We have a 3 year old beardie and a young crestie, (plus marine tanks, dog, rabbits etc). The crestie is in a Bioactive Setup using a 45x45x60 Exo Terra. I am hoping to do a similar setup, which only when done and ready, would be home home for a panther.
As I would really prefer a bioactive setup, I am thinking of using a 90x60x90 Exo Terra, fully planted with the addition of a small fan to provide additional airflow (not blowing a gale of course) and a misting system.
Whilst I don't have unlimited budget, I'm in no way trying to do this on the cheap. If it's needed to ensure the chameleons health and wellbeing, it's not optional!
Does anyone see any problems with this sort of setup before I ask my main question?
Can I use oak and vines found in the UK as the basic structures of the setup. I have access to some great knarly oak branches as well as vines ranging from a few mm to a few cm thick, which I think are Hedera Helix.
Even if I'm wrong with the species, is there an issue in using oak and vines common to the UK to create the base shape and to cover the glass sides of the Exo Terra before planting the enclosure?
Any advice, especially from those with bioactive setups, much appreciated, thanks.
