What about getting the Deagin strand enclosure, and making do with a dog crate tray until July or August, when the dragon stand drainage systems should be available?
Depending on your area, standard dimensional framing lumber is typically spruce or pine. If the lumber is indoor lumber it will need to be protected with a sealer/stain/wax etc. There are many safe options. Look for non-toxic LOW VOC products. If it’s exterior lumber , it will be pressure...

In all seriousness, I thought I’d share some pics/ideas for all the outdoor keepers. Outdoor chameleon enclosures don’t just have to be cages; they can become part of the landscape. Large enclosures, heavily planted, can be used to section off private sitting...
I’ll just add a couple thoughts here. Before making any drastic changes to your supps—especially if you’re considering a strong vit A product—try a more moderate regime that incorporates low but consistent levels of the fat soluble vitamins such as A and D. And Work at really dialing in your...

B, I still think it’s a light issue. Hibiscus leaves should be more rigid. Leaves get big and floppy when they etiolate due to insufficient light. I know it sucks, because you have a small city’s worth of wattage over it. Years ago, I managed to get one blooming indoors in a basement. But it was...
