[serenaj25]

i worked very hard to get this cage just right so i thought I would share it!! also today I held blue for 30 minutes and let her soak up some sun. she it becoming more social with me and I thought that was awesome!! also as a side note I would like to know what you guys think of using Eco earth as the floor of her cage. I don't know whether or not to use Eco earth or the little Eco carpet thing. I have both. thanks!

Good thing your cham warms up to you!

I would ad more live plants to the enclosure so your chameleon can hide better and also to help keep humidity up.

You don't realy need substrate.
I think whatever you put on the floor needs to be cleaned out frequently or it will become a breedingground for bacteria.

How do you take care of the drainage?

Hi
If you want to use substrate I would recommend top soil or things like arcadia earth mix, some real plants and add some custodians in the soil to keep it clean. For instance springtails and woodlice.

More real plants for sure and ez option for the majority seems to be single large umbrella plant. Personally I like a lush variety, plants are half of the fun for me!

I use puppy pads and newspaper on top then clean it once a week if not sooner. Then a steamer to clean my plants

Looks nice. Look into an auto mister to keep the tank humid. I got a Pro Mister and put a large Tupperware bin under to catch the drainage
