Juli, I have herpmist and I LOVE it.
Habba mist on the other hand I hate.

Habbamist-that is what I meant! Sorry Herpmist!

 

[dodolah]

ok im also going to order a 16.5x16.5x30 or should it be a 14.5 x 14.5 x 25. im still ordering the 24x24x48 just because its a good deal for when the cham gets bigger

get the taller one.
Actually, i put all my 3 months old chameleon in 18 18 36.
then until the male reach a year old, I transfer him to 24 24 48.

uh it gets pretty cold lol, the windows leak alot of cold air into the rooms

how cold is it?
50 F is very cold.. I would shiver and turn on the central heating system (i'm californian ).

I doubt that you need the ceramic heater.
If you have too, just make sure that it is absolutely necessary before you turn it on for the whole night.
Chameleon do need 10 degree temp drop at night to induce deep sleeping.
Constant warm temp at night will mess his health soon.

well our heater is set on like 66-70 but my room gets older than others so i can turn on a heat for him for like an hr then shut it off

66 is nothing that he cannot handle. I don't think you need to worry at all.

I am assuming you gonna put him in your bedroom?

In this case, you will be the one who probably turn on the heater first.

 

[Daughty]

haah yup, and is there a place for the herba mist?? like something thats not great costly? and is the last list i posted good?? cause im going to order it if so

 

[jmdavis]

i just purchased my first cham about 3 days ago. Here is the list of things i am using on my 3 month old female veiled.

100 gallon Reptarium, the dimensions are 16.5 x 30 x 48
30 inch double hood with a 10.0 Reptisun and plant light from Lowes
Live plants I used and jasmine and ficus benjamina
For and basking lamp a 75 watt house bulb about 7inches off the top of my cage that keeps my basking at about 85 or 90
A zoo med big dripper and a spray bottle
The supplements I went with Rep-Cal products, calcium, herptivite and calcium with vitamin D3
I built my own cricket cage with a rubbermade tub and some screen

I bought almost of my supplies from herpsupplies.com, Eric is a really nice guy and threw in a big bag of free stuff such as vines, dripper, huge branch, and a book on chameleons. I know that some might say that the size cage I'm using might be to big but she gets around just fine and has no problem finding food. Most of the crickets climb right up the side of the cage to the basking lamp and as they crawl by she picks them right off the wall.

habba mist sucks.
Save your money for the real misting system like mistking, herpmist, or promist.

(just add dot com on each name to get to their respective websites).
since you only have 1 chameleon cage to mist, I really don't think you need a misting system (unless you are too busy that you cannot mist him at least twice a day 5 minutes each section).

Just buy the manual one at home depot or lowes:

 

[Daughty]

ya im just gonna buy a 3 dollar hand sprayer lol. so my list is good?

 

[dodolah]

Updated:

ok here's my list now

Zoo Med black ceramic mini clip lamp
Basking bulb -normal incandescent house bulb for heat. You can get it walmart or lowes or home depot. Experiment with wattage to achieve the temp requirement for your chameleon

Hand spray bottle

Large Ficus Trees (live)

Chances are, you gonna need more than 1 plant in your cage

24 x 24 x 48 inch Aluminum Screen Cage

38 gallon basic Reptarium its 16.5 x 16.5 x 30
If you have the money, i suggest get the 18 18 36 inch Aluminum screen cage. After you get to move him to the adult cage, you can always use this one for outdoor cage when you have time to let him bask under the real sunlight, weather permitting. Letting him bask under the real sun is very good for his health and his body development

Zoo Med 18" Repti Sun 5.0 UVB bulb

20" fluorescent hood fixture

Zoo Med Reptivite with D3- 2 oz Repcal with D3

Zoo Med Reptivite Without D3- 2oz. or MinerAll 0

Herptivite multivitamin with beta carotene

I am not familiar with reptivite product. the one that i know is reptivite multivitamin with calcium and D3, and preformed vit A

Exo Terra Jungle Vine Medium

T-Rex Large Aqua Root? what is this?

Zoo Med 100 watt ceramic heater No need

Once you get all of this.
Set it all up.
take a pic. Post it in this thread.

Here is the correction:
I also put them in category since the list are all over the place and it gets confusing.
Pay attention to the red one. since you either forgot them in your final list or have some kind of error in it.

Lighting:
Zoo Med black ceramic mini clip lamp

Incandescent house bulb for basking

Zoo Med 18" Repti Sun 5.0 UVB bulb

20" fluorescent hood fixture

Habitat:
24 x 24 x 48 inch Aluminum Screen Cage

38 gallon basic Reptarium

Pet Tech Jungle Vine Bridge (no need. Exo terra vine is essentially the same)

Exo Terra Jungle Vine Medium

2 Digital thermometers with Hygrometer built in

Plants:
Large Ficus Benjamina Tree (live)
Medium Ficus Benjamina Tree (live)
There are many different species of ficus. Be precise. You can use Ficus Alii as well

Suggestion of plants (instead of the one you have):
Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis (Live)/
Schefflera Arboricola (Live)/
Golden Pothos (Live)


I do not like the selection of bromelliad plants you have since they are in my opinion are decorative only and quite flimsy to be climbed on by your chameleon.
My plants suggestions (with the exception of golden pothos) have sturdy
branches that can support your chameleon's weight. They also have lots of foliage as hiding place that will give a sense of security for your chameleon.

Watering:
Hand spray bottle
Zoo med Bottle Dripper or You can save money by pricking the bottom of a plastic water container with a needle to let the water drip.

Supplements:
Zoo Med RepCal Without D3- 2oz (or Sticky Tongue MinerAll 0)
Zoo Med RepCal With D3 - 8oz (be aware Repcal and ReptiCal is different product)
Zoo Med Herptivite Multivitamin- 2 oz or Reptivite multi vitamin.
