Stay tuned for the video and I’ll be sure to include all the details ??
Awesome!! Good luck with the build. Not sure I’ll have my how-to video done by this week
But I’d recommend building out the background first before assembling.

What’s the plant with the red and green leaves?

Im not sure about her, but I go to this local fish store by my house for supplies for my fish (obviously, idk why I had to explain that) and they have rolls of it lined up for fish tanks, but they are mostly aquatic scenes, but maybe my reptile store has something like that. Possibly Petsmart/Petco

Great! Thank you
Yes they do!
for real... I was thinking that must be pre drilled holes in the panels or there would be some seriously crooked dragon ledges out there. How do you attach that print to the PVC wall?
How-to video should be out next week! Keep an eye out: https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon?sub_confirmation=1

Does the hybrid make a difference with temperature control? I am in the Bay Area, California, so it gets hot in the summer but not very cold in the winter months (I am not in SF proper, but an hour south of San Francisco).
I know we can do a trellis or various climbing options with the hybrids, but I think the screen sides are great for climbing in general and beat other possibilities. I am so conflicted about hybrid vs. screen enclosure and am about a month or two away from ordering the upgraded DS for my cham... UGH!!!
I keep my apartment around the same temp year round so I don't deal with temp fluctuations. @Beman has a hybrid and lives in CA so maybe she can weigh-in with her experiences.
What's great about the hybrid is it allows you to create a very controlled environment and you don't have to deal with water spraying out the sides. I keep multiple chams so it's also nice because it creates a visual barrier between chameleons.
I'm going to disagree with the screen being a good climbing option -- my panther cham as lost a lot of his nails to climbing the screen as a baby and they don't grow back.
