What species are you going for Oli?
Might be worth a browse around on here for a look at set ups. http://www.chameleonnews.com/chamcare.html
You will get plenty of replies once a few more people see this post also. _________________ YSBRYDOLI POBL, GWELLA LLEOEDD

After 18 months and 3 re-designs I have decided to retire Toby's viv. I made it from Conti board but due to humidity/moisture it was starting to swell in places.
The new viv is in essence a shower cubicle. Base shower tray 750mm x 750mm. Walls 9mm ply with UPVC wall board inside and any exposed timber treated to 4 coats of yacht varnish. What with work, family life, drying times etc, it's taken me about 6 weeks to complete and now that I've done the maths, probably more than just buying one. But hey it's only money and where is the fun in buying one. |

I'm looking for a pair of Jackson's Chameleons .
They look really interesting .
There are quite a few Reptile shops in the area but none of them have any for sale and I'm struggling to find a pair so it may have to be something different . _________________ -Oli-H- |

Lol 93; Great cham viv, well done.
Oli H; There were Jackson`s on the classifieds not long ago, and at least one of our members has some somewhere. Jackson`s like plenty of air flow and also prefer cooler conditions to most species of Chameleon. Air conditioning in the room that houses them is a good move, plus they really appreciate a spell outdoors in a "predator proof" contained area as the weather allows when the natural sunlight and fresh air will benefit them greatly. _________________ YSBRYDOLI POBL, GWELLA LLEOEDD

I will have a hunt around for you when I find time . It might well be worth putting a wanted ad in the classifieds section. I certainly have seen them advertised on at least three seperate occassions in the last year so don`t give up!
