I'm rescuing a mature male chameleon later this week and this is one of the most helpful cage videos I've seen so far. Thank you so much for doing this - great job!

27:04 DAMN, not only is this about habitat building but all the lowdown on bulbs and temp and lighting and even per AGE. it's a whole ass 101 and it's amazing. i was struggling to find info of building stuff like this, though i started with mantis enclosures. but this should have 1M likes, it's so good. i feel like i could go straight off this one guide and have most of what i needed. and, sometimes, being new, you just want someone who has experience to tell you wtf to get, just to get rolling. research is fine but you can get overwhelmed to start, and you can do more researchy stuff after getting your first setup. i could do that for other people on certain topics, and impart my trial and error and save them YEARS... but it's nice if someone can do that back, with guides like this. kept snakes for a bit but the setup can be different and honestly no one was there to give me ideas about how enclosures COULD be. :/ i didn't have a lot of resources as a kid, on that first one, it was a wild preg corn snake that a friend's cousin bought stuff for and hatched the eggs, giving me one of the little guys. which, honestly, was the best most chill snake ever. complete opposite of the black and white banded kingsnake who was aggressive AF and got me out of the whole thing entirely. (woulda been nice if the shop let me know that ahead. :( i sort of discovered later after researching.) anyway i always loved chameleons but thought they were impossible and if you look at them sideways, they die of shock and fall off their branch. the same friend had a couple teeny ones, on a fake small tree, and.... recent vids, i see why that went wrong. no controlled moisture or lights. so it kind of opened that up again. saw an overpriced cham at the pet store, still cool little guy, and it just makes me really wanna do this more. but i'd go to a proper exotics store or local breeder or whatever first. (do people breed them? i know they do with snakes and aquarium fish. i'll find out.) thanks a ton. i'll check out more of your channel. i appreciated the background music haha.

Cham on your face was funny and sweet.

im going to be getting my first chameleon soon and have been waiting to get my setup firstly in order beforehand of course. havent found a better setup tutorial then this one with a ton of imformation i love it thanks so much! my uncle had me watch over his chameleon over months on end when he had some troubles. i miss her dearly as shes passed on. made me wanna get one myself knowing my cats okay with them in the room :)

Just met you at the reptile super show!! Thank you so much for your advice and help getting my new lil homie set up!!!!

Thank you so much for your video 📹 definitely helpful for new chameleon owners 😃

I like your information provided in the video as well as the BGM, so classic US tutorial video BGM lol

bro that tiny manual drill thing is awesome. i have a lot of tools and never came across that! using floral wire with it is genius! i was sitting here wondering how you were going to attach stuff when it was all screen! (i do aquariums and recently watched people do vivariums and terrariums but those too were glass.

Nice video, I'm not a technical person so this content really helps me a lot ;)

For a first time set up, this helps so much! Thank you!!

New subscriber and thank you for this video. I was stressing out about setting up the 24x24x48 enclosure cause it’s absolutely massive but your video helped a lot. 👍 ✌️

I love the lip hanger....lol

This was a FANTASTIC video!

finished! ok, the only thing i think you didn't cover was HOW to keep ambient temperature cool or cold. in warmer climates or not running the ac to 50, how exactly is that supposed to work? i've seen the suggestion of ice but that seems unsustainable, more like what you'd do in an emergency, not as a daily. (ps. also saw by the end that you do raise and sell these guys. good to know!) this is my first vid so maybe you covered that topic in another one...

One of the best videos so far. Thank you! Getting one and you gave great tips.

I am moving my anole back to a large reptibreeze. My cats ruined the last one and I have had them in a 40b double door terrarium. I just bought a bunch of 1/4 inch dowels to do almost the same. BUT I am making a U shaped frame for inside with cross bars top, center and bottom. Glued and tied with twine. I am also adding velcro to the back and sides for coroplast going up until 3 inches from the top to help hold humidity in during the dry winter months and I guess the dry ac months..lol

Good video.. My only concern is advising people to use fake plants. These can harbor bacteria and are not good for chameleon enclosures. Also using zip ties inside the enclosure is not a good idea. I got my chameleon Stubby from a breeder who had no idea his tail had gotten stuck in a zip tie. By the time he noticed, Stubby had lost the bottom part of his tail. Just some words of advice.

