Hello everybody. I am the proud owner of a male veiled chameleon and a male ambilobe panther. My veiled is almost 2 years old, and my panther is 8 months. They both reside in a reptibreeze XL with tons of vines and live plants as well as a few artificial hanging vines. I have a drainage system and a mist king that runs 3 times a day for 4 minutes per cycle. All I can say is thanks to the wealth of knowledge on this forum and a little common sense. I have been very successful. Both are healthy and eat like pigs... I gutload my variety of feeders with cricket crack as well as fresh weekly fruits and veggies. I dust with plain calcium everyday and a multivitamin with D3 twice a month. My lighting is a double bulb t5 ho 12% arcadia and 6500 on each cage as well as a dome lamp with 60 watt bulbs for basking. Here are some pics. Tell me what you think...

Wow very nice!! This forum is by far the best place to answer all of your questions, but it looks like you're way ahead of the game!

I used a 24×24 garden pan, glued a 1/4" piece of acrylic on the entire inside bottom then drilled a hole to accommodate a 3/8" plastic fitting. Then attached a piece of tubing to it and let it drain into a 5 gallon bucket. I also made acrylic boxes for the bottoms of the cages to slide into so there would be no water splashing out of the cage. They have a 2" inside lip on a 7 degree angle so all the drainage water ends up in the pan. They sit perfectly on top of the garden pan.
