getting my first Chameleon! some questions please.

[Roguehk]

I ordered the Zoo Med Laboratories REPTIBREEZE CHAMELEON KIT which comes a 31.25L x 9W x 17H screen cage. Is this enough for an adult Chemeleon? I'm ordering a Vailed adult from underground reptiles that is about 12" + long in the future. I asked if they had any that were very tame and was told they did. Any good private breeders out there? I can't seem to find any in the US when looking on google. I'm not totally sold on underground reptiles. is it a pet shop?


I want to get a misting system but my concern is what happens to the water at the bottom of the screen cage? What is the best misting system I can get? Right now I'm looking at the Exo Reptile Rainfall System Terrarium Misting RS400. I keep my home in the summer time around 72-75 I'm assuming I will have to get a 100 watt plus bulb to replace the one that came in the kit.

Do they make cage stands?


thanks everyone!!!!

That will not be big enough. Check out the care sheets on the forum for suggested caging requirements.

Also check out some of the site sponsors if you are looking to buy a cham..

I personally don't use above 75 watt light bulbs in my setup. They just get TOO HOT. I started out with the RS400 (monsoon) and it worked well for the first 3 months, then water was able to build up in the circuit board area and now I can't use it because it is not reliable any more. I hand mist the enclosure twice a day now, more often if shedding is happening. Check out the sponsors' page for this website and they'll have a list of places that can supply chameleons of different species. FL Chams, etc.
-Good luck!
