Basic info on Misting and fogging...
Of course, all animals require water to survive, and it isn't as simple as placing a bowl in the bottom and calling it a day. In fact, with most chameleons this will have little, if any benefit. Most chain pet stores display their chameleons with a water bowl, and this can be misleading to the...- Decadancin

i noticed one of his eyes was shut, it was nearing his bed time, so rather than worry about it, i decided to go with what my mom (not a chameleon owner, just, mom) said, that he had gone to sleep with just the one eye. although obviously this...

hi,

Now I just add sticks and plants by inserting their ends through the mesh. You can secure the more with twist ties. It is best to pack plenty of plants in there. This way the feeder insects will disperse and all the animals can get a meal rather than the biggest one rampaging and eating...

The hinged top layer allows for easy access to the interior for cleaning and decorating. A special bottom layer keeps chameleons off the bottom. With the framework complete I can fill the cage with vegetation.
