Hmmm, I've been going over in my mind the screen vs. glass issue while I ate my lunch. It may be my breaking point. If I get a baby I've read a small glass tank would be fine until 4 mo. That's doable in my office but temporary. Older would mean a screen enclosure and that isn't going to...

Vaporizer Got it. When my kids were little I had a vaporizer. Lots of spitting water. Hence my confusion.

Wow! :D All my questions answered minutes after I posted!! Really I'm completely blown away by this forum and it's members!! Totally get it now. The bacteria issue makes sense. Regular glass terrariums get mold easily if airflow and humidity aren't watched carefully. It hadn't occured to me...

Still wondering Got it but still my question, How do you keep the fog in a screen enclosure? I imagine you'd have to be very careful of the surface your enclosure is on so there isn't any water damage. Wouldn't the confused fog just leak all away? :confused:

Caveat: I'm confused and seeking information NOT looking for shortcuts! Since chams require relatively high humidity, why use a screen cage vs. part glass enclosure? I've read air flow is important but not why. This seems to be contradictory. Wouldn't glass give better control of humidity...

I read on the forums that some use a 'fog' system. Does this replace daily misting? If a screen cage is used how you keep the fog 'in'? Is it run continuously? I have a CalPump Ultrasonic fogger from a long ago pond set-up. (Still works) It is the 2nd from the bottom here...

Football! Oh! Oh! Oh! It's a Green Bay Packers cham!!! ;) Oh that is so funny!! lol lol (I'm a Packers fan so trust me no offense meant.)

I hadn't considered the frequency of feeding a baby. I will defintely have to rethink the age. Thanks for making that point!

I'm not sure what I want. I've been concentrating on habitat supplies/requirements. I've only seen three types in person. A male Jacksons (not fond of the 'horns'), Veiled babies (so cute), and yesterday a female Jacksons (may be a young adult and it was so lovely). I have also looked at...

Just what I needed I am so encouraged by everyone's thoughts, opinions and advice that I am definitely leaning towards getting a cham again. Likely won't be until fall though. I just want to say thanks for all the encouragement everyone! Back to reading the forums!

I actually got a real up close look at one in a petstore yesterday. They are definitely cute so I spent several hours last night reading up on them. The turn off was they are nocturnal. Then read up on Day Geckos but learned their skin is quite fragile. I would be devastated if it got out and I...

I live near LaCrosse, Wi. Madison and Eau Claire are easy driving distance. I'm fairly familiar with the Twin Cities too. Expenses: I undertsand. I am comfortable I can do it over a couple of months time. Perhaps that's why the failure rate is 'high' according to pet stores. People want to...

To SandraChameleon - Great idea. I will set that up. To PantherEnvy - What specific reason(s) would it be a problems? Food and misting? To AlecWade - I have planned to have a mist system and am researching that. I can stop by as it is just a few blocks away and I have building keys.

So I'm having second thoughts. <sigh> I have been fascinated by the creatures for years always stopping to view them at pet stores. I have no doubt I can provide the exact enclosure and other supplies necessary. I have the time to perform daily/weekly proper care. What is holding me back are...

I've come to realize that I would not be able to create and maintain the proper habitat for a chameleon. If I can't do it right, I won't do it. Thank you to those who replied to my questions!! Kimmers

I am considering having a chameleon in my office and need advice on what type of enclosure I should have if I do this. First I want to assure all that I will definitely be taking certain precautions. Location: It will be mostly hidden from view, in a very, very low traffic area, in the...

Artificial turf and leaves I saw the artificial turf at my local pet store. (Yes I know to be very careful of my purchases.) :) I thought that perhaps having several pieces would make it easier to clean. I could just switch them out and rinse. I realize this would require careful thought to set...

From reading many posts here and other webpages I understand that substrate is not recommended. I'm wondering how this relates to plants in pots. Does the soil have to be covered? With what? Also I've seen pictures of dried leaves as a substrate of sorts. What species are the leaves? I assume...
