brats happy? I think you will have a very happy boy. It looks wonderful.

Well, George is in his new adult home. Think he was bit overwhelmed and was quite dark for a while. He hasn't eaten today either. Has drunk though and found his basking spot.

Lightened up after a while.

Nipped out and came back and couldn't find him :/ he's found his sleeping spot. Just before lights out.

Hopefully he will eat tomorrow.

Looks awesome do you have a mister and drainage as i want to start collecting bits for my big enclosure but not to sure about setting up the drainage
My guys only 5weeks old and only had it a week but can't wait to setup the main cage

 

[Kath44]

At the moment I don't have an auto mister. I have a big dripper and hand spray.
I've just got paper towels/ kitchen roll at the bottom. Once I've got a mister I will make drainage hole at bottom of cage, aswell as table it is on as there is a shelf underneath table I can put a drainage tray in. Probably use some kind of sink/bath/shower drainage tube to go through the hole.
Kath.

The table I got from ikea £25. Slightly bigger than 2x2x4 reptibreeze.

Sleeping in his new spot in new enclosure.

hi kath how are you finding the humidity with the reptibreeze i have herd it is hard to keep it up in the uk and that its better to use a wooden viv over here would love to know how you are getting on with it as i was looking to get one

 

[Kath44]

At the moment, I'm having no problems with it. I thought I might, but so far so good.
He has 3 live plants a dripper and I hand mist. I don't have central heating, so that isn't drying the air out like it might in some homes.
I have a wood burning stove, so I have to watch his night time temps don't drop too much.
So far they haven't, but I have a electric room heater to use if needed.

I absolutely loved and stole the moss pole idea - it is working out great. I am ordering a second shorter moss pole to grow a corner pothos plant - love your set up - used many of your suggestions!
