Mango’s double wide

[MissSkittles]

After far too many things causing delays, I finally was able to get Mango’s double wide set up. There are still a couple of things to add, and I’ll get it all done eventually. Stupid arthritis is slowing me down. I’ll be adding some more branches once I see how the plants are doing. It’s been set up for a few days and Mango is still getting settled in and comfortable in it. He did already discover the isopods on his first day, of course. Thankfully he’s still a picky eater so I hope he’ll leave them alone.

I have had Lucky’s double wide set up for a little while now, but I rushed it and now need to redo some of the plants. Once I manage to get that done, I’ll share pics.

It looks great!
What did you use at the bottom of the enclosure to hold the dirt?

I use fabric/felt root pouches. The ones I used to get from Home Depot were really nice and sturdy, but I don’t think they make that type any more. I had one left and that is what I used in this enclosure. For others, I have gotten ones similar to this from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/EZ-GRO-Garde...lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A22VZIRP51LN6P&th=1 Not as sturdy/thick but it does seem to be doing the job ok.

There is so much planning and care that went into that enclosure and I can tell it’s all for love of your animals. God bless you and your sweet ones

I wondered that too, if they still find a favorite spot and just hang there all day. Maybe they pace around when they’re looking for a mate?

I sometimes think that our Chameleons live in better homes than we do.

Thank you! I have been looking at getting into bioactive for Sherbert

I do! This morning I was watching Mango and Bart, (enclosures side by side) performing in the slo mo Olympics. Mango is yet to fully explore/use the space. In the summer when I set my girls up in double wides, I was initially disappointed that they were staying in one small area. However, once they got used to it, they were all over.

The males will routinely patrol their perimeters, in between basking. Having bioactive, they learn quickly about the isopods and will move around as they hunt.

It’s just so cool! I hope to make a enclosure like that someday!
