I have recently decided to get a panther chameleon. I have kept ball pythons, green tree pythons, red tail boas, corn snakes, milk snakes, king snakes, and geckos for the past 10 years, and I've decided I want to expand my collection. I have done some thorough research, and am confident I can care for my chameleon when I pick him up at the next NARBC, but I want to go ahead and get his enclosure ready.
Here is my problem. I don't want a screen enclosure. I want this to be purely a display animal. I was hoping to create a living vivarium and get a Nosy B. Can I keep a panther in an enclosure like this:

It is a 6x5x2 cage with ventilation, but it is not a screen cage. I was hoping to grow plants, vines, and orchids in the cage. Maybe get a waterfall and fogging system on the bottom of the cage. I was hoping that since the cage is so large it would be ventilated enough for a panther. I want only one male, and I am well aware that this cage is too big for just one chameleon, but again, this is for display.
I wanted to check in with some people that have kept chameleons for a few years, or even someone that has done something like this. If it is not going to work I would like to go ahead and know now before I drop two grand on this project.
