Yeah I thought it was cool they can climb it and it’s natural. Good note about the mold tho.. I’m planning on doing the bag coconut mat and the rest open air flowIt can be a bit expensive to do and you do need to keep watch for any mold growth, but it can be nice.
I used it for my girls for a while and they seemed to enjoy climbing it...and pulling it back to sneak peeks at their handsome neighbor. It was quite dark. After trying that and a faux background, I now have returned to shower curtain and have a blue sky one.
That’s a good point thank you!! I’m planning on doing the back all coconut husk and the rest mesh. I was planning on putting some vents towards the bottom as well I’m doing a pretty complicated DIY build. I just didn’t want a plain wall. Is there any device or anything that can tell the level of mold buildup?I don't like the idea of keeping in humidity as it is. Everything I've read says you should really keep the air circulating well in a humid environment (esp for chameleons). Also, as @MissSkittles already said, I'd be worried about mold developing.
I'm personally dealing with humidity being low (due to forced heat on with low temps in new jersey) and instead of trying to trap the humidity in my enclosure (full mesh), I am adjusting misting sessions. Adding more / raising the length accordingly. This has worked well for me. I'm still getting his humidity in the 80s-90s at night with these adjustments.
I know not everyones situation is the same. But for me personally, I just feel like trapping humidity seems risky.
I run my fogger from 1am-6am continuously without trapping the humidity. And of course I mist as well on a schedule for 2-3 mins.
Just my two cents!
Dang that looks so cool!!!! Your chams must be so happy!You could make a faux background using egg crate lighting panel, great stuff expanding foam, silicone and then loose coco coir. That too is expensive, but can look really nice. You can foam in plant pots too. *no idea why my pics are showing sideways but it doesn't matter much.

She has the best enclosures.Dang that looks so cool!!!! Your chams must be so happy!
Well, they may have been. lol I took those down and substituted fabric shower with a blue sky with little clouds. It was so dark and I wanted to lighten up my chameleons worlds.Dang that looks so cool!!!! Your chams must be so happy!
Thanks love, but not sure of that. I love @Camiezone enclosures. Those are gorgeous!She has the best enclosures.
Totally agree. Gotta soak things and let them dry out completely. I do cover two sides to protect the drywall in the corner. Plants also have to dry out or you get lots of annoying gnats.I don't like the idea of keeping in humidity as it is.

Yeah I would take her advice on this. Not only does she have excellent experience, but in all honesty..... those foam made walls are awesome. And you can shape them how you want. They will be much safer for your chameleon.Dang that looks so cool!!!! Your chams must be so happy!
Oh yes I love her enclosures as well.Thanks love, but not sure of that. I love @Camiezone enclosures. Those are gorgeous!
