Here's my build thread for my last cage https://www.chameleonforums.com/diy-chameleon-mansion-build-102657/. It ran around $400-500 because I used solid oak and some other things that I probably could've done differently/cheaper but it came out great and was a lot of fun to build.

I have scheffleras in all three of my cages. My big cage has a 6500k plant light but the other two cages have nothing but a UVB and basking lights but they are growing like weeds and I have to keep trimming them back lol. I've also had really good luck with pothos with just a UVB and basking...

My wife and I have named all of our pets from different mythologies... We named our first cham Loki from norse mythology. He was a shape shifting trickster so we thought it would be perfect for our new ambilobe :) Our second cham was sold to us at a reptile show as a female ambilobe. Once...

Man I can never see enough pictures of Frost! He is one awesome Faly :)

Thanks for the suggestion, Stacy. The only plant I have in the cage right now is a big scheflera that fills up most of the cage and it does great with only the UVB bulb so that's all I'm looking for right now. Raphael, I already have a 36" dual bulb setup from LightYouReptiles.om with a 6500k...

90's and humid sounds ok to get her outside as long as she can get some shade if she needs it. No need to move the whole cage, you can simply set up a small plant for her to rest on or let her rest on an existing non-toxic plant. I have a couple of bushes in my front yard that I let my guys roam...

Hello and welcome to the forum! I would definitely read through Jann's blog that she posted above, it helped me out a lot when I started with chameleons. There are also some very well put together care sheets that can be accessed from the link on the home page (upper right area)...

Do you have access to silk worms or horn worms? Both are very rich in calcium and other vitamins and horn worms can help rehydrate her since they have a high water content. They're pretty much mail order only where I'm at but they are sometimes carried in pet/reptile stores... You can also try...

She definitely looks dehydrated, as Stacy said, and it's also not a good sign that she has her eyes closed during the day time. It could be a supplementation problem since multivitamins are only supposed to be used 1-2x/month. Also. this may not have to do with her current problem but if she is...

I agree with the others, you have an Ambilobe. Good looking little guy, too. Here's a pic of my Ambilobe, Loki, from around the same age as your guy in the pic with similar coloring: Here's a pic of my Nosy Be, Poseidon, at around the same age for a comparison: Here he's mostly green and...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the new T5 HO bulbs and fixtures from Zoo Med? There's a local reptile store that has the fixture with a free bulb for under $60 and since the 24" T8 Reptisun that I'm currently running on Poseidon's Reptibreeze is about due to be replaced I...

I've heard of several people using Jasmine in their cages since the flowers are edible and it will vine out around the cage. I haven't personally used it though so I'm not sure how well it would do in your cage but I'm guessing it would do well with all the plant lights you have.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm glad it's not just Poseidon lol This definitely started my day off with a smile lol :D

Your set up looks awesome! Your new addition is going to be one lucky cham :)

I almost forgot, because I had the camera in my hands when this all started I have a few pictures of the incident... Here's the free range (not shown are the two 36" tall scheflerras and four orchids) Here's Loki exploring and minding his own business And here is...

So I know that you can't keep chams in the same cage because of how territorial they can be and one will dominate the basking spot, food source, etc. What I didn't know, or even think of, is how territorial a cham could be over an area that's not their home/cage... I recently built a small free...

Alright, so we have CNorton up in Cameron Park, djfishygills in Folsom, Norcal55 in Fairoaks, DanSB somewhere in Sac, and then me a little further out in Lincon so maybe we can plan on meeting up somewhere in Folsom since that's a little more central to the people speaking up. How's about we...

You're right about that lol. Plus most of the fixtures for an 18" bulb like I was looking for were all 24" which was way too wide for my 16" x 16" x 20".

Wow that thing looks awesome so far! I would still add a big scheflerra to fill the empty space on the right and then add some more horizontal pathways but I really like how it's coming along. Great job:)

I used red oak on my first two enclosures and it worked great. It's very strong and the grain looks amazing when you stain it. The only down side is the cost... For my next DIY cage I'm trying out the whitewood from Home Depot. It's about 50-75% cheaper than the oak and it's kiln dried so you...
