chameleon set up!

[chelseanlee]

hi there. i have being wanting to get 2 chams for a while now, i was going to get two exo terraniums 60 x 45 x 60 but the more i have been researching i am finding conflicting opinions about keeping chams in these. any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated as i am now unsure as to weather to get these or not! many thanks

Hi are these going to be your first exotic pets?

[chelseanlee]

well i had snakes when i was younger. my friend also had pythons, boas, geckos, beardies so i am kinda used to reptiles but do not know anyone with chameleons.

had a corn snake and an american house snake of my own.

Glass vivs for chams are a no go. 2 reasons why...one they have not got enough ventalation and chams really need this. Two chams get very stressed if they see themselves as they think its another cham. Glass would have a reflection...so not good. Flex's are the best. x

I rear all my chameleons in exo terras they are superb, and my females live in the large ones with no ill effects and have done for a long time.

o ok sounds like you got a rough idea thing is with chams they require alot of care, they need to be sprayed at least 3 times a day, they require alot of ventilation and they wont drink still water so youll need to get something that will drip or really really mist the cage other than that they make rli gorgeous fairly docile pets i would say that its probs best to get a juvinile and try to handle it ocasionally or try to hand feed it so it will become used to you. an adult will be less likely to grow used to you.

now that is what i have been told that the glass is not good as they see themselves so i thought flexi but then i got told these do not keep the humidity! i'm ike ahh!

misting 3 times a day is no problem i work split shift so i can do the morning before i go to work, at lunch when i come home then in the evening when i finnish. will this be adequate? also how about the exo foggers? are these any good for chams?
