I Setup Two BIOACTIVE Chameleon Enclosures! (Can Chameleons Live In Glass?)

[@ChameleonAcademy]

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information on how to chose the correct cage type for a chameleon. Screen, hybrid, or glass are simply tools and it should be a basic husbandry skill to select the correct cage type for your environment. It is unfortunate that we have such resistance to intelligent cage type selection in the chameleon community. I can only hope that the next generation of chameleon keepers and "experts" can start beyond the old tired myth that chameleons should always be in a screen enclosure. We have been working for over 20 years to try and stamp that out! Thank you for your help in setting the community free from this myth!

Thank you! After making this video I realized I had completely forgotten to mention hybrid cages, so thank you for bringing those up! Hybrids can also be fantastic options.

I hope snake discovery invited you to the 'build off' I feel like you need recognition for your enclosures!

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you! Unfortunately I wasn’t, but I’m sure many other talented people will be setting up amazing enclosures!

[@nicolepettis5533]

I started off a screen enclosure but I couldn’t hold on heat or humidity with it even side’s plastic off so I went to a glass enclosure and so far so good

Love your videos, they inspired me to get a leopard gecko and he is doing awesome! We love him so much, thank you for introducing me to such wonderful animals ❤️

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you!! I’m happy to hear your leopard gecko is doing well. I’m sure he’s in great hands! 😊

[@CaitlinG]

love what you said about screen. vs. glass for chameleons. I use to keep my veiled chameleon in a screen enclosure, but I also really struggled with dehydration. Currently, I don't keep chameleons, but considering to in the future and will look more into using a glass enclosure!

[@gymdaddys8674]

Great video! You deserve more views!

[@huongtran327]

Can you share how you set up all kind of the light that’s need for this bioactive enclosure and the chameleon?

[@LanaLeon]

How much space do you have from where you put the branches and the uvb lights??

[@el_guapo1318]

Okay. I got one. I live in Houston, Texas. It is humid OUTSIDE, year round. BUT!!! At best, the humidity INSIDE my house gets as high as 40% (we also keep the temperature between 70 and 74 during the day, 68 or 69 at night because otherwise we all feel uncomfortable when sleeping). So, for a panther chameleon in a house under these conditions... screen or cage?

love the video!! im looking to adopt a bearded dragon any tips?

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you! There’s so much I could say that really my only tip is to do plenty of research! I have a few beardie videos you could watch :)

Love your videos 🥰 any advice on Pygmy leaf chameleons? Recently got one and it’s really hard to find information on them.

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

I’ve never kept them before so unfortunately I don’t really have any information on them. They are quite difficult though

[@wildside306]

I'd love to work with pygmys. Good luck with yours!

@@wildside306 Thank you so far so good just went through her first shed and it went well. Very interesting species.

[@mikeeysaman6621]

Those are super hard to find, where did you find yours?

[@GothicG]

The drainage lair, does it just constantly absorb excess water? Does it drain anywhere?

Hey! What's your substrate mix ?

[@Travelwith_Adrienne]

I never got a Chameleon because of the screen enclosure. The Kat geckos are so cute.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@tyliful]

awesome congrats.

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thanks!

[@mariafacesaid1170]

Rubbing alcohol (or a dry erase marker) will remove sharpie if you need to correct future incubation lids! Congrats!!

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you 😊

[@ChadLower]

I didn’t know this was about cat geckos I was looking for info on the chameleon enclosures. Maybe next time keep it on track and get right into the chameleon info and save the cat gecko for another video or the end of the video. Thanks for the info it was good to hear your view on glass

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

Just skip over the part where she talks about the geckos. The majority of the vid has tons of great info on chameleons and glass enclosures

[@kylegray9541]

If you didnt silicone that background you shoukd really consider just taking that thing out because your live feeders will burrow/eat that styrofoam I seen it happen to my buddys just a few months back…. Just kind advice but im prob just assuming so my bad!

A reptile species you want to get within the next year?

Emerald tree skinks! Other than that I don’t have any plans for new reptile species