Ha that's great my male veiled chameleon named Rango loves to climb My face too lol

Fantastic video, thanks for that🤝🏼🇮🇪

What about water ? Or water mist , you recommend a Automatic mist or self maid ?

Great video Thank you so much🤗💥

Love the gojira shirt

Man, your awsome! Nice video :)

The chameleon on his face was like where tf am I?

That was very informative. My buddy just gave me a cham and I really wanted to make sure it’s comfy!! Do you have any pointers for beardies?

i'm concerned the screen won't be sturdy enough with everything strung to it. is there another way or have you had success installing directly on the screen?

I use the stronger 10.0 uvb bulb it's better for my veiled chameleons.

I love your videos your builds are awesome ❤

Awesome info my dude!!!!

Thankyou for this video. LEGEND, exactly what I needed. How often do you clean out the enclosure, and do you take all the branches and plants out to clean? I can imagine that is a pain in the arse

brother thank you ...I am using these ideas for a lovebird a cage like this but shorter and also to keep rodents away

Was looking for info stayed for the gojira shirt

What do you do for misting/humidity

LOVE THE VIDEO. JUST LOVE IT.

I am wondering if I leave my enclosure top off, with a tree he could climb on and maybe a humidifier in that corner to make it comfortable. I’m wondering if he will go back and forth and explore comfortably or will I have to put him back manually…. I’d like to come up with a way to give him freedom and be comfortable but given the color changing, he could be hard to get back 😎🥸🖖 any suggestions or information greatly appreciated

love this video

Have you done a segment on cleaning a enclosure?

How would you secure the wooden dowels to a glass enclosure?

Will the Arcadia pro t5 7% work?

Where did you get the tree that’s next to you in the video from? I’ve been trying to find an out-of-cage tree for my chameleon. :) 👍

How much would you charge me for a wood tray for my 24 x 24 x 48-Inches Zoo Med Reptibreeze Open Air Screen Cage.... Trying to find a tray deep enough to capture the water from my mist king system.... Need to figure out also what to use to provide soaving between the flooring of the cage and the tray itself... Thank you

How much for a drainage tray? We're upsizing to a xl reptibreeze.

Your Decorating an enclosure. How did you build the enclosure?

I am having a problem with the cricket coming out the cage from the bottom. Can you please help me with this

I'm debating on making an artificial plant wall for my chameleons so when they're out they have places to climb and blend in for their comfort and security, so you think this would be a good idea?

How do you add the misters in a screen cage

Love the video, and it was covered very well. However, I have a question…. What if said enclosure had glass sides? How would one go about fixing contact points of features?

At 29:22, Can like I look on my phone when lights are closed without disturbing the chameleon? Or just for an example play on my computer

Great video! I’m currently setting up and enclosure before I purchase a chameleon 😅 oh has this been stressful as I don’t want to mess anything up! Thanks for all the info! Quick question how do you feel about using fishing line? Do you think that will up branches?!

Hey ! Do you have any wisdom on keeping a chameleon in the UK? Where it’s not at all naturally humid. Will I need to cover some sides to keep in the humidity? I worry about it being all screen here. Thanks! Love your video

Dont you need a water mister and something to jeep humidity up

Does this method work for any chameleon

❤❤

the basking temp... won't my critter if given multiple area's to bask just find his happy place ? YES it works just like a micropone on stage

Can you do Pvc in loser they are a blip to try to figure out how to add and or connect branches plants etc. That's a video that is not out there.

Nice video with good info. I only wish you'd consider taking out the screeching guitar music. It was so distracting!!😫 I almost exited the video a few times bc it was so bad...I can only imagine how many people did just that. Sucks to lose a viewer over that. You have a nice voice with good info. That's all we need to hear.👍

What about a antheruam

Where can I buy all the supplies you used for the video ?

Can you build me one and I could pay you for parts and kaybor?

Wow can you please do my cage

What is those wood branch things ?

I thought this was how to build a cage as the title says??? Not how to furnish one 😒

Dude great content you have great ideas but just talk normal your trying to hard
