Built Terrarium

[ChamGuy1990]

Hi so me and my wife bought ourselves a Cham during the quarantine, and instead of buying ourselves a enclosure we decide to build one! I have not setup the misting system yet still waiting on it to be delivered but I would like some feedback on what you guys think, or any changes I should make. Places and Thank

Welcome to the forums!

I would add some more foliage, and more horizontal branches everywhere.

Where is your uvb bulb? I see you have a basking bulb.

For uvb you would need a 5.0 Reptisun t5ho.. long enough to go across the whole top of the enclosure. An Arcadia 6% t5HO would work too.

The highest branch should be around 10-12 inches away from the basking bulb and the uvb bulb.

How big is the enclosure?

I think you would benefit from filling out this form as well.. to make sure you are doing everything correctly for your new chameleon.
