First Panther Chameleon coming tomorrow 😎

[Wilsted34]

Overly excited for my first ever baby panther chameleon that’s coming tomorrow. I’ve been doing the research and prep since last November so the long wait is finally over with! I have a Bioactive setup that’s 4 feet tall and 30” wide and is a hybrid tank which will work extremely well where I live. All live plants of course. I’ll share some pics tonight. I have the baby bin all ready to go that Bruce from chameleon paradise advised me to do, to raise in there for the first few weeks. I’ve got my crickets gut loaded and all ready to go. Silkworms arrive next week.

Setup includes a Arcadia uvb light
Kessil a360x light for the plants which are thriving
Couple different types of isosopds that have been in there for a few months now doing work and spring tails
Automatic mister
Heat lamp

Any recommendations are welcome

While you’ll need to let your little one settle in, it is mandatory that you provide at least one pic of your new baby.

I was actually going to add that I’m going to be adding more plants such as another pothos and then some backgrounds plants on the upper part of it as well. I need to repot my current pothos and should’ve a while ago since it would be quite a lot bigger at this point. The baby won’t be added to this enclosure for another few weeks so I’ll be providing more things so it has it’s necessary cover.

Just picked up my boy. (Rex) and wow i am stunned with how colorful he is already at this size. This is my first ever cham but thought they were more dull at this age and size. When I first took him out before taking the pics, the yellow on him was unreal. This is from chameleon paradise from Bruce from Golden boy. Couldn’t be happier

is there ventilation on the bottom portion of the tank?

Nope. I run a fan that circulates the whole vivarium though

I see.. Yes stagnant air would be a big problem.
