Converting Audio Cabnient into Chameleon Cage?

[PhxKarma]

I can't find any decent plants, must not be in season. I am considering using a combo of fake plants and real plants, a real pothos from the top with the vines, and then just a fake 3' tree with good climbing for the cham?

My only concern is the humidity, I live in Arizona and it's very dry.

Go to lowes or hd. I found some jasmine plants a few weeks ago. Then i went back and found a schefflerra. They should be getting some where you are soon if they dont already. Btw this is my first enclosure i used jasmine. Its holding up well to inside lighting and it blooms nice yellow blooms. It is viney and will climb up the cage. Oh yeah it non toxic also of course.

Pothos plants are fine, call around to different stores, those plants don’t really have a season as they are grown year round in greenhouses by suppliers. Its just a matter of tracking them down, here in Vegas (where it is also dry) its not uncommon for me to strike out at 4-5 different stores before I find the plant im after. I prefer to buy plants at a grower in CA but when yea need a plant you gotta do what you gotta do.
If you keep up with your misting you will be fine.

I didn't think I could use jasmine, I saw a few but they were $17. If the price drops I will get one, I like the yellow flowers.

Sounds like a plan, I only checked out Walmart and Home Depot today.

I plan on misting a few times a day, I usually work at 3pm so I mist first thing in the morning, and then 1-2 times before I leave for work, depending on the day, then turn on my dripper right before work.

I didnt either but i checked and it was on the safe plants list on flchams website. It was the best thing i could find back in january.

I found a few schlefferas today, but they're not tall enough. I am considering using a fake plant as my main plant in real soil, and then hang a pothos to help with humidity.

If your not getting an adult to start off. you can use smaller plants with plant stands until the larger plants start coming in this spring.

I am hoping to get a juvenile aged cham, probably 4-5 months. I am going to keep looking, I am not in any rush. I still need to finish the enclosure, gotta get the lighting mounted and get my reptisun bulbs ordered.

I have the enclosure completed, finised screening the top today, and got it moved into my new apartment.

I am about to go pickup a light fixture, dripper, and a bulb for my spotlight for heat. Going to shop around for a plant to get started growing on my patio until I get the chameleon.

I am so excited!
