Rate my Enclosure

[Z33]

So this is the inside of my 1+ year old, Female, Veiled Chameleon's enclosure. Please rate from a 1 to 5. Where 1 is the worst and 5 is the best. Aside from mentioning the vines or fake plants at the bottom of the enclosure; what do you recommend I do or add?

 

[DocZ]

Tell us more about it. If you’d like to do a husbandry form, someone can look it over.

no number rating, but I would recommend lots more branches and plants for basking and hiding

Right off:
IMO it needs about 500% more live plants (and get rid of the artificials—especially with a veiled.
More branches & things to climb on. A panel of ceiling egg crate can help.
Can't see the lighting or the drainage.
Instrumentation? Digital hygrometers/thermometers w/ probes.

Can tell more with the questionnaire filled out.
