my redone inclosure after some help everyone on these forums

[writh]

This is my new enclosure after some advice from some of you guys here. I was new at this just a lil over a week ago and changed everything for my chameleon (Pickle) so went from glass enclosure to a real open Screened cage
30"L x 18"W x 36"H from coiled UVB bulb to a florescent reptisun 5.0 fake plants to real plants ficus and pothos, even got an automatic mister system pro-mister50D from pro-products on a time to go off every 3 hours a day for 1 minute and a lil-dripper which I turn on for 15 minutes every day. and a 60 watt bulb which creates a basking spot of up to 92F measured with a digital thermometer. here are some pics .

Looks good mate, well done!


The only thing you need to change is your basking bulb wattage, 92 is on the hot side for a Veiled that age.

She looks to be about 3-4 months old. I would aim for about 83-85 degrees in the basking spot.


Switch the 60 watt out for a 40 watt, and check to see where your at.

I will do that and also am working on getting another ficus tree for the left side so it doesn't look so empty

There should be much more branches and plants. He couldn't use the space which he has

I agree. IMO the more cover you can offer (vines, plants, etc.) the better it will be for your cham.

Pretty close to perfect now. Seems like you nailed it.

Maybe a few more lateral branches, but even then, you got a good amount.
It helps if you use branches of different diameters so her feet get good exercise. You can find a ton outside or on a tree.

Just cut them to size, the thumbtack, like so:

Awesome job so far, you are doing great.
