Cha- don't need much water

I used to work with a Veterinarian who worked with exotics and really I learned a lot from her. That is where I gained my knowledge from. I like how much this young woman knows about chameleon's. She gives a LOT of excellent advise, especially what she says about the lighting and the different sized chameleons. Great video!! A++++

I work at a petsmart and we got a veiled chameleon I myself own one and have an entire small bedroom for him to love and it costed me A LOTTTT of money and then in my room I have 2 leopard geckos and a baby crested gecko so he is in a small tank right now. But I work in pet care and i turn down many people from being the Chameleon because they want to impulse buy it then don’t want to buy what it needs or just want to shove it in a small cage, they get mad that I won’t let them buy it but I am allowed to reject customer purchases, I am the only one that does it and non of my coworkers do it but I have notes saying if they refused to by anything bigger than the recommended cage for it to refuse the sale and I ended up buying him just so I know he’d have a good life, this video was really good thank you!!

Okay but this is the first time I've seen a Parsons Chameleon and I love it.

Thank you, I’m really glad it helped your family :) if you’re looking for more resources to learn about chameleons, I would highly suggest checking out chameleonacademy.com

You should tell people to just buy the screen cage itself and decorate it with things and fixtures they buy separately. I agree with you in the cons of this kit. The cage itself I think is great like you said for smaller chameleon species. They do sell bigger reptibreeze cages but themselves without the stuff in the kit that may be suitable for the larger species of chameleons. 👍🏼

Gewels Sch These seem to be the biggest sizes that are made by Zoo-Med and probably other retail manufacturers. You can get custom made ones but they are going to cost you a lot of money. If money is no object, www.customcages.com can make you probably anything you want. It does not seem that these cages would be hard to make though. If you can find a wood that is rot resistant or maybe some kind of coating that would not harm the animal but would make the wood waterproof, all you would have to do is make a framework as tall and wide as you need it. Then you can go on Amazon and find aluminum or stainless steel screen mesh and attach that to the framework. It would probably be a lot cheaper this way to get the big size you are looking for. I made a stainless steel mesh cover for my 40 gallon breeder turtle tank because all the ones you can buy in the store eventually rust and you have to keep buying them. I got tired of it and made my own screen cover that will not rust. 👍🏼

I think that as long as you clean the repticarpet properly (like rinsing it with boiled water) every two weeks or so, it should be fine. I've never heard or seen anyone that's had issues using it before.

I’m a big fan of your KZread! And I love watching you. And I got the same chameleon kit but mine was only like $135

Obviously if you were to buy the kit you would buy your own plants and stuff. It just is suppose to be a few things that you would need for it. Zoo med isn't going to go all out and provide several plants and other accessories because it’s a starter kit.

Thanx good video. It helped me a lot

I love your videos 😊

My take on the kits is if the products in the kit work fine, and you're willing to buy all the extra fixings to go along with it to make the best habitat you can for your chameleon, I think it's okay. But here's the thing: if your cham is younger, therefore smaller, you might wanna start with a kit and then just upgrade the cage in the future to suit the size of your chameleon. Overall, I think the kits are okay as long as the price is worth it instead of buying each item separately, you dress up the cage to make it a good living space for your chameleon, and if your chameleon grows, you upgrade the cage into a bigger one.

I don't even own a Chameleon or have any plans to get one, but here I am at 3:30 am and I have zero regrets!

I bought the same tank you have this chameleon tank and I’m gonna be using it for my new panther chameleon I live in Florida

This is the exact set a woman at the pet store made me purchase for my baby crestie it was $190 I used some of the stuff in it but the cage was waaaaay to big for my lil guy

Sad thing is that I think a lot of people would look at a parson's chameleon in that enclosure and say it looks fine bc so many people think they are lazy or inactive animals

Hey is the screen walls not an issue? How do you drop the temperature at night? It won’t be able to retain your wishes temperature

hiya, thank you for your video, i keep watching and i cant seem to spot what heat lamp would be best for this cage? Im getting a baby panther. would you be able to advise?

Hey Emma love your review. I’m actually in need of a mesh enclosure for a devils giant flower mantis. Full grown they get to be maybe five inches. They also require 85-95 degrees and also humidity I’m not sure about. I think I’ve read 50 -60. I’m also concerned about the mesh. I would want to use a mesh that wouldn’t be harmful to the hooked feet that mantises have and metal/steel I think would damage there feet. The enclosure would need to be three times it length and two times the width. The reason being it needs this room when the growing process called molting takes place.

whose parson's chameleon was that though cause i love him

We just got our first chameleon and this is the enclosure we bought, wish we would have watched this first, can't really set up anything for it

i never knew you had a parsons! can you do a video about him

would you mind linking a long fixture for uvb? my chameleon comes in a week and i bought this cage but i want to add a linear uvb along with the lights it came with.

My humidity is very dry because I have the cage in my room should I get a fogger

I have the exact enclosure and house my Oustalet Chameleon in and it's more then enough room .And he's an Adult

What lamp fixtures was the one you showed? Where can I order it

would it hurt them if i use a compact and a tube bulb together?

I bought this kit at a reptile expo for $100 and I wasn’t even planning on getting a chameleon so before I buy my chameleon I bought jungle vines with many plants. At the moment it looks great but you definitely need to buy extra plants and vines(If you use this for baby chameleons it would be okay to just use the starting things it puts in there for you) the vines that come in the package do make me nervous for adult chameleons because of the weight of the chameleon and the chance of the chameleon falling. I have not yet bought my chameleon so if you have bought this package and have an adult chameleon I would love to hear how they like it! (Also don’t worry about how chameleons are not beginner pets I am aware I have many reptile that are at top health and I have done my research about owning a chameleon)

im getting one to and i live in canada to

Just bought a 16 by 16 by 30 and it had the exact same wobbling issue

I have a baby chameleon the size of my thumb. I got a dome light 50wattt but he turns a darker color on this back when,its on. Is that ok? He is my first reptile ever.

How can you feed your chameleon the calcium and the other samples

Oh no this was the first thing I got for my 2 veiled chameleons

Will the heat lamp melt the mesh top of the enclosure?

Could you keep pygmy chameleons in this type of cage or Anoles ?

I just purchased a juvenile vailed chameleon. And I just purchased this exact cage. I put a lot of live exotic plants and vines for him in the cage and I feed him baby crickets that I gut load and dust. and I feed him live meal worms.. I still use the uvb and heat light.
