Cage Cleaning • Sanitation ISTYT (Part 4) DisinfectionI would say no. I would steam it or use hair bleaching 12% peroxide on a used cage of uncertain origin.

Egg Laying and the Laying Bin
I free range my chameleons so I really have to pay close attention to when it’s time to lay eggs. I think one of the most important things is to have a gram scale and weigh her once a week. If she's gaining and you are still feeding the same amount of food then I figure she must have eggs. You...- jannb

Polly has become well adjusted to her new home and since I have moved her near a window she seems to have become way more active.
Polly seems to be doing well and happy, I have not seen her eat but that's not to say she isn't. She just finished her first shed for me and she did great. She is active, meaning she walks around and occupies every part of her enclosure and seems to love sleeping towards the bottom at night...

Have you ever wanted to have that hanging plant up high in your chameleon enclosure? With the traditional screen cages we have had to exercise creativity to just put in a horizontal branch, much less hang a nice leafy pothos where it can trail down the side of the cage! I'd like to propose...

think Im ready for an animal, all temps and lighting are good, foliage is good, perchs and climbing ledges are in, I may add more vines later.
[/URL][/IMG]
I have my foliage in but will add more later (maybe), Drainage holes are in the bottom and the drip system is in and set. Ive decided to try the drip system mounted on the outside of the enclosure and It seems to be working fine there so far.
Im starting my lighting and temp testing today, I am thankful that I don't throw anything away so I have tons and tons of supplies from old Frog or Snake enclosures, Im running a 40W household bulb which is clearly inadequate as you see the basking temp is low, Ill boost up to a stronger bulb.
This is my first Chameleon, Im not new to Reptiles so I do have a basic knowledge and I like to have my research and enclosure 100% set and RIGHT before I bring my animal home.
Heres the enclosure that I decided to start with, I got a great deal on it and its demensions are 36" L X 24" W X 63" H
