[flapjack]

thanks it tuff being a newb on sites.

 

[Jamelon]

sweet cage! mine sucks compared to yours haha, but im going to be remodelling it soon I think it could use some horizontal vines, just like 1 thing of jungle vine would do i think

 

[flapjack]

now all we need is the chameleon. just need to find a good place to get one.

 

[flapjack]

yeah im going to get some vines in the next couple of days. waiting for pay checks. we went christmas shopping and toysrus got the best of us.

where are you looking to get one/what kind of cham are you looking at? guessing by the cage it's a veiled or a panther

 

[flapjack]

panther. we think they have the best color. price doesnt matter, as long as its healthy and happy and of course it looks good. haha

 

[coffeeguy89]

i recommend screameleons. i got an ambanja from them in june and he's doing great, a strong eater and very active. they also have great customer care.

 

[flapjack]

yeah. they seem from there pics on there site to have the best color turn out.

 

[coffeeguy89]

yeah they have some awesome projects going, but honestly any reputable breeder will likely give you a great cham. just make sure they provide a pic of the sire and dam.

I think you are going to have water issues. As much as you need to water it is not all going to go into the plant.

 

[flapjack]

explain the water issue. for the cham or the plants

 

[flapjack]

we have an aqua globe hiding in there. we mist manualy and there is a habba mister on there. humidity is saying at 50%, also we water the plants manualy. there is also a drain plummed in the bottom for drain off.

 

[Julirs]

I was thinking for your floor! Looks like you have carpet.

 

[coffeeguy89]

also i noticed something about the drainage setup in your cage. what are you using as your potting media? if your just using potting soil your plants may suffer from being over watered. i don't mean to be a nay sayer, i just have a simmular set up as you and i ran into that problem. my solution was mixing half potting soil and half hydroponic orchid potting pellets. this made the pot drain out much easier, while still holding enough water for the plants
