I bought a chameleon via Craigslist yesterday (I've done my research on chameleons, in case you're concerned). He's a year old and the guy has him in a 12''x12''x18'' glass w/ screen top terrarium, so I'm building a 3'x3'x5' screen cage. I want to plant the live plants in the bottom, so my idea is if I have a drainage system underneath to collect water so it doesn't stand, does anyone foresee a problem with this? My plan is to have a pan underneath with a strong, sturdy wire and screen secured across the bottom over that, so the water well just drain through. Also, I've built plant terrariums before and am wondering if I layered (from bottom to top) the rocks, purifying charcoal, and soil, the charcoal should not harm the chameleon, correct? It's the same charcoal used in aquariums with fish to keep the water fresh.
Any helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated.
