I've heard 6 inches too, but ideally you could measure using a light meter

I would think twice about raising your enclosure off the floor. In the wild, chameleons aren't always very high off the ground. I spent 2 week in Madagascar and most the chams I saw were only about 3-6 feet off the ground. That's also a lot of work to raise it and a lot of weight, so it could be...

Can you be more specific where in the Bay Area? I live in the East Bay. Also, on a related note, I choose dubia's because when I go on vacation, they can't escape. They just sit in the feeder cup.

I bred fruit flies for 10 years when I had a dart frog. It's a pain. It'll be difficult to get enough fruit flies to maintain your cham's appitite.

I made my enclosure out of wood and coated it with a thin layer of epoxy

The vines are probably fine. It's not true that most keepers do not use them. They're perfectly safe.

Beautiful plant setup

I love this post. I've never seen this question addressed on this forum.

I'm looking for branches myself but I never thought to look at my own backyard rubber tree. Thanks for the suggestion.

I wonder if you just freeze some live dubia's from your own collection?

I saw that dubiaroaches.com has Canned Dubia's and "Zoo Med Can O’ Silkworms". Has anyone tried these? They're touted as a temporary solution if your next shipment is still a few days away. Shelf life of up to three years unopened. They also state that these freshly-preserved canned dubias are...

There are hundreds of thousands of plants in existence and only a handful on the cham-safe list. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to be perfect

I have this turf in my front yard and you would need pliers to pull it out. Chams won't be able to do so.

I recommend just use a mister and skip the humidifier because it's a lot of work to keep refiling the humidifier and it's a little redundant.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Great suggestions guys, thanks.

I'll be using a MistKing system and I'm wondering if it will over-water the plants even though it's a short cycle a few times a day. If so, does anybody use any techniques to limit absorption? Maybe partially cover the soil with plastic?

These should have been banned 10 years ago, although there's no cheap substitute for a 60 watt chameleon heater bulb

Thanks for this post. You reaffirmed my conclusion that I'm better off buying them online than breeding. Also, my wife wouldn't have it ;)

That’s a fantastic looking enclosure!
