where to buy?

[sammyamor]

Where is the best place to buy real and fake plants/vines for my chams to climb on . I will also probably buy in bulk. Also a good food bowl and maybe a waterfall for it.

please help me

For the fake vines, have a look at the forum sponsors, like Josh's frogs, LLL Reptile, Pangea, etc:

For live plants, any nursery or Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes.
Just be sure to buy plants that are known to be safe for chams and clean the plants very throughly before putting a cham on them.

Here is a forum page with links to a lot more good cham info:

I get my fake vines from hobby lobby get more bang for your buck about 9' for 15$

thanks guys!!! I heard you can get them from Michaels but I heard some vines can harm your chams

Just make sure that no small pieces can be tugged off and eaten and you should be O.K. As for the waterfall, I would suggest to avoid it. They do look cool, but are breeding grounds for bacteria and a graveyard for dead feeders. (Neither of which is a good thing for your chameleon.) You would be better served investing in a misting system. Check out MistKing and AquaZamp for some of the best misting systems. (Also site sponsors. You wont be disappointed!) Welcome to the forums!

Best prices i have found were at hobby stores. Also check estate sales and garage sales.

well I didn't understand what the guy from aqua zamp was saying for a special so I think I spent 60 on nothing hopefully he can refund me that 60 and then let me pay the difference for the systems

I like the Flukers "Bend a Branch" vines myself. They are 6 feet and are around $7.50 at petsmart. Come in multiple diameters as well. Exo-terro make some decent ones too, but these are more expensive and don't look that great in enclosures.

Just send him a PM https://www.chameleonforums.com/members/summoner12/ and I'm sure he will take care of it.

I'll echo that sentiment on the Exo-terra vines. I also feel they are harder to work with and attach to the sides of the screens. I've actually had the best luck using curly willow branches from a craft store, cut to fit, and then affixed to the screens using brass thumb tacks.
