I was thinking more of something with lots of gaps so water just runs through

So it's got no drainage gaps like ye reptile grass does?

Do you have a picture of it and what it like for drainage?

I was thinking the big gravel like 20mm but I much prefer the sound of reptile grass can you send me a link to where you got it from because I can only find 26cm x 26cm peices

Another question about plants will the constant water and high temps/humid not kill the plant

i wasnt thinking soil, and its not a glass viv its a wooden one. i was actually thinking gravel maybe 20mm gravel or something just to cover the bottom but still allow water to drain through. then i can cover the plant pot and i can remove them fairly easy to give them a wash every now and then...

Ok I'll stay away from substrate I'm in 2 minds about putting plants in, I'm going to be getting a carpet Cham and not sure male or female yet, would it be ok to put a mesh floor in? To catch the poo and stuff? What plants do you recommend?

I'm going to make an auto mister so it's going to stay humid I was only thinking substrate like gravel to help with drainage

Hey all, I'm building my own viv for the chameleon I'm going to be getting and was wondering what impact will it have if I didn't use live plants? Also what kind of substrate is best I'm reading a lot of places saying none, but I'm thinking about depoting the plant so to hide the roots could...

then i cant install a drain, plus if i build a viv i can give the cham more height for half the price if not less. for the exo terra im looking at around £90, but if i make a viv i can make it all for £40 with the height i want and specialised drainage.

I'm going for a carpet not a panther or veiled I can build a viv to the spec I want because I want to hide things and install a drain

i know you can get these because this is what i was originally hgetting but the reptile guy told me they are useless. ive got a viv planned out now sort of anyway. and the viv i can build much easier

I'm in uk maybe that's why he suggested a viv instead of a mesh, I will look into building a viv and I was thinking about a dripper anyway. Is there store bought ones or is it best just to make one?

i have seen a few builds on this forum where its a viv? i was thinking about making a viv with a nice size vent and lining the floor of the viv with glass for water collection and then using a few live plants in there maybe

Hi I'm new to chameleons, so I've been doing a lot of research online and I thought I'd ask my local reptile store too everywhere I've been reading on forums is saying to use mesh cages but I asked this question in the shop and he said no way you have to use a viv he was saying with a viv it's...
