No lighting fixture can replicate the power of the sun. I had my pardalis out front on our river birch tree yesterday. He is 18 months old and it was his first time ever basking in real sun. It was a tear jerker haha.I highly recommend it if you can... It makes the hobby so much more enjoyable to observe their wild outdoor behavior. Nothing better than having my morning coffee while hanging out by the cage. I can also tell that cryo is so much happier and healthier outdoors!
Looks happy and blue at the same time
That looks amazing, I really like the red type of lumber you used. What did you go with for misting solution?Definitely took a few cues from your ideas , maybe I went a little out of control lol . But I am getting close to completion maybe two more weekends
I bought a digital timer that allows the water to turn on and off and then I just use typical garden quarter inch tubing and put a tea at each habitat . I’m using the heads that are called foggers they put out the least amount of water, a very fine mist on one side of the cage which allows the Chamaeleons to go into it or out of it. Some will literally sit in the mist, and some will go in and out. I’m still playing around with solutions. We have some pretty extreme temperatures here. I’m also thinking about a way of may be adding fog at night. And possibly using a swamp cooler with ducting. When the temperatures exceed 90. I don’t know if it all work just doing some experimenting. As of now when the temperatures get over 85 I bring them inside.That looks amazing, I really like the red type of lumber you used.

Very nice! I also bring him in once we hit 90-95 just to be safe and keep a watchful eye for signs of overheating. I also mist much longer and more often when it gets hotter as well as over half the cage is shaded. As for fog at night that is not needed here in the Midwest we get humidity above 95% on most summer nights and lots of natural dew.I bought a digital timer that allows the water to turn on and off and then I just use typical garden quarter inch tubing and put a tea at each habitat .

JackmanIi and Nelly Moser?Correct I have 2 varieties of clematis on the outside of the cage. Each bloom at different times and provide great shade for half the cage.
It doesn’t matter! I just wanted to see if you knew!@kinyonga I wish I could confirm haha. I didn't save the tags and forgot the names... The second one sounds right.
He usually basks for the first 2-3 hours of the morning then disappears into the foliage. Depending on the temperature of the day sometimes I see him out in the evening as well, but the cage is in full shade by early afternoon.I love the way he could get into complete shade if he wanted to!
Does he sit mostly in the sun or shade?
