Hi!
So I just started using this site very recently. I went through my current husbandry and using the advice given to me I am making some changes to my chameleon set-ups!
I am really excited to see these enclosures once I finish them and I'm hoping my chams will like them too haha.
This is intended as a sort of blog- I can't seem to make one IN the blog sections- so I plan on updating it every so often.
Right now I have a female, 4 month old Ambilobe. She is quite spicy and as of now still hasn't taken any food from my hand. I purchased her at discount from Roberson Reptiles. She was a discount baby because she slipped out of one of the enclosures and her lineage is unknown! I'm quite excited to see what morphs she has in her genes since I plan on breeding her when she's over a year old.
I am in the process of getting a male, 3 month old Ambilobe from a member of this site. He is the grandbaby of Bolt the chameleon. His setup is being custom made by a local wood-worker in my town so I am very excited about his eventual set-up.
As of now my female is going to be moved to her permanent home- a 2x2x4 Reptibreeze. I am setting it up with a Schefflera in the center and some Pothos hanging from the side. I will be adding more plants to increase the foliage cover so she can hide to her heart's content. I got some branches from the trees in my backyard and cleaned those a few days ago. They'll be perfect for the setup once I install the dragon strand ledges I have.
I plan on adding the male into the female's old 16x16x30 Reptibreeze until his 2x2x4 custom home is finished. I'm still working on how to disinfect it properly before I add him into it- Any suggestions are very welcome.
The lighting I plan on using are 14" T5ho fixtures- I may need to invest in bigger ones for the 2x2s. I've got two deep-dome basking lights+ 75watt bulbs for the heat aspect.
Thanks!!- Also if I'm doing things incorrectly PLEASE let me know!! I want to make sure their homes are made correctly for them.
