yeah those sound like good ideas! and yeah already drawing up plans for the outside enclosure cause we just got a load of wood.
so we might just frame it out and see whats a great size to have it at.
we just built a chicken coop on the other side of the backyard lol
just got the shootgallery feeder and he already wiped all the roaches out yesterday!

Just a word to the wise... I planned out a custom-sized enclosure, but found I'd have to spend a fortune on the PVC board if the panels were any size larger than 2' x 4' which shot down my idea. There was also a support problem for a large piece across the back—not insurmountable, but enough to make me rethink the project.
If you're going to use mostly (or all) screen for the sides & back, this isn't a problem. Just sayin'...

My chameleons are in a high traffic area with a lot of noise but i'm not worried because they don't get stressed easily at all... but if you have a stress-prone cham then i would start taking action

oh nothing is happening we just have loads of extra wood to work with I already told myself as soon as I see signs of my cham being to crammed that's when we would invest into making or buying a bigger enclosure.Just a word to the wise...

An indoor one is already something I have set aside for next month.
I don't wanna sink all my money into something that my cham is to small for yet.

If the current 16x16x30 is sufficient, there's probably no harm in waiting a bit, but there's really no need to; an enclosure can't be too big for any size or age, nor a cham too small for an adult-sized enclosure.

I would say minimum 3ft tall (36"). width dosent matter as much
