Maybe too much??

[HollySaurusRex]

So I just got my new setup for my new high blue jackson chameleon.. and I was just wondering.. is the setup looking ok? Tomorrow I am going to buy a pothos and put it in a hanging basket in the far right corner in the back.. so then the cage will be really full.. is there any such thing as TOO much in a chameleons cage? hopefully not.. I'm trying to spoil him as much as possible<3 here are some pictures..


Thanks so much!


Holly

Nice looking but it could use a nice sized umbrella or ficus in there

Let me answer your question with a picture. Or 2...

Here is the top of mine. Not even done yet.

And with my 2 trees.

Oh wow! Ok so where would I get a ficus? Walmart Garden? thanks for the advice!

That doesn't look full at all to me. I would add a lot more. JMO

Hehe. Ficus can be found at Walmart, but i got mine at Lowes.
Go to lowes, home depot, walmart any of those really.. Ficus are awesome, but i just found a tree that is really good and my panther loves it, its called "schefflera" or something like that, Gold Capellas work nice, Pothos (otherwise known as Devils ivy) there are a lot of safe plants you can use, i just listed the ones i have found in Home Depot, Lowes, Etc. I got my plants for 20 bucks each! They are pretty big too, id say 4' 6" to 5' its nice.

Keep your eye out. I know walmart carries some nice plants.

Happy hunting

Also, i might recommend getting a Schefflera, because it seems to make more humidity (didnt know how to really word that any better) than a ficus does. IMO, Schefflera may be better because Jacksons thrive in higher humidity!

Ok I will be going out today to look for these plants =] ill post a picture afterwards to show how the cage looks after..

ywah goto walmart and look for their umbrella plants. Thats all i have in my enclosures plus a pothos. The umbrella is going to hold up alot better than the ficus imo. And they are cheap enuff got 2.5 ft ones from there for under 10.00

Thanks so much! I will definitely go to walmart!

That IS a schefflera in the bottom picture. It is also called an umbrella plant. That's what I put in Rambo's home. It is very sturdy and very green. It seems to grow slowly and so far has been tolerant of a variety of conditions I've had it in.

Pothos are very good for humidity and very green when they're healthy. Plan on changing it out every couple of months or so. Keep one hanging in a window and one in his home. Then swap them when you think it starts looking puny or needing repotting. Very easy to propagate. Just break off a piece at a leaf joint, stick it down in the soil and water.
