Those would be fine... And that size will work for when the chameleon is moved into it's full sized enclosure..
Check out "Light your Reptiles", Todd is very good and his quad t5 fixtures are amazing...
If the probe is accurate then can you move the basking spot a little closer to the light? that will raise the temp of the basking spot... as far as the ambient temperature goes, the temp should be fine.
You could always use it to keep Dart Frogs.. They are pretty cool and with an enclosure that large you could have quite a few.. Plus you can be very creative when decorating the enclosure
Bromeliads can be tricky, if they fill up with water and can breed bacteria as well.. also they can start to rot.. your best bet is an umbrella plant, pothos, or something similar.. They are sturdy enough for the cham to climb and they will help fill the enclosure since they are fast growing
Basically anything that is vegetation, or fibrous should not be used as substrate, its a pain to clean, and will breed bacteria like crazy in such a warm humid environment. If you don't like the bare bottom you could use a reptile carpet to cover it, but you would need a couple since you will...
I had the Exxo terra one and I returned it. not much fog, and the water it spits out the top of it is scalding hot. you need it to be in a few inches of water, I even tried covering the dish with screen to protect the cham from falling in, but all the screen did was keep the fog from leaving the...
I've only used glass cages and have had no issues with them at all. Here in eastern Canada It would be very difficult to keep heat and humidity in a screen enclosure. But a glass enclosure for a reptile is completely different than an aquarium..
This is a glass enclosure I built since the only place I could find one large enough was cage by design and they wanted $2k+ for one.. As long as you have ventilation on the bottom and a screened top you will have enough ventilation.. I use distilled water in the misting system so that it...
I've also had to prime the mist king before manually since it wouldn't do it on it's own.. I did this by having a bucket handy and taking the hose from the pump to the first nozzle and removing it from the nozzle, then sucking on the hose until the water came up.. attached everything and its...
the UVB 100 or 150 are CFL bulbs.. they are just ok.. the linear tube lights are far superior in every way possible. either the 100 or 150 will be fine in your setup, but I would consider switching over to the florescent tube lighting when its time to replace the bulbs
