New chameleon enclosure complete!

[KendoEndo]

Hey everyone! I just finished my newest chameleon enclosure. I had some dead space in my floor layout so I decided to use it more effectively. It is 3ftx4ftx6.5ft. I have a reptisun 5.0 tube and coil bulb, some plants off the nontoxic list, and 25 feet of synthetic vine. The front and top is screen to keep the air moving through it. It looks like a friggin jungle in there! I can't wait to see how my little guys like it!

Is it a built in (in the wall) or just on the other side of a wall?

Looks and sounds good except for the coil bulb. If you mean a coil UVB type, please get rid of it now as they emit very harmful (deadly, really) UVC waves. You only need the UVB from the 5.0 anyway

Really? I did not know that. I had originally planned to only use the 5.0 but it didnt seem to light up the area very well. Can I change out the coil and just put a regular light bulb in it for better lighting? I would still have the 5.0 in there for the UVB.

Ya, built it into the wall.

Yeah, put a regular bulb in for light- soft white types work well. Just make sure that your enclosure doesn't get too hot!

Also, you may want to install a little fan to circulate air better if it is built into the wall and only the front and top are open.

Good idea. I didn't think of that.
