Yea, I was thinking for structural rigidity, so it doesn't crumble if it got knocked over. Or if something in the cage got knocked over it didn't fall apart with my cham inside.

Awesome, thanks! Where did you get your poultry fencing from? Considering using this stuff. The seller claims the holes are only 2/5", which I don't agree with. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071VLQMSB/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A2F5ZTYO1060UD&psc=1 If that doesn't work, may go with...

I'm working on building an outdoor cage out of PVC pipe and poultry fencing. For those who have built one before, do you have to cement the joints, or am I ok just connecting all of the parts? I'd like to be able to break it down so I can move it inside during the winter. Maybe cement the front...

Cool, maybe I will give them a try. Where do you get them?

I have not, define much quieter? I currently keep my chameleon in my bedroom, I think any noise is pretty much too much noise.

Yeah, I feel partially cruel pulling the wings, but I cannot deal with the sound, it drives me insane. I may start clipping instead of pulling, maybe it's more humane?

I've hatched my own eggs before, here's my experience: 1. When you buy eggs you normally get 250+. Since these have already been chilled, they do not have a long shelf life when they get to you so you pretty much need to hatch them all when you get them. The first time I bought eggs I thought...

When I buy adult crickets I pull the noise making wings off of all of them as they go into my cricket keeper, you can try doing the same. Can you seal up your enclosure so they can't get out?

Awesome! Good choice going with a male panther for your first. Welcome to the addiction.

That's awesome, congrats. What are you getting and from where? I'm itching to get another one to be honest.

That's cool, yeah it's hard to get a full perspective from a picture. When is your cham coming in, or do you have it?

Yeah, its just what I think my cham likes, your cham may prefer the denseness. See how it plays out and adjust if needed.

I think the density looks pretty good, maybe a little too much though, in my personal opinion. My umbrella tree was a bit dense and I found my panther would avoid the dense areas entirely since he couldn't easily walk through the leaves/vines. Once I pruned the branches a bit he would roam those...

Chameleons are easily stressed animals. Transitioning to a new home, especially if he was shipped to you, is a pretty traumatic experience. I would try to leave him alone as much as possible for 2 weeks or so to allow him to settle in and not provide further stress. He will definitely start...

I put this on the sides of my repti breeze and it really helped with ambient temps and humidity. If the sides aren't enough, you can also do the back, but I'd start with the sides and then make a decision on the back...

Cool, then yeah I'd go with a custom setup. I'd personally go with 36"-48" wide, 24" deep, 36"-48" high. I think 24" wide is 'enough', but chameleons seem to use much more horizontal than vertical space ---I am thinking of replacing my repti-breeze with the exo-terra tall XL to provide the...

I'd go with a repti-breeze 24"x24"x48". If ambient temps and/or humidity is a concern, put some film on the sides (linked below). I did this with mine and it helped a lot. Building your own is a great idea if you can pull it off, and may make it easier for hanging plants/vines. I am currently...

I use this stuff and random fruits and veggies. https://www.amazon.com/BadAssBugs1-com-Dubia-Roach-Chow-Berry/dp/B07CX4KG5M/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=badass+bugs&qid=1587317464&sr=8-2

The idea is to feed the insects preceding the time in which they are consumed by your chameleon. This allows for the nutrition to be in the stomach of the insect when the chameleon consumes them. Here's the approaches you can take: 1. Always provide the gutload to your insects to keep them...

I wouldn't be surprised if his body temp was where it should be and he had enough UVB exposure for the day that he would hide behind/under some leaves. My cham spends plenty of time during the day under leaves to protect himself from UVB and basking heat exposure. Throughout the day he will...
