Zoo-med Reprobreeze for little one...
What have you use on the 2 sides that are covered? Looks cool but I'm sure others will possibly comment that horizontal/diagonal branches are better
2 walls are made of PVC boards covered with pieces of bark.
Chameleon is tiny, he has less than three months. When he will grow, I will pull off the smaller twigs, and the others arrange more diagonally.
I invite on the Polish web to the gallery

Can't wait to show my enclosure
Hey guys! I'm gonna be taking some photo's of my enclosure this weekend. I built it myself, and If i do say so myself, it's pretty freakin awesome!!! one thing i am concerned about, and this may just be little sokar getting used to his surroundings. but the top i have a sort of chicken wire up top as the roof, and the reason i used it is so i wouldnt have to cut holes out for the UVB light. So to give you an idea, the chicken wire is aluminum and the squares are about 3/4" by 3/4" squares. maybe 1"x1" at the most. and my concern with that, is that he likes to crawl to the top of his cage and go cliffhanger style and walk around upside down on his cage under the lights. I put his uvb/basking bulb on some pieces of foam. so he doesn't burn his little feet. I've only had him for 3 days well today is day 4. I guess what i'm curious about is how do you kind of train him to stop doing that? I moved all his branches up higher thinking he was looking for way more heat and or uvb..but even with his branches about 6-8 inches below his lights. he still climbs the ceiling...is this just him getting used to his surroundings? Just to give an idea since i'm at work and don't have pics His enclosure is 3x3x7. It's made of wooden frame with normal screen door screen. the roof is a chicken wire made up of between 3/4" and 1" squares. (as in 1x1 or 3/4x3/4 just for reference). I'll post some photos this weekend.
Thanks,
Andy

Chameleons in polytunnels
Hello,
I just had a thought. If I was to set up a tropical plants growing space in the garden which was heated and humid and in a polytunnel- a bit like Kew or Eden Project (UK). If it was realistic tropical environment, would a chameleon be happy in there?
Thanks,
Rose

I'm in the uk.....
Can't think why it wouldn't work. The only issue you may have is regulating the temperature and humidity maybe. The Eden project has a massive climate control system with automatic vented windows, watering system etc.
I know that when we have the heating on over the winter it makes a massive different to the heat and humidity in the cage. If we were to do a similar thing here I think it would be nearly impossible on such a small scale because like this weekend just gone it was 16-18 degrees on Saturday and then as low as 10 on Sunday, Monday was back to 16-18 again and today it rained for 5 hours solid.

big naturalistic veiled vivarium
http://youtu.be/pUoJbXE9uo8
Just finished setting this up for our almost 1 year old male Veiled Chameleon named "Jumpy" he has been in a 18"x18"x30" screen enclosure with one scheffera and some fake plants fro almost a year as I've been getting this put together.
it is 4 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. The front panel is glass, but the side, top, and vents on the bottom/front and top/back are screen. It is built from birch plywood, sealed with epoxy on the inside and marine varnish on the outside. It previously housed leaf tailed geckos, but has been vacant for years, until I recently got it out of storage and sterilized and re-furbished it.
The background is natural cork on the left, and coco fiber mat over expended foam on the right. Plants are pothos, schefflera, hibiscus, and a bromeliad. I plan on adding a passion fruit vine, some tilandsia and an orchid, as well as some low growing moss or ferns like Selaginella. Substrate is homemade ABG terrarium mix (google it) with a sphagnum moss top layer. It has a false bottom with drains installed.
Lighting is provided by 4 54 watt 4' T-5 fluorescent tubes, 1 160 watt ZooMed Powersun, and one 90 watt halogen flood for heat.
Humidity is handled by daily misting, as well as two ultrasonic humidifiers which run for 20 minutes every 2 hours.
Let me know what you think

Can you take some more pics mate I want to do something very similar. What's the front made from (frame etc) how did you stick the coco fibre and cork bark
Current set-up
4 month Ambilobe "Roy" on the left ,7 month old veiled "Buddy" on the right, Mist king feeds both cages , Combination of live and fake plants, Pothos and Shefflera.
Buddy's big boy cage is under construction in the garage, hope to finish in the next couple days.
