You will love having them. I use a feeder cup made from a creamer container, kind of like the sunny D feeder if you search that on google. I leave home at 0530, I just toss feeders in that in the morning. Their lights come on at 0600 and they get first rain showers at 0730. (i have an...
I use a 6500k LED bulb. I like them they are bright and add a negligible amount of additional heat. Was about 12$ at loses. Looks just light a regular incandescent bulb and fits in my current fixture
The set up looks nice, I would be concerned about how close some of those vines are to the lights, the chams can get burned easily if they go to close to the top. I would drop them down so they are at least 6" from the top.
You mention substrate. Most chameleon keepers go with a bare cage...
Looks good, however you might find the chams flicking out their tongues at the bugs through the plastic....they are not too bright that way. I ended up using opaque plastic because my rocket scientists could not figure it out...

The Veiled Care sheets will help you as will the other Care Resources, I would recommend reading up on care and keeping before bringing the little guy home.
That is a very young chameleon, if he's that tiny. If that is your first I...

I have a single hood that has a 48" linear UVB I'm using a 10.0 and has places for 4 incandescent bulbs. I have it over 2 enclosures with 100 watt bulb and a LED bulb in each socket. Here it is on Amazon, they have other sizes, I love that its all in one...
I have 2 Large Keeper cages arriving on Friday I'm really excited!! They look super and I love the drainage pan concept.
I'll post pics and a review once I am set up.
I'm a fan of the big Sheffelera's and the Pothos. I make sure that my plants have lots of drainage and I try to keep my Raindomes from dripping right into my plants. I have additional plant lighting to aid in keeping the plants alive.
I had mine in a closet that had wire shelving and I hung a dome with a ceramic heater over the open Dubia bin. The temps inside were adequate and nothing was directly under or on the heat source that could melt or burn. I sat the bin on the floor and used zip ties to attach the dome light to...
Welcome!!
Welcome to the forums. I would recommend reading the Care Sheets for Veiled Chameleons from the Care Resources Link here on the site. They will help you to understand the needs of your new pet for enclosures, light, heat, supplements & food. Pretty much forget everything they told...
what's the purpose of the Red Bulb? I would just go with a straight daylight spectrum incandescent. You should be able to get your temps where you need them. I keep a few from 40 - 150 watt and swap them out as needed depending on the weather etc, if the ambient room temperature varies. They...
I just ordered 2 new large enclosures with drainage trays from our new sponsor Dragon Strand. I have just destroyed my DIY cages (operator failure) but one thing I did notice was the screen pulling off the sides and the screws on the doors were really loose after I had taken it down and put it...
