Gosh I had no idea there was that much of a difference! They looked super similar online, guess it’s one of my crested geckos’ lucky day! We’re going out tomorrow for the branches so I’m sure Beignet will be fine for just one night without the vine
Quick additions to make the Cafe Du Monde the Cafe Du Monde, a hand painted sign! Also a nice thick vine to stand in until we can make it out to collect the branches. We had an awful cold front roll in with tons of rain and even hail last night and tornado watches all around us. We’re back up to...
Do you think oak or birch would be fine? Lots of those branches available in my area. 2 hours in the oven would be fine? Worked for my other vivs and fish tanks
Sounds good, wasn’t sure if it was okay if the UVB bar hung over the edges significantly. The bamboo isn’t siliconed in or anything so switching them out should be easy. What kind of branches would be good? I just placed an order for more fluker’s vines so I can get more perch height variety for her
Great! Just placed the order for the shooting gallery (such a cool name omg. All my other reptiles eat the Pangea powder formula so this is so exciting!). Currently looking for a UVB bar, all the stores around me were only selling ones longer than 16” which is the width of the cage
I’ve already read the whole “Basics” section of Chameleon Academy! I’ve followed him on Instagram for years I’m so glad my situation finally stabilized enough for me to get a chameleon :). Most of what I’m doing is from the Chameleon Academy basics section but obviously all of his resources...
@elizaann2 lets continue our convo from the show off thread here :)
I’m planning on wrapping the bamboo sticks with some sphagnum moss to reduce slipperiness and allow plants to actually grow into them. Is this plan okay?
The 5.0 UVB is a screw in bulb, would a bar light be better? Here’s a...
I just made my own thread! Working on tagging people and responding to their comments from this thread :)
Thread 'Beignet’s home (The Cafe Du Monde)'
https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/beignet%E2%80%99s-home-the-cafe-du-monde.191895/
Howdy y’all! I’ve decided to make a build thread for my girl Beignet the pied veiled Cham! Due to her being absolutely tiny we decided to start her out in the medium Reptibreeze (16”x16”x30”) and we plan on upgrading her very very soon. We would love to make her enclosure Cafe Du Monde/ Mardi...
Here’s the pic of her (on the fake vine, I figured it would be okay since it’s one solid piece and there are no leaves). Also a pic of the supplementation schedule recommended by Chameleon Academy for veiled and panther chams that I was planning to follow.
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Pied veiled cham, we believe it’s a girl (sexed via tarsal spur), and been in my care for approx 24 hours.
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
Currently not much. Planning on a 2-3...
First Cham and first Cham enclosure! We are crested, Chahoua, and leachie gecko breeders and we both work professionally in aquascaping so we LOVE building our enclosures! 16x16x30 Reptibreeze (grow out, we will probably repurpose this for another species when our girl outgrows it). 5.0 UVB, a...
Hey! I use this RO system a lot for my fish tanks. It can be attached to any faucet (hose, bathroom sink, kitchen sink, etc). My kitchen sink also doesn’t have the right attachment point for the RO but I was able to take the aerator off the bathroom sink (like @MissSkittles described) and it...
