Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Enclosure Feedback Desired
I am posting a few pics of my veiled chamelion enclosures. The larger one is for housing 2-3 females (I currently only have 1) and the smaller one is for the male and breeding. The female enclosure has either a wandering jew and a ficus with some fake vines and one fake limb, or a pothos and a ficus with some fake vines and one fake limb. The male enclosure has a fake vine and a large ficus or a fake vine, a small ficus, and a wandering jew. I would like to hear back from the cham community if these are comprable to successful setups you have seen or if they need some work. As a watering system I use a drip on both and the female reptarium has a small fountain in the bottom corner.
The picture in this post is the female 175 gal reptarium with a ficus and a wandering jew. Please remember I am a herp lover, not a photographer.
Thanks

Man,
I think your setups turned out fantastic Mike! The 175 reptarium is especially beautiful, plenty of room and greenery... Looks great! -Eric Lago *MS Reptilian Hobbyists*

They look pretty good. I'd get rid of the fountain though. They are just bacteria breeding grounds and do little for humidity or drinking water.

Thanks
Thanks for the input guys. The fountain is gone as of today. I was just looking for an excuse to get rid of that cricket corpse collector as it was. I do have one more question however. As I live in an upstairs apartment and keep my chams on the deck as the weather permits - should I worry about runoff from the roof dripping into the reptariums?
Thanks again

Possibly. If the roof is pretty old then I wouldn't worry too much, however if it is a new roof then I might try to divert some of the water.

My suggestion,
Is that you put the chams out to avoid the runoff. If your deck is wide enough, just move them a little to avoid the dripping from the roof. The rain's fine (heck, my chams love it), and I agree with the above post that it's probably not an issue or having the H2O hit them from the roof, BUT you never know, and why even take the chance? I prefer not to play roulette with the animals, just for peace of mind I would just move them out a foot if possible to avoid the runoff. And PS Mike, that gravid female is GORGEOUS man, looks super fat and happy . Hope you've enjoyed your chameleon experience thus far, they're really neat animals. -Eric Lago *MS Reptilian Hobbyists*

first gravid female
This is a picture of my first gravid female. So in roughly 8-9 months I should have another thread to post about care of babies - lol. Thanks for all the info. The reptariums are now safely out of all but the splash zone from the roof.
