Getting ready for a new Male Panther

[MrChow]

Greetings everyone,

New to the forum here and would like some advise and opinions from those who have taken care of these breeds for quite some time.

Pre-ordered a male baby panther from chameleon paradise and I’m looking to get everything aligned before delivery (4 weeks)

So far I have bought the reptibreeze XL LED for his housing.

What lights would you guys recommend for his enclosure?

Where do you guys get chameleon friendly plants and which grow light do you use?

What vines are you using?

Which mist spray is the best?

Moneys not an object here - just looking for the best for my new critter

Thank you!!

Hi there and welcome.
All of your questions can be answered in greater detail by going through each module of this husbandry program.

I use T5HO fixtures. For UVB I use a 6% arcadia bulb and for plant lighting I use 2 6400 k daylight bulbs.

I get my plants from my local nursery. Sometimes lowes or homedepot has a great variety.
Here is a link to safe plants https://chameleonacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Chameleon-Plants-122819.pdf

I do not use any fake vines only real branches.

I prefer mistking automated misting system.

Just what i was looking for!

Thank you for the care sheets and links

As for the Mistking - Is it necessary to get a 4.0 or 5.0?

I prefer to buy something more advanced now rather than dealing with a potential upgrade later.

Thank you again.

I believe the difference is just between the pump. I just got the starter system. I added more nozzles and bought the pieces I wanted so I could cleanly attach the tubing to my cage... Josh's frogs has tons of additional pieces for if you want to customize. If you use the code ReptilianGarden at checkout then you get an additional 15% off. https://www.joshsfrogs.com/misting/mistking-misting-system-parts.html
