Outdoor Living in So Cal

I love that setup. How many females can you keep in that big cage and how well to the get along?

Looking at the size of the screen you used, I guess you have to cup feed?

I have 2 female Veileds and 3 female Panthers. All living together in the big cage. It's measurements are 6' tall x 8' wide x 4' deep. They all have their favorite spots, and seem unaffected by eachother. Sometimes I'll see two under the same misting nozzle, sharing a drink, but mostly they hang by themselves (until feeding time!). I will tell you this. They explore the entire cage, top to bottom, everyday, but always end up in the same sleeping spots. The Panthers seem to gravitate to the heat lamp area at night, the Veiled's prefer to find a hideyhole under the hanging plants.

Yes, I hand feed and cup feed. But, my favorite way to feed them is to take a plastic cup (a tall one like we get the hornworms or super worms in) and make a small (cricket-sized hole in the bottom... just one hole. Then I set that cup on top of the cage, above the tree and dump a handfull of dusted crickets in it. My Chams come running cuz they know that any second those crickets are gonna find that one hole and the only exit leads to their sticky tongues! LOL!


Thanks for the compliments... I love my Chams, and am glad to share my Cham experiences... I am still learning too!

I guess that would be Chameleon enrichment. LOL that's brilliant.
