Thanks Steve......you're right, he does look a lot like yours! Maybe they are brothers?
I need to get a pic of him when he's really bright, those pics are more of his "relaxed" photos. Trouble is, to get his vibrant colors, I have to get him mad (or scared), so maybe not.
Just an update......Atticus is doing great, has shed a few times, color is really vibrant!!! He's eating well and doing good. I installed a couple of Google Nest cams on the outside of the enclosure to keep an eye on him. Set up an EcoTech Versa VX-1 pump for a drip system, works great.
For...
I use an EcoTech Versa VX-1 pump to pump water about 6' from the bottom of my enclosure to the top.....works great but it's expensive.....
I have a Little Dipper drip system that I don't use.....practically new, that I will send to you if you want it......free
Grow LED: 7am – 9pm
UVB: 8am – 8pm
Basking: 9am – 2pm
He may have so many hiding places that he doesn't feel compelled to come out? I would think he would come up to bask first thing though.....I'll put in a few more branches or vines....thanks!
Thanks for the kind remarks......I do have a question though.....I usually don't see Atticus until 10:30 -11:00 every morning....is that normal for a chameleon ?
Well, Atticus has had me as a cham-daddy for one month now (actually 3 weeks)........he's settled in and eating well, ate his first hornworm out of his bowl today. He has learned to go eat when I hang the food bowl out, he's really got a great range with that tongue, and just doesn't miss! I...
Well, ended up (after trying two other cameras) with a Google Nest Cam Indoor wired. I may not put it in the enclosure after all, although it is small enough to do so. I may rig some sort of shelf and put it against the glass on the outside. Anyway, looks great so far.....wide angle (135...
I would like to add an IP cam inside my enclosure so I can watch him during the day while at work. It would need to be wireless and non-POE, also at least IP65, and small. I bought an Amcrest IP2M-866W and received it today, but there are several issues and I'm returning it (won't work in a...

I bought the Mist King Starter with the upgraded pump (MKP-125-100) and 2 double-nozzles.....but my enclosure is 4' wide so I needed some good coverage. I also bought two of the wedges. I used a 5/8" woodbore bit on my reservoir bucket.
I started out with a 2-gal reservoir but quickly...
