Setting up a bioactive chameleon enclosure for veiled chameleons, panther chameleons, this is a universal method across all chameleon species. I'm keeping Bradypodion thamnobates in these tanks.

I hate it when people buy chameleons just to HAVE them! But they do nothing FOR the animal! Like, only putting one branch in it and that's it??!?! It's awesome to see finally someone who puts his heart and love in it and wants the animal to feel safe and comfortable♡
@MikeTytula 4 жыл бұрын
I totally agree, as more and more people impulse buy chameleons, I hope I can actually show them how to setup a proper enclosure for their new tree dragon

Love how this turned out! I’ll definitely have to try the drylock background method on a future build. I’m curious how you get the tank to ventilate enough for your little thams? Is it just through the top or did you build something into the sides as well?
@MikeTytula 4 жыл бұрын
Most chameleon species are good with similar ventilation to other animals, it comes in through the front and out the tank from a 4 inch gap in the top glass.

How do you clean a tank like this. I’ve seen some videos were they take out everything and sanitize it and replace the substrate. If the ground is dirt like that do you need to worry about cleaning it as much or is it almost like a ecosystem where it just goes to the plants? Also do you still clean all the plants and stuff like normal or do you not need to do that?

Mike Tytula Hahaa yea I be knowing. Right now I have a reptisun 5.0 on my small enclosure but I’ve been seeing the taller your enclosure is, the stronger it should be, like a 10.0 so that it reaches the chameleon when it’s lower in the enclosure. I plan on it being about 36”+ tall. I’m just paranoid about MBD and keep coming across horror stories
@MikeTytula 3 жыл бұрын
With the taller tank, they should still be able to get the same distance away from the basking area (Heat and UVB) as in the shorter enclosure. Thus, the basking (specifically the UVB) shouldn't change, as you risk going too high.

Don’t use glass. It stresses them out. Mesh is the way to go. Plus it gives them more to climb

None of that stuff is food safe and loaded with chemicals. I’m disappointed that you don’t know that

What do you mean? And the glass doesn’t stress them out.

Would you say this is cheaper than buying fake plants with a chameleon starter kit?
@MikeTytula 3 жыл бұрын
With all the proper lighting and such, no it's not. But the chameleon kit is a death trap, especially if you are unaware of how to set them up properly

@@MikeTytula ok on average how much do you think this would all cost, because if i end up getting a chameleon i want to do it the right way

Like the entire glass tank and everything to go inside it, with proper lighting and such? What species of chameleon is this for?

Mike Tytula Those are amazing species! I always wanted Trioceros hoehnelii. Perhaps sometime this year I will do a project for them.

Can always purchase something different if your climate is made for the screen kinds.

A glass tank is very bad for a chameleon cause it has poor airflow and chameleons don’t like to see themselves in the glass. Also panthers need a much larger enclosure.
@MikeTytula 2 жыл бұрын
That’s not true. The air flow in a tank like this or an exo terra is sufficient for chameleons and has been proven to be for years. I myself never had an issue with reflections and several chameleon keeper that keep in glass have never had the issue either. You can build a solid sided enclosure plenty large enough for a panther
