I was just checking the cage again and I will have to either rearrange plants or change the bin to a different shape to fit, I was wondering if a round plant pot (plastic, solid black color) could work? It's 10 inches wide at the top and tapers down to about 6 inches wide at the bottom, and is 9...
I think it must be the angle of the picture, it doesn't have a plastic cover over the bulb :)
Oh I forgot to add in the first post, but I do have pothos in most of the pots at the bottom!
And thank you for reminding me, I forgot to put the lay bin back in!! I'll go put it back now 😅
I found a few lovely plants recently for a really good price: a rather full pot of tradescantia, some type of colocasia, and a bucket with 3 sizable croton plants! I only have one in Pepper's cage, the other two I potted and left under my other grow lights. It's a bit of a tight squeeze 😅 but I...
Just wanted to add that you'll still want to use supplements during feeding, just not the vitamin A supplements :) calcium without D3 for nearly every feeding, calcium with D3 to use 2x a month, and a multivitamin to use 2x a month. I alternate between calcium with D3 and multivitamins every...
Not the best pictures but she got nervous about my phone while she was standing on my hand. Second pic is after I closed the cage and sat with her for a few minutes; she came back down and to the screen door to see what's up. She's such a sweetie (and likely hoping for more bugs 😅). I'm so glad...
Oh thank you, thats a great idea! I'll measure inside the cage and move it to the shelf above, I think that will be the best way to create some distance
Yes my goal is to have only live plants in the end! I'm getting some more plants soon and plan to separate the pothos clusters into smaller, separate ones to place them through the cage. A friend of mine is also going to give me a cutting of their Chinese banyan plant as well to start up another...
Ah yeah there are a couple of more horizontal branches that, at the closest, are about 3 inches away from the screen top. Could that be too close?
The way that I braced the cage down the center on top actually causes the light to sit a little angled, which adds about an inch or two gap from the...
Hello! I posted recently about my female veiled chameleon Pepper (~4 months old estimated) and was given some advice about her enclosure to change a few things:
- basking was too hot, around 85 F previously
- exo Terra vines needed to be removed, they tend to flake pieces of that get stuck in...
Thank you so much for all of this info, it's very helpful!!
Regarding the repashy calcium, the one I have is just called "Calcium Plus", with a leopard gecko on the label. It has 20,000 IU/lb of vitamin d3. I didn't realize but it also seems to be a multivitamin as well as the calcium and...
Thank you both! I hadn't realized that about the Exo Terra vines, thank you for letting me know!
I've got golden pothos and some type of philodendron hybrid (I forget the name, berry something?) but they're still a little small and won't provide much cover. Do you think I should still remove the...
Hello! I haven't introduced myself yet but I'm currently owned by a juvenile(?) female veiled chameleon named Pepper.
From what I've read, it seems recommendation is to reduce feedings/amount of feeders for juvenile females around 6 months of age, but I don't know the age of my girl. I brought...
