Enclosures/Free range

[jessica]

Can you guys please share pictures or links of your Melleri enclosures?

I know alot of the Melleri owners here free range and I understand it is the prefered method for these guys.

My question is do some of you have them in a 50% free range 50% cage?

I've been reading the Melleri Discovery and seen some amazing free ranges on Chameleon online, but I am curious to see the different enclosures and free ranges from some experienced owners here.

I did use the search and found a few but I am kinda hoping to consolidate them to one thread I've been searching for a a couple hours

Your time and help is greatly appreciated

There was a thread about a mellers the other day. She kept it in a 3x3x4 enclosure and Summoner12 said it was good.

Try PMing him or pardalisgirl.

Looks like that is what I am going to have to do.

I have a had great success keeping them in a 3ft x 3ft x 6ft they appear to be happy.

This pic is a bit old but the setup hasn't changed too much. I did add a 1.5" wooden curtain rod across the entire 6" area. In the year or so she's been there, she's only left it once or twice. To be honest, I can't really see a meller's in a cage, but maybe it's just me.

Ciafardo 4: Thank you very much!

Luis I agree they should be free ranged, the enclosure would be for his/her own saftey when Im unable to supervise, I have dogs .

It looks like a good start but you might want to add some more vines for your cham to move around on. The plants should fill in nicely and give good cover. Do you have vines that are higher than your head? Melleri get fussy when they aren't sitting higher than us humans.

ficus alii is great for free range because it gets big and is strong enough to hold a melleri

Lol! This is all great info however it never addresses the original question.

Can you guys please share pictures or links of your Melleri enclosures?

With all of the pics people have posted of their enclosures for melleri , I'd have to guess that either everyone free ranges them 100% of the time or you didn't ask while doing the secret melleri handshake. It seems as though husbandry questions for melleri are often times ignored and only responded to via PM.
