Do I need more plants?

[Sir_Ambilobe_Newton]

Hi everyone, I just got a panther chameleon a couple of days ago (the picture attached was from the first day I got him so he is on the top mesh trying to escape), I was just wondering if i have enough plants or if i should fill up the top a bit more. He has not climbed the mesh since his first day home, however he is not basking. I am not sure of its from stress of being in new environment or if it's due to exposure from lack of plants on the top. He has been eating and drinking.

That looks like it will fill in nicely... Chams like to screen crawl when they're getting used to their new home. I would raise the basking light off the top of the screen, so he doesn't burn himself. I had to do that for my guy, he's a notorious screen crawler... They don't have the right pain receptors to realize that they're burning.

Nice looking set up!

I just noticed your name ...love it!

I appreciate your feedback, and noted! I will definitely raise the basking lamp.

Thanks again!
