Baby Panther Nusery Help....Please Critique

[hpc1979]

Ok....so I got this new baby Panther Chameleon. I created a a new nursery for him. Just an FYI....He's not in his new cage yet. Anyways.....So I just went to Walmart and bought a 20 Gallon Tub, filled it with fake plant and sticks, added a screen, and place a hear lamp set on top. Will this due as a nusery? Did I do too much? Have a forgot anything? Is there something I should add? I would love your feedback. Keep in mind. I just threw everything in the tub, step by step to show you all what my plans are do far. Thanks!

I would raise those lights up off the cage. A tube style and an older bulb would be better. Strong UVB can bother the babies eyes. I live in FL and never have to use a basking light. I only keep babies in the very low 80's You can see my baby bins here:

Definitely raise those Lights, those compound lights are pretty intense so I can imagine it being a little too much for a baby.

Ok, thanks for that info. That's why I asked before doing anything. Other than that, is the vegetation too much or just right? I do plan on adding more sticks though.

Add a small live pothos plant. Live plants hold water better for babies to drink from.
