Trying to figure out what kind of plant this is because it grows ridiculous fast and has lots of leaves. If not toxic I think epic for chameleon enclosure.
I do not yet have a chameleon, I'm waffling between a Jackson and a Panther here at 11th hour so to speak.
That looks a lot like the flower I'm trying to identify, but the one I have is more bush like, I'll take a picture of one of the bush ones here shortly so can see what I mean.
My guess...
Little bit ranty but-
Is it just me or are there only two chameleon breeder/dealers (LLLreptile and backwater reptiles) who have Jacksons chameleons?
I'm getting a little frustrated at this point, all the equipment is arriving or getting set up for the enclosure, and lo-and-behold I have two...
There are several of these growing around my house and I would really like to set it up in my chameleon enclosure, both because it's really pretty and because the branches appear to be strong enough for climbing.
But I am not 100% sure of what it is.
Gotcha, no moss lol. I was just curious about the possibility to do a heavily planted enclosure, attempt to replicate natural environment after double checking what would be safe in their new home.
Ha, no. But moss is a high humidity releasing plant.
from what I have read you're definitely right about accidentally eating substrate being a high possibility. Was just curious about if it anyone has had success with it.
Has anyone ever done a planted terrarium, almost a garden inside the enclosure?
If so did it work out ok?
I'm talking like planting grass in the bottom, a couple long stemmed leafy plants, I don't know, some beans growing up little posts or something?
Or moss... Whole bed of moss on the bottom.
I am curious though, I've seen in some videos and photos that you can set a drip to flow through the screen enclosure through the roof of it, how effective and safe is that?
I really like to err on the side of caution. Just in case for some reason the Jackson I get doesn't do well in 50's. Plus there are nights where our heater doesn't keep up with the winds.
Howdy,
New here and soon to be caretaker for a Jackson Chameleon.
I wanted to run the setup by all of you first to see if there are any recommendations about the setup before it is brought home.
So far I'm thinking:
24x24x48 ZooMed screen enclosure
ExoTerra monsoon Rainfall system
Ficus...
