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 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...
