I only learned about this deluxe model today. I haven't seen it in any of the local shops yet.
ZooMed has a deluxe model of their Reptibreeze cages. It only comes in the medium and XL size. You could turn on LED lights so that only the white lights up, only the red lights up, or both the red...
This should be highlighted somewhere in care sheets, unless it has and I missed it. Essential oils are very popular these days, at least my wife really got into a few months ago. But we rarely use the diffuser. Usually it is applied to the body/skin or added to hot lemon water (in the case of...
Sorry to hijack this thread for a second here but could you elaborate on the weak grip problem a little? I am asking because I was at the reptile shop the other day and was able to handle two chameleons. One had a strong firm grip while the other one didn't. The shopkeeper actually brought it to...
Nice set up. What did you do to make those horizontal branches stay in those positions, did you use thumb tacks at the ends through the screen? If so, does it cause any damage to the screen or is the screen very strong that it has no impact to it? Thanks.
I just came across this thread now as I am addicted to this forum now. I'm not getting much else done unfortunately and I don't even have a cham yet. lol
I used to visit many Big Al shops when I was living in Toronto and into the African cichlid and then the saltwater aquarium hobby. I would...
I forgot to ask you what you meant by LED's. You mean LED's on the cage?
Thanks for your detailed comments.
The climate here in Hong Kong is on the humid side, so I may have a problem with moisture build up at the bottom of the cage.
I like the Komodo because it is just a little bit wider but...
Maybe this might help explain what I am thinking about adding to the bottom of my cage (when I get started) as my 'drainage system'.
I could get something like this that can fit in the bottom of the cage.

And then cut out...
I guess you don't get the tiny black bugs anymore now that you removed the repticarpet? I'm just not sure if the repticarpet caused you to have the tiny black bugs or did it just give them a hiding/protective place?
Is the Repticarpet water permeable?
It's in my plans to get the Mist King. I just hope it is available here in Hong Kong with the proper voltage (220v), otherwise I will need an power converter box.
This is the reason why I wanted to try installing a shelf/floor on the bottom using a plastic grid that would held up by installing...
Oh, that's right. I saw some kind of separate pan that you can buy but ZooMed. It was called "substrate bottom tray". But I thought it's better not to put any substrate with chameleons? Would the idea that I mentioned work? Is the plastic grid with some kind of finer mesh appropriate as a...
So now I am considering the Reptibreeze XL. I like that there is a horizontal door along the bottom front that can open. Would I be able to use that to insert, say a square pan and place a grid-like plastic screen on top of it for easy drainage?
Say I put for legs on the plastic grid and then...
Thanks for that information.
I will have to check on the availability of the ceramic heating in the shops here.
And is the humidity problem mainly in the winter? We only turn on the heaters when it gets really cold in the home. In the summer between June to early August, we will often have the...
Thanks for your reply. I look forward to seeing your thread and reading/seeing pics of your new enclosure and the gradual changes in his colours.
That is such an interesting thought that I never would have considered. I tell you, you never stop learning things on here. Thanks!
My plan to picking/getting the right cham is to be able to visit the shop multiple times and observe and hopefully be able to handle the cham that I am eyeing.
I know chams should not be brought home with the intent or for the purpose of being treated like handled or petted like dogs or...
Positive thinking! That's my recipe to happy days too. ;) Just like how I know it is going to be a really big hill to climb in getting the green light on adding a cham to the family but I am thinking positive about it otherwise I would put a stop to all the time I am spending on here and...
