Since my female finished her Fortaz in May, she's been feeding a looking just fine. Both chameleons utilize the entirety of the enclosure and are doing very well. The Summer has made for lots of mantids, locusts, dragonfly, butterfly, moth, and katydid treats. Nothing moves these parsons like a green katydid!
Worthy of note are the blooming orchid and gardenia, as well as the bromeliads, that have reached their full color potential, under the lighting, in the cage. The enclosure uses 8 dual tube HO T5 fixtures, 6 Jungle Dawn LEDs, and 1 165 Mercury Vapor bulb. The only bulbs not from LightYourReptiles.com are the zoomed 10.0s, because I already had them. The T5s, aside from the 10.0s use one of the plant aquarium bulbs and one of the daylight bulbs, to provide good spectral output.
I also simulate a morning, mid day, and dusk schedule, with increasing and decreasing light intensity, so things are very natural to the plants and most importantly, the chameleons.
