Need Help With Setting my Cage Up

[Brain916]

As you know, and by many posts (sorry) I am getting a Nosy Be Panther Chameleon.

I wanted to see peoples setups, pictures so I can kind of get an idea. I do not mean to copy, just I sit here and have no idea were to start. I will be sure to post my pictures when I am done.

lol, ok I was just down there about a month ago.

So on your cage up top, what do you do for the water dripping?

 

[westcoastchameleons]

For excess drippage...no water flows over...cages are cleaned usually daily..other then that, i have no draining system right now..if it gets back, i wipe off the floor...do it the old fasioned way, lol..

How exactly do you get all your wood and vines to stay up like that? I don't see any ties or tapes or anything. Its almost like they levitate! lol I'm trying to set up mine similar to how you have yours done and I'd prefer not to have to tack stuff down and use tie straps.

I use fishing line to tie up my vines and stuff.

Here is my set up. Plenty of live plants is good for keeping up the humidity.

same here, I use fishing line to hold them up.

Very nice everyone,
Would anyone else like to share?

will,
how is that substrate working out? I want to design my next cage like that. Have you had any problems with draining it or cleaning? When you get some free time could you explain more on how you set that up? Thanks.

It has drainage.

Cleaning is as simple as scooping up leaves and poop. Actually many of the cages now have grass along most of the bottom that I have seeded and grown successfully.

It has a slanted bottom with several holes for drainage. Fabric over the wholes, sand, soil, and now grass.
