THE TERRIFYIUM - BUILDING A NEW TERRARIUM FOR OUR PANTHER CHAMELEON

[@Jess-unkommentiert]

Another vote for “nice tank but obviously not a chameleon tank.” Chameleon die really fast when they are stressed out a lot. Please keep an eye on him like you already do. :) You know your pet and that’s good, but even for the most curious and outside-exploring chameleon this tank is not good.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will do! Cheers!

[@josephcorazza5974]

It's really beautiful but for me the chameleon need a lot more plant to Hide, i hope he don't stress so much always in sight

[@GreenAquaShop]

Nah he is looking to be with the visitors. He spend a lot of time in the shop walking on our desk, on our Bonsai tree etc. Pretty good with people. He would spend more time outside then inside :)

[@BouncerBen]

@@GreenAquaShop he can be great with people it doesn’t mean he wants to be on display all the time. Panther chameleons come from the rainforest and live in the canopy where there’s plenty of foliage. You really need more plants for him to thrive. Great looking scape - just not ideal for a panther

[@romainhubert8882]

Would probably add a bit more plants to hide as well, it's really nice though. I didn't get how the ventilation system is working.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the info! Well, animals behave in a different way in captivity. I've seen that many times. That does not mean he feels bad where he is. :)

[@BouncerBen]

@@GreenAquaShop you can’t say thanks for the info and then ignore it 😂 you're an aquascaping channel not a reptile keeping channel... look up other Panther Chameleon vivarium videos by big reptile channels and they'll be full of plants - because that's what chameleons need! It's quite upsetting that you'd rather spread false information (that damages health of chameleons) to a target audience who mostly wont know any better, just because you cant swallow your pride. I think you have a great channel - that's why I'm subscribed... but reptiles have needs to thrive (like fish) and unfortunately you're not meeting Bruce's as well as you could be

[@gantenbein2676]

Really not a chameleon tank at all. Last tank was way better in terms of functionality.

[@saratizhoush4242]

i completely agree, it had so many branches that were skinny which i think chameleons love - they should put the cham back in its old tank, add some soil and more plants to this one and put some dart frogs in it

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah except he did not do that well in the old one. Move much more here seems like enjoy more the open space than the crowded one. But time will tell we can tweak on the layout if needed anytime. For sure it is better now already than the old was. Not only visual, but practical way.

[@insideman6680]

I keep 4 type of chameleon. They prefer foliar cover and can feel threatened by being in the open too much .Try something like weeping fig along with plants that they can drink water from like bromeliade. I hope this helps .;)

[@goose502]

He may be moving more because he’s stressed. They do better with lots of cover, I’ve kept chameleons of multiple species for many years.

[@mike2687]

@@goose502 - this is exactly what I was thinking when reading that he moves more in this one--he's looking for a place to feel secure.

[@persephone8053]

Looks amazing!! but there should be a balance between esthetics and the animals basic needs .. He needs more plants to hide and more enrichment for him... the build is lovely but its just for the look of it and not what the animal needs.

[@DavidStinson09]

Amazing terrarium great job from all. This terrarium is beautiful and it inspires me for new projects, thank you. On the other hand, I'm not sure that a chameleon is the best choice for this type of decor. Tree frogs that are native to the mountains (like Mantella aurantiaca) would have been a better choice in my opinion.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Cheers David, will see how this goes. He did not do well in the previous one which was crowded by trees, etc. He likes to spend the time outside of the terrarium with us anyways. But now he has more space to move. We do have poison dart frogs as well as crabs, but the showroom is focused mainly to aquascapes. Maybe we will tweak this one here and there based on the first months experiences. Thanks for your feedback 👍

[@emeliesamuelsson8631]

I used to have a female. She lived her life in two ficus benjamina standing beside eachother on the floor without a terarrium. Had uv lights hanging and some spotlights for extra heating. Sprayed the leaves morning and night so she could drink from the leaves and some extra with a pipette dripping infront of her after getting home from work. She went down to the soil for laying eggs but only left her trees a handfull times. She died at the age of 6 and seeing yours really made Me miss her

[@hamburg1887]

Visually a really successful terrarium! It is only unsuitable for a Furcifer pardalis. The rainy and dry times that exist in the natural habitat cannot be realized in this terrarium! A fogger does not belong in a chameleon terrarium or in a terrarium with animals at all. Especially germs that are distributed throughout the terrarium when fogging can seriously damage a chameleon. Even the plants do not need the mist, as they also have to dry off from time to time. A rain system is sufficient and much better suited to optimize the well-being of plants, animals and the climate!

[@aussiejjdude3066]

I feel like adding some marcgravia inbetween the rocks and on the background would look awesome, as well as some climbers like monstera/philodendron to offer him a little cover (and more climbing spots) would really complete the look. many monstera species come from cloud forests and would look amazing in the setup.

[@GreenAquaShop]

They don't really need covers though. And adding more plants would take a lot from the minimalist look. Well, this is just my view. :)

[@BouncerBen]

@@GreenAquaShop good scapes balance design and function. Minimalism for a chameleon is a total disregard of the animals needs and you using as art rather than the living creature it is

[@GreenAquaShop]

That's not true of course. Bruce love the visitors and people all around him. Would spend most of the time outside of the terrarium too. We had dense terrarium with plants, lot of branches as well and honestly we had more issues with that than we have currently. Time will tell if we need to tweak further the layout.

[@BouncerBen]

@@GreenAquaShop unfortunately chameleons don’t have the capability of “loving” - and boy do I wish they did! Chameleons tolerate you handling them. What size vivarium was he in before? My panther (Zeus, not Bruce 😂) was always at the glass when I was there wanting to come out - not because he “loved” me but because he wanted to get up high! But he always slept in the foliage provided. We all saw the old cage riddled with (spider?) wood and that would of course cause problems but well placed branches that you have now looks great! Just needs more leaves is all people are saying!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Every environment is different i guess. Since this is an aquarium showroom the base humidity is high. He feels comfortable climbing on our bonsai or ficus trees. Spending a ton of time outside of his viv. We take care of him like a baby :)

The driftwood needs some spanish moss (also an epyphite in the bromeliad family) draped and glued to the branches. Maybe add some pothos and some oak leaf creeping fig. And add a bunch of mini orchids.

Will see, previously we tried with more plants, more branches but was not that optimal. So this is a different way now. May will tweak it later.

This tank not safe for chameleons. 1- Add more terarium plant (For drink water and hiding) 2- Add more branches (Driftwood a good choice for chameleons than Iron wood) 3- Remove lava stones and Add Cocopeat (Rocks can cause self-harm) 4- Automated Misting system a better choice than coldmist. Or manuel spraying 2-3 times a day.

The current home works the best for him, based on what we see now.

The build is beautiful. But chameleons need a screen cage because their lungs are sensitive and they need the constant fresh air. & they like a lot of foliage to hide. They’re shy. And they don’t drink pools of water because in the wild the pools of water are poison for them. They only drink fresh rain water.
