water falls

[Cozzy]

I'm picking up my first cham tommorrow and I was goin to buy a water fall is this necessary?

 

[chameleonare]

no it is not neccesary most of the time it is not recommended because they are a possible threat to your cham it is possible for him to drown in it

Also, the cham won't drink out of it. just get a misting bottle and mist the surrounding leaves with warm or hot water.

waterfalls are also little pools of bacteria.

thanks guys. Can anyone suggest a good setup inside the tank?

 

[wow]

what kind of chameleon are you getting. it is also recomended to keep cams in all or semi screen cages not full glass. ficus is a good live plant to use live plants will help to keep humidity up. u also need a uvb sorce like a repti sun 5.0. captive breed veiled/panther chameleons are recomended as a starter chameleon.

Here is my setup. http://www.onlinecenter.nu/?325625061009204336

My live in a glassterrarium (which may not be the best alternativ) but with good ventilation (one of the problems otherwise). The other problem that can occur in glasstanks i reflections in the glass which can be stressful for your cham. My solution to this problem was to use a plastic material which you use in bathrooms. You can see the result in the link.

Plants you can use you find in this link https://www.chameleonforums.com/plants/index.php . I have Ficus benjamina and Pothos.

Good luck and keep reading and ask questions!

They do like to crap in them. If you could ring up a flush system I think it would eliminate cage cleanings and keep the water fresh.
