That sounds very reasonable! He does like to hide in the vines and climb around on the backWondering if the ash is the background flaking off.

Ok so this will be a lot of info.Chameleon Info:
Maybe you can assist them with proper set up on this.I don’t think they need a screen cage. With their climate it would be much easier to maintain heat and humidity with glass or wood or a combo of both. When properly setup there will be plenty of airflow.
I’ll try to explain the best I can.Maybe you can assist them with proper set up on this.
Morning! So I have sat and read the blog you have suggested. All very interesting and achievable. But I only have the 1 enclosure. Is there a way I can do this without buying another tank?Ok well I hate to tell you this but the enclosure is set up completely wrong. To have dirt like that in the bottom you have to have it done like in this blog. Then it is actually bio active. Right now that is just a bacteria breeding ground and a mud pit. He is playing in the dirt.

Lighting is incorrect as well. Are you using the red bulb? If so that needs to be removed immediately and replaced with a regular incandescent bulb. Also you need a T5HO fixture with a 5.0 uvb bulb rather then the compact bulb that is in that double dome fixture. The compacts are useless with Chameleons.
What is your humidity level you are getting in the enclosure? I am a bit concerned with him being in this enclosure. For a newbie glass is typically not recommended. Everything with the hydration cycle has to be very carefully done to avoid the chameleon getting a respiratory infection.
I prefer dragon strand enclosures. https://dragonstrand.com/
Not my blog. This is @cyberlocc blog on intro to bio activity. He can give you tips on that. I am not the person to answer questions on this because it is not my area. I know when you use things like Great stuff that has to dry and gas off for 24 hours before the Cham can go back in. I have tagged him here though for you.Morning!

Brilliant stuff. I will spend time gathering everything I need and I can free range him and also laundry basket as I have a large ficus in my orangery that’s is nice and warm. The summer has finally started here so we have some good temps.ohhh okay.
You have a glass cage.
So scratch the second half of above.
You need to cycle all inside and build all inside (you can do removable walls but the bicycle has to be done inside).
So my advice is
A. Get a Cheap Reptibreeze for outside time, later and use it for a cage for now. You can find them pretty cheap used alot of the time.
B. Use the laundry basket idea.
C. Free range.
Your looking at likely a week for good cycle time, that he will need this extra cage. So I would lean to the reptibreeze idea.
