All the reptile shops that I have spoken to keep their chameleons in wooden vivarium and when I ask them they say mesh is the better choice but wood works as well. I'm under the impression that there's not enough airflow with wood though right?

So is it a fabric mesh then, cause if it's metal I wouldn't think a cats claw would damage it?

Completely understand, I have 1 under1 year, 1 that's turning 3 and the other 2 are 4. TBH they have so many toys and chase each other around all day that my other animals aren't interesting to them. But I know they can be silly and they love sitting ontop of my beardies vivarium. If I do get a...

I am curious, how many people on here have not taken thier chameleon to the vet. I don't mean general checkups or fecal tests etc. I mean who on here has had a chameleon that hasn't developed some sort of illness or condition that require a vet visit. Just generally curious. I understand vets...

Wow such a beautiful enclosure.
