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.

Cham cage idea...good/bad?
Going to build a cage. I had thoughts of having a raised bottom and having just the plants sticking into the enclosure. Not the pots. Have the raised bottom made of mesh of sorts to allow drainage and such from the substrate. This way the Cham won't be eating any dirt and should keep the substrate from getting too wet from a dripper. Any thoughts?

I think that is a great idea if it is done well. What sex is your chameleon, because if you have a female its sometimes a good idea to have a big potted plant for egg laying. But other than that it would probably loook very nice.
WEll good luck

like the idea. i created a platform for my enclosure to sit on with holes covered by screen for drainage. only possible problem is if you ever want to change out the plants or take them out to clean or what not, if you can get them back through the holes in the enclosure?

i've done something similar
I created my own "terrium" with something like a funnel base the directs excess water into a catch basin. Then ontop of the "funnel" i have a screen to hold up the base drainage rocks, then a layer of potting soil for the plants, then a small layer of wood chips to keep humidity levels up, then a layer of large river rocks to prevent burrowing of escapees and/or the cham eating the substrate. This way the misting system will have plenty of watering opportunitees for the cham, 2x a day for 20min on a timer. Then if i feel like spending some quality time I can hand spray/drip water into their mouths..

It would be a two piece design split in the center of the hole for the plant, so you can remove the main plant as needed. I like the funnel idea....I may also incorporate that into my idea  The Cham (will be) a male. Trying to get some housing first. Getting a small ESU cage for now being it will just be a baby from Frantz Herpetological. Just getting ahead of the game so I can have a nice permanent setup for him when he grows up
