I used the basic design SlikJim used and built my custom enclosure 2x3x5 with a 20" deep base for potted plants. Lighting is provided by a 36" reptisun 10.0, a 36" 4600k flourescent plant bulb, and a 100w basking bulb. The basking temp is 83 degrees. The plants are all funeral plants from My wife's grandparents: ficus and schefflera. I have a neon pothos that will be going in shortly. I have bamboo poles for plant support and a fake vine with some fake greenery at the top. My idea is to get the pothos vined out for added greenery. My dad has a vineyard so I also plan on adding additional grape vines over the next couple weeks.

I just have to thank Jim because I wouldn't have know where to begin without his build guides.

Looks nice! More vines near the top would definatley be a good idea. Out of curiosity why are you using a 10.0 UVB bulb? Generally most people on this forum use and reccomend a 5.0 a 10 can be too much light and harm a chameleons eyes. A 10.0 is more for desert reptile such as bearded dragons. But your def on the right track and lookin good. What kind of Cham do you have and please post pix of it!!
 
I agree with jac about the light and more vines at he top. But the tank looks awsome post some close ups! And some of your friend who will be living there!
