Did I miss anything?
Is this a good list?
- lighting, I cannot get Linear Fluro Fixtures where I am located.
- Going with fake plants for the sake of maintenance, I am more then confident that the sheer water sources I am providing will maintain the humidity required, I plan to use the hanging fake plants to create the hides for the chameleon by bunching up a few bundles that over hang certain places over the vines, so the chameleon could venture into the cluster of hanging plants to escape light etc.
- The fans are going to help with air movement because the terrarium is in a location that doesn't get much air movement itself and these fans look really good and will clip on to the top of the terrarium pointing down into it and stretch from side to side covering the 48", their only small little PC fans but with 16 of them I am sure the air flow within the terrarium will be good but not too strong.
Let me know opinions please, want to make sure I do this right for the sake of my long time dreamed of colorful critter!
Cheers
