Steady progress, good job!

Now it's time for me to work on vines and branches. I wasn't worried about that when she was on the ground. That'll be my project today.

The cage is making progress . About the vines and branches, I would recommend doing something like thishttp://www.muchadoaboutchameleons.com/2012/04/how-to-set-up-proper-chameleon.html?m=1. I don't know if that came out as a link or not. I'm still new. I'm just referring you to this site just to bring an idea about the branches, NOT because you are doing something wrong. She used tacks and pinned the branches to the side without ripping the mesh. I think she talked about it more in the comments. Just an idea that gives chameleons more climbing room.

I was going to try tacks. I'm glad it works lol. Thank you!

No problem

You can also check out cham starter kits. They usually have everything you'll need. They'll be better the the current set up but they can be kinda janky so do your research if you plan on going that route.

I do not know if it is on sale in your area but it is only 97.97 right now at Petco

I cant find much on supplies on amazon. whats a good site to buy supplies?

You have to be specific when looking...

Just make sure that the mesh is strong and that the tacks aren't the tiny ones. You don't want a branch falling off when your cham gets on it. Your chameleon us looking a lot happier in your pic.

Amazon is difficult on these types of things for some reason... these vines don’t snap when you put sharp bends in them like the others do...

You could also cut short, natural branches from a nearby tree. Natural branches hold moisture better than fake branches. If you do use natural branches just make sure to wash them. Those vines do look useful though. Are those fake branches thick enough for the chameleons grip. They look pretty small...

She's in a chameleon starter kit now. The vine that came with it was janky and not very sturdy so I'm not going to use it. I have a vine I bought off Amazon I'm going to use. And I'm going to Walmart today to look at the dowels someone else had suggested.

I'm glad she's looking happier and climbing. The liquid calcium and gut loading has worked wonders. I'm so thankful for all y'all that have helped me and given me wonderful advice.

I use them for my veild hatchlings, smaller vines would not support a full grown veiled.

The ones in her tank now are real branches from my oak tree. The leaves are fake.

Ok nice

I got to go. See you all later.

 

[Kali11]

I want to get a little tree or something for her tank. What would be best? Ficus or hibiscus?

Ficus or Umbrella.

 

[Kali11]

They have neither at Walmart or Home Depot. Any others that would be awesome?

Schefflera is a great one too. Pothos is a staple, make sure to get one of those, I almost forgot.

This just says ficus assorted. Idk what kind it is.
