Well,

I've just sorted out the basics of the setup I'll be using for the Chameleon which I plan to get soon.

The current setup is a 60x45x60 exo terra terrarium with refletor housing a incandesant bulb to be connected to a dimmer stat & a arcadia reflector with a 10% uv bulb on a timer, I've also included 2 tempreture probs to ensure I can monitor the temps accurately from both sides of the viv.

Its very much work in progress at the moment, the next step will be to replace the backing on the viv with either a new exo terra one or a modified one with plants in situ & then a ficus & vines.


Any suggestions or advice is appreciated.



cheers james

Well,

After a little work i've got the viv setup roughly how I want it, I've got what I think is enough climbing optoins for the panther & some space for it as well as I have read from other forum users they like their space a bit too, This will be fine tuned to the Chams specific needs mind.

Also note i've not got the basking spot bulb fitted yet thats coming later in the week.

Let me know your thoughts guys...

Cheers James
