If you are looking for a chameleon kit based around a mesh enclosure, who better to get it from than the largest Panther Chameleon Breeders in the UK. Our in store team have over 60 years of experience in keeping and breeding reptiles, to date we have bred over a dozen species of chameleon and have been keeping and breeding Panthers since 2004. This Kit is suitable for Panther Chameleons, Yemen/Veiled Chameleons, Oustalets Chameleons, Carpet chameleons and many more. Do consider that you will want to use the larger sized enclosure for the larger species.

Please read our comprehensive panther chameleon care guide here to learn more about the products that we provide in our kits and why we use them.

The benefits of a mesh enclosure over a glass enclosure include lower cost, better ventilation, and taller height. They are also more suitable for montane species like Jacksons Chameleons etc which will do better in an all mesh enclosure than in glass. However, do consider that because mesh is not going to retain any heat or humidity you may find you need to cover over some of the mesh to stop draughts if it is a standalone enclosure in a normal household environment.

 Not every animal is the same, nor is every home where the animal will be kept the same. This is why we provide the widest range of customisable Kit options anywhere in the UK to make sure every kit can be tailored specifically to meet both the keeper and pets’ requirements. This customisable chameleon starter kit has been put together by our in store team, so there is no better kit on the market.

This kit has been compiled by professional Zoologists with animal welfare as the primary consideration.

We want to make sure that when you buy with us you not only get great value & customer service, but most importantly products that will work and ensure your new reptile has the best quality environment in which to thrive.

Options and Upgrades:

1.      Mesh enclosure Size + with/without Substrate tray, choose your preferred enclosure size, between the Reptibreeze L at 18in x 18in x 36in (45cm x 45cm x 90cm high) or the Reptibreeze XL at 24in x 24in x 48in (60cm x 60cm x 120cm high) you can also select whether it has the substratetray or not.

2.      Reptibreeze stand – Stands are available for both sizes of Reptibreeze to elevate them off the floor.

3.      UVB Lighting kit – You can have the standard 24wProT5 Unit or upgrade to the cutting edge lumenIZE range which will do automatic dawn and dusk cycles (we highly recommend these kits). 

4.      Thermostat – The kit as standard already comes with a day andnight programmable digital dimming thermostat but if you want greater control over your heating to be able to provide varying temperatures throughout the day then we also offer all 3 of the Microclimate Evo Connected range, these are the most advanced thermostats on the market.

5.      Décor Selection – We provide two sizes of décor packs suitable to instantly kit out your enclosure, the contents of the décor packs can be seen here, they work out much cheaper than purchasing individual decorations.

6.      Live Plant / Bioactive Bundles – We would always recommend using live plants with chameleons as they will help visual barriers / cover and increase the humidity in the enclosure. The bioactive kits will help you take this one step further and create a whole living ecosystem. Do consider that to make a Reptibreeze bioactive you will need to line the base/lower section with plastic sheeting to enable you to have deep enough substrate to go bioactive.

7.      Add LED lighting – Led lighting will increase the overall brightness within the enclosure but it will also work wonders for plant growth so we would recommend these when using live plants. Options available for the standard Arcadia Jungle Dawn Bar or the LuminIZE versions of the Jungle Dawn LED Bar to give you that natural dawn and dusk cycle.

8.      Automatic Misting System – take the trouble out of regular mistings by using an automated system, the user friendly Rainmaker system from Habistat or the market leading option from MistKing are both available as additional upgrades.

9.      Arboreal Feeding station – Chameleons prefer to eat up in the trees, so the use of an arboreal feeding station is an excellent way to provide an elevated feeding experience for them.

10.   Drinking fountain – Chameleons will rarely if ever drink water from a bowl but most will drink from a fountain of moving water. This is a good way to make sure your chameleon stays hydrated.

11.   Night time heating – In colder houses some chameleons will benefit from night time heating, the night time heating kit comprises an Arcadia 14cm ceramic clamp lamp fixture + Arcadia 80w Deep Heat projector
