Update; I found the cage I was talking about. The thing is massive (2ft x 2ft x 6ft) the only issue with it that i see is that it is made of a plastic, vinyl-like mesh. If i were to use a heating lamp on this, im afraid it would melt the material. Any suggestions?

Hm, maybe I can instead limit him to a specific wall haha, and putting the UVB above the window shining onto its perch and vines. My room gets about 68-low 70’s every night. My humidity is usually pretty high as i have 3 humidifiers running at specific times of the day, as well as about 15+...

I have thought about keeping it outside but my HOA does not allow animals being kept outside long-term. Would another species work better ? I have thought about a veiled chameleon.

Hi, all First post here I am looking into getting my first ever chameleon and had a couple of questions before purchasing one. I have kept other reptiles in the past, as well as countless insects, arachnids, fresh and salt water aquariums, and amphibians. I plan to get a Jackson’s Chameleon...
