Enclosures

[dank7oo]

I wanna see what you guys have set-up for your chams!!!
I would have pics but my dad refuses to buy a DC an our scanner is junk!!!

The veiled I have is in a 4 feet High, 3 wide, and 2 deep reptarium, with lotsa vines at different levels for him to adjust his temp accordingly ... and minimum plants because when i had a ton, he often got stuck in them - LOL - the veiled is cup fed about every 2 days, and we let him eat till he is full - :)

my dwarf panthers live together in an aquarium (to maximize the humidity ... crzy mountain species) and there are tons of leaves, and vines to climb on ... there is also a perminate feeding dish inside, where they can eat throughout the day ... the bottom is forest bedding, because both are females and they are egg laying machines!!!!!

i am possibly looking for a male dwarf panther if anyone in the ottawa area finds one ... if not (im not sure about the whole breeding idea) i am looking for a ds or rxp bar panther chameleon ... and maybe some bearded or leaf pygmies :D

so please .. post pics or describe your enclosures :)

The pothos has been cut back quite a bit, cuz it was too crowded, but now he's been eating the plant viciously lol ... so if I could turn back time I mighta left that plant a little more full!!

Anyhow, that's my set up, it's for a 7 month old male veiled chameleon. I took him outside today to bask in the sun in a reptarium cage thing for a while, he really enjoyed it, except for when I went to peak & check up on him... he'd try to hide and go all mad-coloured again, lol...

Can't wait to see others's (?) enclosures!

Forum-

For some reason this site will not show my photos when I post them, so I have to give you a link to them. Works on other forums but not this one! So the links below will take to to pictures of my cages and setups. I dont have pics of all my cages but they all look about the same.

Cham paradise,

on your outdoor cages, I notice the holes in the screen are kinda big. Do you only dish feed? Because it seems crix and other insects could easily get out.

J-Man-

Yes and no!LOL It depends on what I am feeding. I use silkworms as there staple diet and when I feed other insects like crickets I use a bowl. Hope this helps!

I buy 6000 eggs every two months and feed out evey last one. If you think about it here in the US I pay $40 for the eggs and about $20 for the food. 1000 crickets cost $16, and one good size silkworm is equal to about 3-5 adult crickets. So I end up saving money this way, but I have 9 mouths to feed! It is not so cost effective to buy bulk when you have only a few mouths to feed. Also silkworms are much cleaner then any other feeder, no smells, no noise, all around the best food. I would much prefer silkworms in the house then crickets. Good luck!

[dank7oo]

do you have an article about hatching/maintaing the eggs/worms?

[Charm_Paradise]

Hi-

No but, all I will say now is there is one comming soon, and it is VERY easy to do. Hope this helps!
