yes I could cover 3 sides with plastic to help with humidity. I prefer covering two sides with plants and a wall on the third as it allows for some air circulation through the top and bottom. However that is what led to the small puddle that would not evaporate. Which is also the same place...

For the record ... What similarities can you find between how my system operates and your suggestions you made on another forum? Evidence that I am not the first person you flamed. Ataraxia is knowledgable and you discounted him for calling you a money pincher. What is your reason for...

Yes, the cesspool corner that was noticed and cleaned within 12 hours killed an otherwise healthy cham. What about the cesspool would have killed one cham and not the other? If you have such excellent advice being the quality keeper that you are then tell me what your advice was exactly? To read...

AC vent and Lighting There is one AC vent in my room pointed to where the chameleon enclosure is. The vent lid routes the air in opposite directions and at a slight angle. I put the enclosure just far enough away that the majority of the air flow is hitting the bottom left side of the cage...

Water consumption and attempting to replicate the weather, temperature and humidity of the misty mountain forests of kenya are not the same in any way. The bulbs are a 26 watt exoterra cfl 5.0 uvb(tropical spectrum) and a zoo med mini linear cfl 5.0uvb (tropical spectrum) that are both effective...

All of the plants are root bound with organic soil trapped in there somewhere,h 2 inches of rocks at the bottom and 2 inches at the top. They all drain very well and dry out completely after a few days of not watering when outside the enclosure near the window. I have reduced the schedule to...

What would you recommend? I have cut the cycles down in half which has brought the humidity to 30% in the wettest cold zone and changed the basking zone to 20%-

I am using an AC vent aimed at the bottom left hand side of the cage that both cools and ventilates the enclosure. I am also using two computer fans set up at the right hand side of the opening near the drain ramp/ waste water bucket... Nearly the entire cage is able to dry and stay dry for...

Pictures Here are a couple pictures of the changes I made

The misters that were available at the hardware are pumping roughly 5 gallons in a 72 hour period @ 4x 15min cycles throughout the day. A cool mist humidifier is converting roughly 1 gallon of water into mist every 24hours which most of which condensates onto the screen top. Then drips onto the...

Billy Joe and Bobby Sue Here are the babies living together in that enclosure.

about $250 I am about to make a detailed walk through of the materials used, where to get them and how I assembled them. I had a few ideas that I have not seen much discussion about that saved me quite a lot time and money. I still have some rough edges and loose ends that need finishing...

I posted a few days ago about a small spot on on Sarah's nose, a female jacksonii, that was pale pink in color. Yesterday when I came home I noticed that it had ruptured and was bleeding. I didn't take her to the vet as it had clotted and seemed to be healing quickly. After an hour of research I...

I have been awake all night trying to figure out what is going on with my darling Sarah. She has been abnormally active this past week and been a bit clumsy. Meaning I have seen and heard her fall from the branches (approx 18"-28") onto the bottom of her cage. I noticed a small bump on her upper...
