I think he's adorable. How old is he? I see you have the big dripper on the cage and wondered what you are using for drainage?

He is really nice. That is a really really nice setup you have. I like the outside setup as well. What kind is he?

Thanks Jann, He's 5 1/2 months old now. I got him when he was 4 months from Elliot & Sandy Gesang. I am just getting his mistking set up, but I still use the dripper until he gets use to the misters invading his kingdom lol! Here's a couple pics of the drainage system I made.
I have the reservoir on a step ladder until I have time to make a nice storage cabinet to mount the pump to and hide the reservoir.

To catch the water I bought this concrete mixing tub at lowes for like $10 and ran a couple of 1x2's across the tub for the cage to sit on and drilled holes in the middle of the floor of the cage for the water to drain out since the schefflera makes the floor slightly bow out.

I took some vinyl hose and made a hole in the tub, smaller than the the hose, and squeezed the hose through so it is water tight. it just drains into a bucket that I empty every couple days.

Here are a couple more pics of him out in the sun today, I just threw together a little jungle gym for him out of some sticks and the hibiscus that is recovering from light deprivation when it was in his cage.. Woops...

Here's a couple more pics of his room also.


It took me so long to find him that day, he was just peeking through the foliage that's attached to the curtain rod.

Thanks, it's always a work in progress!

Looks like you are doing a great job with him! Careful for birds in his outdoor free-range though. Better safe than sorry.

For sure. I was sitting right next to him reading the whole time lol! When I get some time I plan on building a walk-in screen enclosure with a mist system on the pation for him! Always some sort of project going on when it comes to keeping chameleons happy!

Nice drainage set up Trey! I love all of his free range areas. I'll bet he really enjoys the outside one.

BTW You will still need the dripper for him to drink even after the MistKing. The mist from the mister is just not enought for them to have enough to drink.

Thanks Jann! He is like a little puppy, when I get up in the morning he makes a B line for the cage door and claws at it until I open it! He loves any time that he can manage to be out of his cage, especially outside. my wife and I braided like 30 feet of hemp into rope last night to add some more jungleness to his room! I would love for him to be out all the time, but I need some ideas for water delivery that won't ruin our wood floors and he loves to hunt his food and rarely shows interest in hand feeding. Im working on the hand feeding by offering him his favorite, butterworms. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the dripper info, today I noticed that his eyes weren't as "plump" as usual since I cut back on it.
