I don't know if it is a true ivy-how can I be sure? It is an ivy that I bought with the pothos years ago- in a hanging basket from Home Depot. The leaves are small and solid green.
I don't have the chameleon in a cage? I put him on the hanging plant, arranged the vines so that they intertwine with the pothos that I hung right next to it. I hung a heat light up to shine onto the top part of the plant, wove a vine under it, along with a stick.Then I have one ivy vine that goes to the screen window where the afternoon sun shines. I put the drip system so that the hose drips water two drips a second, down onto the plant leaves then drips to the dirt in the pot, which then drips out the bottom and into the ficus tree below. There are no vines that reach the ficus at this point, however, I have it there in case he were to fall accidently. I have a UVB light on the window, shining onto the plants/favorite vines. So far I have misted the plants early morning, and in the early afternoon.
I put neopolydex ophthalmic ointment on its eye-three doses so far- and the eye is now open much more than it was yesterday morning.
If there is anything you see wrong with my setup, please let me know. I have gotten quite attached to the little guy/girl-whichever it may be. I wasnt prepared for a chameleon- it was quite a shocking surprise, so my chameleon experience is only five days long, and I only know from what I have quickly read.
Thank you.
