Veiled or Panther Chameleon?

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

it's like a giant contest. It's great.

To hang the sticks, go to the craft store and find some strong wire, drill through the middle of the branch with a small drill bit, and run the wire through the branch, and through the screen, then tie it to hold it into place.

Your also gonna need drainage... Thats gonna cost a bit

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

would zipties work? we have a lot of those....

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

oh crap...... any ideas on drainage?

 

[Dumzy]

would zipties work? we have a lot of those....

Yea, small ones, but they might damage your screen and allow crickets to escape.

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

well then.... no zipties.

 

[Dumzy]

For a cheap drainage setup, get a bin the size of your cage, set your cage ontop of it, and start drilling.

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

that works. How deep? i have limited height options...

 

[Dumzy]

And if your mom doesent like crickets in the house, maybe talk about dubia roaches? They dont jump, they dont smell, they dont fly, they arent fast, and best of all, they dont f-ing chirp.

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

also, substrate? since I'm not getting a female, do I need any? is it a good idea in the first place?

 

[Dumzy]

It doesent matter how deep it is, it just needs to be emptied before it fills up to much.

NO! no substrate. it can cause impaction if ingested

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

[Dumzy]

No, no substrate, thats a horrible way to die..

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

alright, cool. less money spent. after all, a penny saved is a penny earned. *thank you ben franklin*

 

[Dumzy]

I dont feed dubia roaches honestly though, i have a massive fear that they will escape and breed in my walls and ill have a roach infestation.

also, substrate? since I'm not getting a female, do I need any? is it a good idea in the first place?

No not really I wouldn't get any but you could purchase Eco carpet or just put papertowel

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

I would hate to have a chameleon die... that would be depressing, especially if it was something I could prevent...

 

[Dumzy]

Though thats highly unlikely, i think they need dirt to lay.. And heat.
