Thanks bud. It’s amazing how obsession can really spur on creation/construction.

...that and having no social life?

Looks so good!

Dang! You even have a TV out there! Can I come live in your greenhouse?

I’m in southwest Ontario, Canada. They stay in the greenhouse 6-7 months a year, and outside 5-6 months a year.

This year, everyone went outside in early May, and came in at the end of September.

Impressive setup. Please another question, what is the "turbo" looking fan for?

It actually runs a trunk line from which small 1/2 diameter hoses run to each of the 20 neonate cages, so there is gentle airflow through each baby cage. This is crucial, since the neonate cages have three solid sides and can heat up easily on sunny days.

Wow, mind is blown at the awesomeness of this setup. Now last question, is this setup for the Chams for your personal enjoyment?

That depends on what you mean. I certainly do derive a lot of enjoyment from my chams, but I am working on a breeding project. My wife and I are trying to help establish Kenyan xanths in captivity in Canada, and we’re going to try our hands at Parsons.

Looks amazing Kaizen! Is this the GH with the large pond? I have a 10x20 in my yard waiting for assembly. I have a lot of work to do before the chameleons can play in it unsupervised.

What's your large aluminum hvac vent at the top? Also, I can't tell if its just a lot of connections, or did you rig up something fancy smancy with your mistkings?

I'm going to PM you (again), if that's alright. I'm in Maryland, quite a bit south from you... I'd love to chat about your heating and cooling design.

 

[Mrjamwin]

Cool. That actually answers my question. Thank you!

Long time no talk Snitz! Yes, this is the greenhouse that formerly housed the koi. But alas, my wife and I decided to sell our koi and use the entire greenhouse for chams.
