Vivarium Setup
Hello all,
I have a wonderful little male Jackson's Chameleon named Dino (like Fred Flinstone's pet). My boyfriend and I have several pets, but this is our first adventure into vivariums and the like. He is currently in a 55 gal aquarium (one we just had sitting around). We first used Repti-bark as the substrate, but that quickly grew mites and has small pools of water; the bark also seems to get old quickly and the humidity does not seem to stay in the air...just sits in the bark. I know he needs a lot of humidity, so I was wondering what you all thought would be the best substrate to use and the best way to keep the humidity level higher. I heard that gravel is a good one, does anyone else agree? Thanks.
