I dont.It is very basic for them the trio live in a 12" tank with coco fiber substrate 3" deep and thin branches from plants spray twice a day and as mine are sitting on top of my bigger chameleon vivs they dont need heat and they dont need UV

I have always liked the idea of having a pet chameleon but don't know enough about them to get one. They fascinate me.

they are not kids pets. they are not for beginners either. they have specific requirements and are fragile creatures.

come on graham, u cant dangle the carrot the not answer....ev one wants one and we need answers!!!

 

[hjkaga]

u dont want air to be flowing over them, it would be like sitting the tank in the way of a draft...definately not good.

 

[hjkaga]

if the bubble wand is at the top it wont circulate the rest of the air lower down in the cage, so it still doesnt do any good.

as for a cage you can get one of these:

they are called reptariums and cost less than the newer cages they have out.
