    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    Hey all, I am sure at this point everyone has forgotten about this saga and the stories of those babies that did not make it, but I thought it was worth taking the time to post and assure everyone that V, my little baby boy I got at the end of this 86 page journey, is happy (debatable) and...

    Everyone has been doing great! V has been a very good boy. Still tries to grab my face, shedding like crazy. My youngest beardie has laid two clutches of 30 infertile eggs each. I'm really considering breeding her and raising done babies with the intent to keep one or two of them. I have a...

    The lights just arrived yesterday and it's like Vedool has his own personal sun in there. It's not the quad setup, but it's the 24" Arcadia 6% and 6500 day bulb combo hood. I love it, and V seems to love it as well. He's actively moving around the enclosure more instead of hanging out on the...

    It has enough of a lip that I have the enclosure sitting directly on top of it. I initially planned to put it inside, it may work that way, but the living wall interfered for me. So the tray has lava rocks to add weight, a drain tube out the back, and I drilled drain holes into the floor of the...

    So minor update. No new enclosure yet, but I got the new cabinet set up and ready. His current enclosure is just set on top of the new drain pan. His new setup includes a 2*2 garden tray with a bulkhead installed in the back, with a drain tube leading into the white bucket. The orange bucket is...

    Yeah he's not eating as much as I'd like right now, but he's about to try some blue bottle flies and I'm hoping he goes as crazy for them as many are claiming

    No real updates. He's been eating his BSFL, hasn't taken me up on any offers of a brownie this weekend, and still working on his shed which gained some momentum this weekend. His cabinet is about done, drain pan is assembled, and back wall is cleaned up and cut to fit in the drain pan without...

    I made V's climbing wall last night. I plan to add more pothos vines to the planters, but otherwise I'm happy with it. Need to shave off the edges, though Three cans of great stuff pond and stone, and like half a brick of ecoearth thrown on top. Four potted plants are incorporated in the wall...

    Which one is Jake? And ya, V is going to have the best Xmas ever. Entire setup overhaul. I've sunk a lot more money into this than I intended, but rather get it right now than replace later
