Whats the wattage range to use for halogen bulbs?

Yea get a special glass drill bit and attach one of these types of plugs/ drains near the bottom of the cage. Leave a little space below the drain so its less likely to get clogged.

You could try using creeping plants like Soleirolia soleirolii (baby tears). It pretty much looks like moss and it's commonly used for ground cover in gardens, I've been meaning to try it.

I used pine furring strips coated with No-VOC Latex paint. There is very little off-gassing since it is water based but epoxy or polyurethane is an option as well. For a 2x2x4 cage I used one quart that was marked down for 7 bucks, using 3-4 coats. The materials ended up costing me roughly 60...

That's definitely a small sperm plug, warm mistings is a must until he "poops" it out or he might strain himself trying to remove it, especially since its been almost a week already. If you have a MistKing I'm sure it'll come out no problem as its a natural process for male chameleons. I wish...

Wow man round of applause, looks really nice! Then end result turned out great. I also like your coffee table lol. What's being housed in there?

All you have to do is go to pictures -> edit -> and touch the rotate icon on your phone. I'm sure most phones have that built in, but I can confirm its on all iOS devices.

I like your setup, the cork and air plants look nice. Plus your balcony view is sweet!

They do molt and leave a scary looking shell afterwards, so make sure they are actually dying off. I've been tricked before here's a vid of what i mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdJGc1HKPlA

That's really cool! Any chance you can post a larger resolution picture? :)

The drainage frame with liner is fantastic, i wish i had thought of that!

I think blooming is dependent on season and the light spectrum, so to force a plant to bloom you would need a different bulb. Although, I am not a botanist so I can't say for sure!

No problem! The pricing and selection of light bulbs aren't very accurate online so just stop by a store and take a look! I'm sure they'll have what your looking for.

Well the reviews on amazon seem poor. http://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-20996-65-Watt-Plant/dp/B000HJ743U Plus that wattage is high so it probably produces heat, so it is probably an incandescent. I wouldn't use it since its pretty much a basking light.

I reuse the containers the worms come in and then hot glue a piece of dowel rod to the bottom so i can shove it in a plant, like this.

You sir are correct haha!!!

And here's the cage so you know how much is painted. The design is simple and straightforward but it works for me. Large, fold-able, and relatively cheap!

I built my own screen cage using furring strips and LOW ODOR/NO-VOC latex paint. Its been finished for over a week but still has hints of paint smells when you walk by it. I read it only takes 2-3 days to cure. Do you think its safe to switch things over since it is LOW ODOR/NO VOC or should i...

Any "daylight" bulb should be OK. 6500k is the color spectrum you want for plants. CFLs work and are cheaper, but don't cover nearly as much area as linear fluorescent lights do. The linear ones are around $7 at Walmart.

Your build turned out really nice, good job! Can you post some pictures on how you built the background? I really like the rock-ish look of it! Did you use quickrete or some kind of concrete binder?
