If your enclosure has solid sides, you could use one of these: Exo Terra Lamp Holder Bracket for Reptiles

See if you can get the cage off the floor. Chameleons like to be higher up than any other animals that might be walking around.

A lot of people use a regular house bulb as a basking bulb. They put out plenty of heat, but if it isn't warm enough when you measure, you could try a flood light with a reflector. Like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_183012-3-14997_1z0vlll+1z10ht9__?productId=50138388

You're right, removed my original rant. Just pressed a button...

I don't like the video

As I recall, it is "Hippo birdie two ewes" :D

What's the plan to keep the floor from becoming a place for nasties to grow on dead feeders, poops, etc? A lot of people, myself included, have embraced the idea of a bare clean floor approach, where the floor is nothing more than a place for a drain. This is a diagram I come back to...

After reading this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/new-garage-misting-system-pictures-130245/ I went ahead and bought one of these to experiment with: 1/4" 110/120VAC Electric Solenoid Valve with Push-In Connectors, N/C, 120-Volt on eBay Now, I've hooked it up to this needle valve...

I always just pick something French and call it good.

This thread is worthless without pictures

Seriously. What's the big secret? Are you trying to get it perfect for its close up? It is never perfect, but I'm sure it is awesome. Please post the pics!

Welcome! Wonderful place indeed. Is that different from the "Large" cage? Large Breeder Cage dimensions: 21.5″ W x 16″ D x 44.5″ H

From the picture it looks like you have the incandescent bulb inside the enclosure where your chameleon can get very close to the bulb. That seems like an opportunity for a burn.

You mean the curvey things in this picture? Those are Exo Terra Jungle Vines. You can find them at pet shops, but they run about twice as much as mail order. I'm following Bill Strand's guide on cage setup, using Dragon Ledges, although I'm not using "Great Stuff" foam. Yes, zip ties...

Yes, Gustav is one of Tylene's quads.

Thanks, I'm rather fond of him myself. He's Gustav. Thank you. More ventilation? My efforts are only a few weeks in progress, how do you keep high humidity for a montane like my new baby quad? Where are you? My mist system runs 2 minutes at 8 AM, 5 at 10 AM, 2 at noon, 1 at 3 PM, and 1 at 5...

There is drinking water and power coming from the wall. It is probably hard to sort out what is visible but the overhang is hard to miss.

No, there is overhang. That actually works out okay because the drain protrudes out of the bottom of the drain tray, in the back. The Kallax series from Ikea is linked above and is 15 3/4" deep, so I have a few inches of overhang. It isn't exactly tidy behind the scenes, I'll try to put up a...

As the air temperature drops in the evening (which is good to a point) the level of humidity will increase. If the temperature drops to "dew point", humidity is then 100% and dew starts to form. This part of a normal night time cooling cycle. Some notes I'm working from say chameleons "prefer...

The cage on the left is a ReptiBreeze "large" 18"x18"x36" and the cage on the right is a Dragon Strand Large Breeder 16"x21.5"x44.5" Twin cage setup Self filling reservoir Using a small plastic float valve I got lucky and was able to push a short length of 1/4 OD water tubing from our...
