With this budget, what setup would you get

[celeste_knitter]

Love the look of the table! I'm currently in an apartment so cutting into waterline isn't possible at this moment.

What size cage would you guys get for a male panther if you only get 1 cage. Baby would be around 4 months old ideally.

You can go straight to an adult cage, 24x24x48”

That's what I was hoping. Thanks for confirming!

@Brodybreaux25 yeah I mean that and your awesome stands. I knew you could help there.

I agree with one of his stands and a dragon strand cage setup it will be awesome.

I'm definitely thinking this is the way to go. You guys are awesome!!!

Yeah this community is great and full of great advice but be warned this may just be the start of an addiction.

I wanted a chameleon for a long time. When I got mine I knew it was love but then the bug bit and I'm setting up for number 2.

Just saying plan ahead in case you need to place a second cage somewhere....

Great to see you planning before the Cham.

Honestly at that budget go with:

a custom cage or dragon strand. With a stand and built in drainage. @Brodybreaux25?
Mistking
Linear light fixture with Arcadia 6% bulb
Lots of real plants

For breeders:
@Matt Vanilla Gorilla
@Chameleon Mike
Kamerflage
For sale tab on this forum.

Thanks for mentioning me. I feel honored to be thought of along side with awesome breeders as @Matt Vanilla Gorilla and Kamerflage.
Looks like you have a great plan for the set up and an awesome budget to work with. You've done your research. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product. I think whoever you get the chameleon from its going to be well taken care of and very lucky to have you.

Good luck with your set up and picking out a beautiful chameleon.

Yes, I've been drooling over him...gotta wait for the budget money to come in & everything set up. I know the perfect one will be ready or getting ready when I am ready. No rushing this!!

Man the colors on that guy are awesome!

I hear you, I’ve been searching for my next cham for 4 months. I started with the Natal Midlands Dwarf Chameleons, then jumped to Ambanja, and finally settled on one of these little guys yesterday. My first venture outside of veilds.

hhaha @Brodybreaux25 wants you to get this going right away or make people consider more....

Ha! You said it was an addiction right? Junkies need company!

 

[celeste_knitter]

Well how do you think we ended up with 2 crested geckos! Lol.

Let me get this one set up right, get out of grad school & maybe I will think of a 2nd one. I will already have the mister & feeders!

Those are pretty blue Nosy Be's

I'm pretty set on getting a Dragon Stand cage...clear side because of the mist containment factor.

Do I get the atrium or the regular large?

Depends on how big of an enclosure you want, and how big the space allocated is.

Junkies stick together. Haha. I wonder if they have chameleons anonymous...you know just in case

I want what is best. I can make space. Who needs a dining room table?

Oh there should be. Though I don't think I'd ever get past Step 1.
