Green House

In the future I would love to make a montane chameleon green house for Rudis chameleons and would love to see how you set up your green house and were you got it. Also what type of uvb lighting i would put in it because i know green houses scatter uvb. And how you control the heat.

Feeding

Would I cup feed my chams in a greenhouse I know a lot of people don't recommend cup feeding in a cage but idk how a chameleon in a greenhouse would be able to find small crickets or if the crickets been in there a wile and a not properly gut loaded

My first cham refused to cup feed altogether, so I hand feed them, which in the long run I think is much better since the chams think of you as a food source and not a danger, chilling them out a bit. Are you planning to freerange multiple chams in this green house?

Your attitude about providing a greenhouse for Rudis chameleons is awesome. I would research a smaller DIY or probably premade greenhouse for a species that small as with a larger greenhouse such as mine your going to lose track of where your Rudis are. I actually from about 2002-2006 used to free range one panther and it was awesome. Two techniques I used to keeping a chameleon in a greenhouse was providing a free range arrangement for the entire greenhouse with a couple cages for feeding and secure sleeping. While I did release some crickets and grasshoppers to allow my Panthers to hunt while free ranging in the greenhouse about the other half of the food that was consumed was inside a feedout/sleeping cage. Even with a large species of chameleon when left alone for a while they can disaper and had a couple of times checking the trees outside the greenhouse just in case one of my panthers somehow found his way outside.
