Alrite, being that this is my first cham and cage i got my setup going waaay before i got my lizard just to make sure i wasnt going to have any problems. Well today i finally got everyhting 100% good to go. Here is my entire setup
15x15x30 cage
18" Reptisun 5.0 bulb
40w house bulb
2 ficus with good soil
4 1/4 - 1/2 dowel "perches"
1 for basking about 6-7" off the bottom of the light
3 for climbing hiding and so on
ZooMed vine runing from plant pot to tallest dowel, which has been moved since picture has been taken to be alot moreup and down and going places rather than looping out over nothing
Feeding cup made by me (not pictured)
Digital Flukers thermo/hydro meter
Blue party cup dripper
2 tupperware collection dishes with wish mesh cover incase of an adventuring or falling cham
1 more dowel incase cham gets stuck at the bottom that runs into the bottom of the ficus
tub for collection out of ficus's and for any additional runoff through holes in bottom of the floor (not pictured, still finishing box to hold/hide it)
I also have a large cricket keeper with flukers quencher and all the calcium and multi vit i need
and a hand pump mister
I had my first operational day, minus cham, to see and make sure everything would be ok. Average basking temp was 83-85 and ranged from 82-73 in the cage. Average humidity was 50-55% shooting up to 72-77% after being misted and gradually fell back to normal after 30-45 minutes. I misted 3 times for about 90-120 seconds a time, with dripper going for an hour and a half on then about an hour and a half off.
here are some pictures
