Forcifer Lateralis

[judeszoo]

I just got a Carpet Chameleon and I have heard just recently that some people actually keep them in glass enclosures. Does anyone have any input for me on this. I have it in a wire cage right now, but if for some reason glass is better, I want to move her - whatever is best for her.
She is totally awesome by the way! (wild caught, eating dusted crickets and wax worms, sprayed 4-5 times a day)
Thanks!

I keep my lateralis in a screened cage with a 85 to 90 basking area. I also mist heavily more then my panthers . I keep my high humidity chameleons in glass in the winter time mostly my montane species. I would also be careful with the wc lateralis they don't do well in captivity they stress easily which weakens there immune system. A vet visit is in order with all wc animals.
