Chameleon terrarium at the Moskvarium
When the Moskvaarium Oceanarium opened in August 2015, it did not yet have an aquaterrarium (left in the photo) and a terrarium (right). Oceanariums, just like zoos, sometimes use free space to house new inhabitants of interest to visitors. That's how the aquaterrarium for mudskippers in the Mangroves and Coastal Shoals exhibit, which we made in 2017, came about.
In the 2020 anniversary year of the Moskvarium, our company made a terrarium for a lizard from the chameleon family and placed it in front of the glass house of four-eyed fish.
The reptile's small apartment is equipped with everything necessary for the cloudless life of a handsome chameleon. The handyman Alexander Khrushchev equipped the terrarium with a standard three-lamp fixture, two 150W heating lamps (day), a ceramic heater 50W (night), a warm floor, a pressure booster pump with two nozzles, and a reservoir. Timer provides periodic irrigation of the reptile and plants.
The rainbow lizard terrarium was decorated by the specialists of Aqua Logo and Moskvarium. Natural driftwood and live plants are selected and placed so carefully that the chameleon and visitors have no doubt - this is a cubic meter of Madagascar rain forest in a glass frame.
The stand of the terrarium and the space above it, Kirill Bogdanov made of polymer concrete, the color and shape of which imitates stone formations.
Chameleons eat mostly larvae and adult insects, but do not refuse plant food
The panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) in the collection of the Moskvarium is certainly a jewel of the exposition
Before sexual maturity, chameleons have gray skin color, but with age they bloom in a rainbow spectrum, and males are brighter colored than females. An adult panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) in the Moscowarium collection is certainly an adornment of the exposition.
