Panther chameleon room in progress!

[jamest0o0]

Figured I'd post pictures of my new room and new cage set ups. Still a work in progress, have to set up the mister. The wire shelf in the right of the picture will hold my large DS atrium for now(until I move again, I'm keeping things simple). The ficus on that stand is currently holding my oldest panther Donnie for a day or two while I get his cage set up. He spends most of the day outside under a mister, just sleeps on that treet. I've been showering them all in the meantime as well. There will be a third cage on the middle stand at the end holding a female. In total I will have 4-5 Panthers in there.

When I was taking down my old cages, I found about a thousand giant canyon isopods, if anyone is interested in some feel free to PM.

My only concern with how things are set up now is my substrate layer is pretty thin(about an inch) I might have to pack a lot more leaves on to keep it from getting mucky.

And the fungus gnat kill squad on top of my gutload/feeder mini fridge for fun.

Montane room featuring a yellow lip parsonii and quadricornis coming in a month or two max

That's a pretty cool looking plant in the corner!

Nice looking kill squad. Just like longhorn I was wondering how many gnats the butternut plant ate?

 

[jamest0o0]

Lol! @JacksJill you and you're jokes, I always enjoy them. It's probably rolled over a couple of gnats at some point though

 

[JacksJill]

Sorry i can't help myself especially on Fridays.
Glad to see you're started back to setting up amazing cham homes. I can't wait to see the paludarium project.

 

[jamest0o0]

No need to be sorry I think it's great.

Appreciate it though, last couple months have been a mess. Trying to get everything organized and start with some new species and breeding. I guess you saw my paludariums thread? That's just me brainstorming ideas for fun, I would love to see it go through one day. To just have a successful water feature or shallow spot in a Cham enclosure would be my dream. Will probably do my first paludarium with something 'simpler' though.

Looking good James, lovely carnivorous plants,
I'm looking forward to the paludarium too, they are just so wonderful! I'd love one!
Remember that limit on the chameleons!?
You are getting awfully close!

 

[jamest0o0]

@Twitchet thank you!

ahhh the limit, I need to get my own house so I can have a chameleon floor.

Have you ever done a paludarium before?

 

[Twitchet]

Hi James, no sadly, the closest was a leucomelas enclosure with mini pond and mini waterfall, was fun though,
good luck with all your many projects.

 

[Sloppysponge]

Nice set of CP. I can't wait to see end result of everything. I feel like any time you have to move, one or two things at least give greef and that is without Chameleons.

What happened with your Mistking?

 

[Sloppysponge]

Where have you bought your CP?

 

[Scottsquatch]

Help me out here. What's a CP?

 

[Scottsquatch]

Is that your Parsons? Calumma parsoni?

 

[Scottsquatch]

How goes the cham room buddy? All is well I hope.

 

[jamest0o0]

CP = carnivorous plants I believe lol

Thanks man it's going well, a little slow, but just about have the 3 finished. Gotta set up the mister, I've been just showering and hand misting atm. Also need to raise the stands up so they're about eye level. Too low right now. Have my female panther coming next week and my Parsons coming in a week or so, 2 more cages to set up lol. It's rough because the house is a mess and the GF wants to kill me for spending every day in the Cham room. I'm just worried, they've been sooo stressed these last few days from the move, but they'll come around I'm sure.

 

[Scottsquatch]

Oh for sure. Once you get them set up properly, you can just close the door and let them settle in. I'm sure with a bit of time they'll be right at home again.

 

[jamest0o0]

Yeah they're starting to eat more. Gotta figure out a way to raise it up a foot though

 

[Sloppysponge]

So where did you buy your "carnivorous plants"?

 

[jamest0o0]

Cali carnivores, they're awesome. Also got my Venus fly trap on Amazon which came in great shape
