Critic this new enclosure?

[LundqvistNYR]

Ok so i got a big cage for a new sub adult or an adult panther chameleon. I was wondering if covering the 2 sides is a good idea and if the climbing tree is good? But keep in mind that i am adding real plants to it. and to see if this is the right uvb fixture and bulb! And i covered the sides because i have a baby panther male right next to it on a table.

get rid of the cardboard, looks bad and will get soggy and fall apart eventually, use plexiglass or shower curtain and if you get thin plexi and use masking tape before you drill you can drill it to fit the original screws! other then that the inside is pretty cool, i would maybe get some vines or something to hang on the inside walls to give your little dinosaur somewhere to hide when he feels insecure.

Is the top of the cage screen? If so the slimline good is fine but most people will recommend reptisun 10.0 bulb if you have a screen top or Arcadia t5's
