Pygmy Tank Build

[Vegas Chad]

Here is a short time laps of a tank that I built for a few pygmy chameleons.

This is awesome! I'm going to set myself one up too. I hope to have it all done, and established enough to get me some pygmy chams as soon as the weather worms up next spring. Did you put in a drainage valve?

Thanks! I don't have a drain in the tank, the mist / evaporation ratio keeps the drainage layer from filling up. If necessary its easy enough to send in a little tube to pump out any excess water.

That's good to know I wasn't looking forward to drilling that expensive glass enclosure.

A tip is so use a very generous amount of moss in your terrarium which will retain lots of moisture.

I actually did a video on this...

I use screen to stop the layers from blending.

Nothing wrong with screen at all!
