well, get rid of the water dish, you should be misting to make up for the water bowl.

use plants like schefflera, ficuses benjamina, korn plant *drachanea* or something of that sort.

there is a safe plants list on the forums ...

I say put in some more live plants, like a schflerra or some ficus that way it gives more things for your cham to climb. I would also remove the mercury thermometer, just to be cautious and instead use a probe. Is this a homemade cage?

The water dish is too catch the drip which is changed daily, And he actually does drink out of the dish.. And i do mist about four times a day, and will be adding some live plants soon. Thankyou..

I have a couple of plants i will be putting in there soon, Why should i not use the mercury thermometer i have a zoomed in the top and that one is to read the bottom temp.. Built the cage myself..

The cage looks great, nice work. Mercury is highly toxic as you know and having it suspended in a cage with a moving reptile just doesn't seem safe, they are made of glass and can break easily. There are many other cheap thermometers you can find that wouldn't pose any risk to your cham. Just a suggestion.

Hi,

i think you might need a bigger cage soon, also get a probe thermometer as the mercuary ones are not always acurate

I would also be concerned about size. I would not house a female in anything smaller than 16X16X30, and the pics make that cage appear smaller. I second getting rid of the fish tank thermometer-it will not give you accurate readings in that situation-you need a $7 digital thermometer with a probe to give you an accurate reading on basking spots. Live plant, vines within good reach of the basking spot-definitely need to be added. Are the sides screen?

 

[eisentrauti]

Isn't 16x16x30 a bit too small ? That wouldn't be good for my conscience

That is minimum...

I like the looks of your cage, and love your little one. I don't know about others but all my females have 18 x18 x36 cages. Looks like you got a really good start on this thing.
