Hi all i just wondered if there was anything I can use in the bottom of my baby chameleons viv that is soft because he fell down last night and gave me the scare of my life.His viv at the moment is only 2 foot high but that is a massive drop for a tiny fellow!!

is there plenty of greenery in there? they tend 2 grab that on the way down!!! but mine havent had a fall (yet!!!)

yes he has lots of greenery and also those bendable branches.I am getting more today but i wondered if there was anything i could use on the bottom.

i dont use substrate any more due 2 possible compaction!!! maybe u could put a slap of foam on the bottom but that could harbor bacteria?!!!

howdy pal, ive got a baby to, ive got lots ready to hatch so im in for some fun...... anyways i use soft things like artificial moss or i place toilet paper in the bottom, kitchen roll is good as well, ive used these for years and have never encounted any problems.... small artificial plants thats soft are good placed strategically so if he falls he should get a soft landing... i will say this chameleons often jump or fall off branches if theyre scared, and they are quite hard as they flatten themselves out if they know theyre going to fall... you should be ok buddy, man my mellors has dropped best part of 7 foot to the floor and he`s fine and dandy, just made a large hiss and got up as if nowt had happend.... lol.... take care pal and hope i helped you....

They're a lot hardier than they appear. Kitchen roll is great as a substrate, and you can fold it to give a bit of 'bounce'

A lot of greenery at different levels is always good, cos they often catch themselves on teh way down.

Thankyou all for your help i will add even more greenery etc,soon will not be able to see him !!

my mate Andy (winston8water) female yemen fell off a branch when mating (only about a foot high) and broke her little leg! a short trip to the vets and £100 later she now has a little splint and little plaster cast on her leg! shes doing great now!
