Long Overdue Greenhouse Pictures!!

[Motherlode Chameleon]

I was busy photographing the greenhouse today for some long overdue greenhouse pictures. I got a couple great greenhouse plant pictures and past chameleon pictures.

These are some of my juvenile African Baobob Tree's.

What in the greenhouse?

Whoa... It's a chameleon palace! Well done, Jeremy, that's gorgeous!

What in the greenhouse?

Not much right now. I had some bacteria problems that killed some of my prized chameleons. Coccidia come to mind, however Coccidia is a parasite and I recall a bacteria was the problem. I have to review my notes. After that I have had the policy of not keeping delicate chameleon species until I solve the problem even though the greenhouse is bioactive. I am only keeping Furcifer pardalis and Trioceros jacksonii ssp. since they are hardy species and plants lots of plants.

Whoa... It's a chameleon palace! Well done, Jeremy, that's gorgeous!

Thanks much.

I meant what being grown in the greenhouse? Haha

Just plants right now. I have got a my male BB Ambilobe Furcifer pardalis "Enigma" in my reptile/aquarium room. I have been considering giving him some greenhouse time. I am progressing/working towards adding more hardy chameleons species though.

I have got a couple oversized enclosures in the greenhouse and I want to add a Furcifer oustaleti or Furcifer verrucosus pair. However the greenhouse is a montane greenhouse a think two desert species would not be that great of a fit in this montane greenhouse. That means I am staying with Furcifer pardalis for now.

I think a Furcifer bifidus pair would go well with my montane greenhouse.

How about one more old photo of a male Trioceros deremensis I kept in my montane greenhouse named "Charles".

Thanks! Trioceros deremensis are great.

Sorry to disappoint "Charles" is one of my past Trioceros deremensis. I am still working out bacteria issues in my bioactive greenhouse.

This male BB Ambilobe Furcifer pardalis named "Enigma" is the only chameleon that I have got inside my Reptile/Aquarium Room and greenhouse right now.

Absolutely stunning!! Would love to do this but would be too worried about something failing when i wasn't home. Dead of winter or heat of the summer and not being able to rush home in time. If I may ask, what do you do as far as fans,heat, etc? Would love to know more!!

I have had this greenhouse for ~20 years now and never had problems with a chameleon falling or getting injured. I think chameleons are designed to take a fall well. As far as heating and cooling, I have got the greenhouse on a thermostat that has a swamp cooler and propane heater.

Nice shots, Jeremy. A greenhouse would be a great experience one day. In the dry and extreme temp changes of Idaho, it ain’t in the cards!!

Any idea where the bacteria came from?

Thanks about the greenhouse.

I have not got many ideas where the bacteria came from however I am progressing with hardier species. The greenhouse is bioactive however exposed to the outside elements somewhat. That meaning the bacteria could have come from multiple places/sources. Once I have had some positive results I may go with a Trioceros or Calumma species again.
