I see.
What if I had an adult-sized cage, but jam-packed it full of foliage so s/he'd feel secure? I know it's that way with snakes (not trying to compare), that if you gave a baby ball python a 100gal tank, but packed it full of hides and leaves, he'd do just fine. Can you do that for a baby...
Yes, I wasn't trying to really compare, I was just kinda excited about it and thought it was more like chameleons than snakes were... sorry ill take that out. No, I haven't owned a chameleon before. I've researched A LOT though and I think I'm prepared I just need... the chameleon lol. I just...
Hello! I was on these forums two or so months ago, and since then I've still been trying to look at some good deals and saving money up for my chameleon (that I yet to have)! So, I was looking on eBay for some cages, and I found a guy claiming to sell you a panther egg(s) with a temporary...
Thank you so much you guys! I will wait on it. Also, things do usually seem to be much cheaper at expos, so who knows what I'll find! I definitely won't be coming home with my own beb yet, not until I'm ready. :) @dshuld thank you for sharing your story! It was great to read. You are amazing...
Sorry, I just looked back at this post
And I didn't realize I included the first part! I was typing it up, but then replied to @Jonathan Torres and forgot to erase it lol. I was just working on trying to work it right... what I'm trying to say is:
So, here's the deal. I don't have as much money...
Hey @dshuld , or anyone lol. Sorry about this, and please don't get mad at this! But, for the first year of the chams life or more/less, what's sort of the minimum I can do..? I found a cheap, used 36'' cage for $20... Because really I don't have as
Thank you! I'm SUUUPER excited too!! Thank...
Thank you so much! I've got my new list, and I was trying to plan it out a bit, and I'm confused about 1 thing. This could be the most stupid question so far, but if the cage top is 2x2, and the light is 2x4, how is the heat light going to get to him? Wouldn't the UVB light be blocking the tank..?
@dshuld , I have been watching ReptiRain reveiews and it seems like it would work until I could get the mistking/climax. I would get one of those in the future, and I could get one now but if I could find something cheaper ans works just as well I'm defiantly gonna go for it! I'm not sure if...
@dshuld Thank you SO MUCH! I'll go through all of that stuff and tell you my plan for it?
Light- So, the link you provided, that light is a basking light? The only one I'll need for heat? What exactly do you mean by "I'd go with starting fresh with no fixtures already if you are 100% sure you...
Real quick, I was looking through the closet and I found some extra snake stuff I could use! I found
a 75w bulb
a single dome
driftwood
I'm not sure if I could use any of it, but it might be helpful.
That's pretty much foreign to me lol. Thank you for explaining though! Just give me about 2 months owning a chameleon and being on these forums and I'll understand what you're talking about ;)
Oh, the deadzone makes sense! Thank you, that really helps lol
That looks amazing! What do you mean by ''mist system''? Is it like a self-misting thing lol, that would be super cool! I might not need as many plants because I'd have a smaller cage, right? I already have an amazing temp gun I got for my birthday last year (for the snakes), and I might not...
Ah! I forgot so sorry. I will then for sure just get a normal dome for the basking light, and a linear UVB(y) I don't know why I forgot that lol
All live plants, no problem. I think I'll do a Pothos, Hibiscus and maybe some Schefflera. :)
It usually doesn't get too cold here (I live in Oklahoma)...
@kinyonga , thank you for clearing some of that up! I would probably get a double light with the white basking bulb in one and the UVB in the other. I'm still not too sure what wattage to get for the basking bulb, I'm going to wait until I know for sure what size cage I'm getting because I'm...
First of all, that's an awesome business to have! I'm sure it really helps a lot of people! And, $1000! Phew! It would be horrible to buy things twice:eek:
That would be awesome, I'd love to order from you! I'll definitely be sure to talk to you close to when I get the cham!
I think I will...
Thank you, guys! Jannb, thank you and those links are very helpful! I've read through the last two, and I'm reading your blog right now ;) dshuld, I don't know where to start! I am writing everything down, and that helps a lot. I'll start with this cage-...
