Can I put grass carpet in my chams enclosures? I think it will be easier for me to clean the bottom of it and it looks more natural.

What is your bottom right now? The poop will be hard to wipe off and mold can form from water under it.

IMO, the easiest to clean and still natural looking is ceramic tile with a rough (slate or stone) texture. Pick up the mess with a paper towel, a quick spritz with a cage cleaner, and wipe dry. It sanitizes and removes any smell as well, and should your chameleon spend any time walking on it, it will help keep its nails shorter. Grouting is not required for this application.

No it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Bare bottom or Bio only

So is my beardie box. First I put down a layer of vinyl shelf liner, and taped the seams & borders w/ painters tape. Then lay the tiles directly on that—no adhesives, no grouting. That way, if you have to remove them for any reason, you don't have to destroy the enclosure. In mine, there's a gap around the perimeter of the tiles; I filled that in with strips of wood.
