1st. How big does Golden Pothos get as in whats the tallest they can be (http://www.lowes.com/pd_122921-2812...L=?Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=)

2nd. I've found some amazing sticks while walking at a local park, I was wanting to know the EASTIEST way of cleaning the sticks meaning of killing germs, bactera etc etc, could I just soak them in bleach for like 24 hours do I have to bake them?

3rd About the plant can I fill up a sink of soap w/ water and turn the plant upside down and swish the leaves around and repeat that like another 2 times to kill the pesticides ?

4th. I've updated my supply list am I still missing anything ? (Picture will be below)

5th How many plants do you think I could fit in a 18 x 18 x 36 Cage (meaning 1 large 3 small or 2 large 1 small) ?

6th Is this plant (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Delray-Plants-Schefflera-Trinette-in-10-in-pot-10TRI/203380973?quantity=1) healthy for chameleons (if so how tall can it grow)

7th Any additional information would help.

8th Which worms are the best to feed if (not high in fat) that good be a regular diet if possible?
Also disreguard the screenshot of the stick :D (http://prntscr.com/3yhwxv)

9th What type of subsrate could I use (if I could use any at all)

Pothos are a vining plant so don't really get tall at all, maybe about a foot high. They will vine downward quite a few feet though. You can just wash the sticks with soapy water and let dry. I do not bake them. You can, but it is really not necessary in my opinion. Yes, you can wash the plants upside in a bucket of soapy water. That is what I do. I would add a dripper to the supply list. I have an 18 X 30 X 36 and I usually will have two large plants in it and then a variety of branches and vines intertwined within them. I would say silkworms are the best to feed as far as worms go. I would not use any substrate. Nothing is best and the most sanitary. Oh and that is a Sheffelera plant and they are chameleon safe and can get super tall. I have some that are around 5 feet and they can get taller than that if planted in the ground.
 
  1. If you want the pothos to grow taller, you can get either some sticks or a parrot ladder and attached the vines to it as they grow (http://image.rakuten.co.jp/saisyokukenbi/cabinet/recommend/km130002m1.jpg?_ex=128x128). My pothos is about 3-ft tall with very long vines that wind around the cage. I use fuzzy pipe cleaners to gently attach it to stuff.
    .
  2. I bake sticks if I can. If they are too long, I clean them off really well and strip off any loose bark with sandpaper. Ideally, I like to cut from living trees to avoid picking up something with a bug infestation. Zip ties will help get the sticks in just the perfect formation.
    .
  3. You can, or use Dawn Liquid Dishwashing Soap (the white kind in the squeezy bottle). Use just enough to made good suds in a bucket of warm water and use a washcloth to wipe the leaves down - top and bottom. This is easy on a pothos but more time consuming with other plants.
    .
  4. Get a digital thermometer/hygrometer instead of the dial type; it will be more accurate. This is what I have: http://www.lllreptile.com/store/cat...a-digital-thermometer--hygrometer-with-probe/. Also, get several bendy Jungle Vines (http://www.lllreptile.com/store/cat...rarium-accents/-/exo-terra-jungle-vine-small/) - they are very useful.
    .
  5. Probably one large pothos or umbrella plant, some sticks, and maybe one smaller plant. I like to use bromeliads to fill out the bottom (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Delray-Plants-Bromeliad-Vriesea-Yellow-in-4-in-pot-4BROM/203380795) - makes it look more like a "planted" jungly enclosure without the hassle of dirt. You can find them really cheap at HD or Lowes (like $6).
    .
  6. It's a variety of umbrella plant. It is fine. It may grow huge, or like mine, just linger... The pothos grow really well and are very forgiving, so I would recommend a pothos definitely.
    .
  7. Additional advice: 1) Have a REALLY good time putting your enclosure together. It's one of my favorite parts. 2) Start planning for water: how are you going to provide drainage? How will you protect from overspray? 3) Read absolutely everything here that you can. 4) Find a chameleon vet and ask about general visit and fecal check costs before you get your cham.
    .
  8. Superworms are good occasional feeders. Hornworms are good but grow huge really quickly. Silkworms are excellent. We have several site sponsors that carry silkworms and hornworms. Supers should be available at any pet store.
    .
  9. Don't use any substrate. Trust us on this one. It's a pain to keep clean and some chameleons will eat it. With some experience, you decide you want to take substrate on - you can always remodel later.
