Chameleon Enclosure | How You Can Build a Custom Chameleon Enclosure



Chameleon Enclosure



Those who love nature may enjoy the chameleon lizard. There is no doubt that these lizards thrive in areas with a lot of vegetation and live only in trees. 

If you are setting up a chameleon enclosure or a Chinese water dragon cage, remember to consider this. You should make your chameleon aquarium or dragon cage feel more like home.

Chameleons are not happy if we filled their enclosures with sand, rocks, and a few logs. Chameleon enclosures or chameleon tanks should have more of a forest feel.

The cages you need should be able to:

SAFE

Many of you may think that chameleon cages are created with the wellbeing of your pet in mind. However, this is not always the case. Chameleon enclosures can be made strictly on the basis of cost.

It is important to keep your cages at the right temperature, spacious and well-lit. There are a variety of sizes available to suit every pet. The enclosures of your chameleons can even be expanded to allow them to grow with your pet.

CAGES SETUP FOR CHAMELEON

You need to ensure that the cage is the correct size before you can set up a proper cage for your chameleon. Chameleons have the following minimum dimensions: 24" wide, 24" deep, and 48" tall. You can purchase an enclosure that is 18" wide, 18" deep, and 36" tall if you have a smaller female chameleon.

VENTILATION

The issue with chameleon cages is how well they receive airflow. Lack of water can lead to stagnation, which is not good for your pet. Chameleons can develop respiratory problems because of these conditions. It is essential to provide cage vents that can push stale air around and create better airflow to help combat this issue.

HUMIDITY

The humidity is another factor to consider when setting up your chameleon cage. A chameleon's cage will be set up by the conditions in your home. To maintain a steady climate, you must be aware of where you are. 

Proper airflow and a way to remove the humidity are essential in more humid climates. Glass cages will be a better option for controlling the humidity in the cage because they are less exposed to the outside air.

HEAT

Glass cages have both positives and negatives for controlling heat. Since glass cages keep the elements that enter them, they will also keep heat. This can be good or bad depending on your location and climate. You can add cage lighting to the enclosure if you keep your home at a moderate temperature to meet the based desired temperature range. Make sure, however, that a glass cage is not overheated. This problem can be resolved by using a screen top.

WATER

You should make sure your chameleon gets enough water, which can be challenging. The chameleons get their water supply by drinking the water droplets from the leaves of trees during rain showers and early mornings. 

Drinking from a bowl of water is not in their nature, so they won't do it. Spray a mist over their enclosure to simulate rainfall to keep them hydrated. You can accomplish this with a spray bottle, a dripper system, or an automatic misting system.

SETTING UP YOUR CHAMELEON ENCLOSURES

First of all, these lizards are arboreal. Trees are their favorite. It's pretty much the only place they live in the wild. Therefore, you should fill your chameleon enclosures or chameleon tanks with plenty of foliage. Branches, leaves, and bushel baskets will make your pet feel right at home. Custom Cages offers fake foliage instead of real foliage. 

You can spice up your dragon cage or chameleon enclosure with their cage accessories. Assorted plants, moss, cypress roots, and vines are available for purchase. These are perfect for any chameleon tank or dragon cage.

By cutting branches from trees in your backyard, you can add extra foliage to your Chinese water dragon cage or chameleon enclosure. When they turn brown and die, however, be sure to remove them from your cage.

Chameleons are very solitary creatures who require a lot of hiding places. You should limit the number of times you remove them from their chameleon enclosures or Chinese water dragon cages. If you handle your pet excessively, it may become stressed out and even ill. 

The best thing to do when purchasing a chameleon is to set up a leafy habitat and then sit back and watch your pet in his chameleon tank.
