I just bought everything I need for a chameleon and I’m wondering if I need anything else!
Cage: Zilla fresh air cage 18”x12”x20”
Lighting: Uvb- 18” t5 tropical light basking- is a fluorescent house bulb 29 watt it’s keeping the basking bulb around 85 degrees.
Branches- spider wood and vines
Plants- one pothos live plant and a silk plant
Substrate- paper towels
I will mist twice a day once in the morning once at night
Ambient temperature of the enclosure is around 76 degrees in still waiting for my humidity cage to come in but I’m sure the humidity is fine I have aquariums in here and in combination with the live plants and mistings I think the humidity should be okay.
Supplements will be calcium without d3 everyday reptivite twice a month and herptivite twice a month. I will be gutloading insects with a powdered gut load from the pet store and arugula leafy greens and carrots. Do I need a dripper? Is my lighting okay? I know the cage is on the smaller side but I’m getting a baby I’ve read some places it’s better to start them out in a smaller cage and then move them up when they are bigger. I know I need to wash the plants and put some rocks around the soil but should two plants be okay for this setup I can get more if need be.
