There are some good stuff on your list and some that are not necessary, but it really depends on what species.


TIP: Not to sound rude, but those are some basic questions. Instead of waiting for us to answer your questions, with a yes or no answer, try using the 'Search' feature on this forum. Trust me when I say this, you will gain more information by searching past post, it will take a little longer but it'll be well worth it. I say this because by doing your own research, you will come to understand why something would be good or bad for your chameleon. Along the way you might come across a posting that you might have not known or asked about and therefore gain valuable information. One fatal mistake that most beginners make is believing everything they hear or read (pet stores / internet). Do your homework and you will soon find out who's words carry weight on this site and who with even good intentions can lead you the wrong way.

Actually, it is $252.38

There would also be sales tax on it if you are in California, and in their terms it has a note saying that shipping may be subject to change based on weight of purchase. Yours does not seem like it would be too heavy though.

But as far as the supplies go, seems to cover most of the basics.

I don't think you need a nightlight, unless your house drops below 60-65 at night...

You need a dripper, but that can be a cup with a hole in it.

Also, are you going to raise your own food or buy it every week?
If raising, what will you be raising?

Gutloads and diet are important for the buggies, as well as the initial purchase price of your starter colony. Also rubbermade containers for all of the insects and screen to make the lids (if you choose to go that route anyways). Keep that in mind as well when calculating your costs.

What species cham are you going for? Male or Female? The cage may be a bit small for a large male...

And Remember... Chams can be expensive to purchase as well.

Sorry for the finances rant but I just went over my costs to organize and build everything for my new breeding pair, as well as purchase them and add to my insect colonies... $1150.

The number hurts to look at.

 

[DragonChameleons]

in night our temp goes down by 40 to 35 with aircon...

i will raise a cricket...

ambilobe male...

and what will i need to make a gutload?

 

[DragonChameleons]

in night our temp goes down by 45~30 celsius...

i will raise a cricket...

my chams species is ambilobe male...

and what will i do to make a gutload?

 

[Chameleon Jim]

There are tons of recipes, as advised by first response, use the search feature, type in gutload, you are done.

I suggest roaches over crickets as a staple feeder... but that's just my opinion.

Remember, you need to offer lots of different insects. Silkworms, Superworms, roaches, stick insects, isopods, crickets, etc.

Ambilobe male would be better in 24x24x49 at full grown, once again, in my opinion.

My Panther cages are 5x3x3

Edit: You said your temps lowest is 30 Celsius? That is 86 Fahrenheit.. that is actually a bit warm for them, they need cooler temps than that.

 

[DragonChameleons]

my panther is 4 months old is the LLLreptile cage good for him?

oh ok so i dont need a night light

 

[Chameleon Jim]

For now yes, the cage is okay, at four months he is probably only 4-5 inches (10.6-12.7 cm)

I just want to make sure on the temps cause that boggles my mind.

What is the lowest temperature in your house at night, in Celsius.

 

[DragonChameleons]

the lowest temperature in my house is 28 celsius

 

[Chameleon Jim]

Then you definitely do not need heat at night, scratch that off the list.

 

[DragonChameleons]

ok thnx....where can i buy a 24x24x49 cage?

[MaxGen]

FYI, for the 18" Repti Sun 5.0 you have, you will need a 24" fixture, not the 18" you have listed.

 

[pssh]

You house temp needs to drop to Around 60 degrees F, which is 15 C. The highest, in my opinion, it should ever go at night is 20 degrees C.

If I were you I would buy a hood for the UVB light at a hardware store, as it's cheaper. An adult male ambilobe will need a 2x2x4 foot cage as an adult. He can probably be put in it right now if you cup feed.

 

[DragonChameleons]

ok thnx again
