Anything missing? Any suggestions? Will the bulbs I chose work with the fixtures? BTW for the plants, I was planning on putting a little screen cover thing over the dirt so I don't have to worry about my chameleon eating the soil or something.

One more thing, I can't seem to find a good brand of thermometer/hygrometer under $20. (analog type preferred) Any suggestions?

Thanks! :)

Hopefully getting a chameleon soon :D:D:D
 
We'll for plants I would put get from Josh's frogs because those are for vivariums as opposed to a huge screen cage, so try Home Depot or lowes.
 
If I were you, I'd get a digital thermometer/hygro because they tend to be more accurate than the analog versions. A lot of people use the ones you find at home depot. I have one I bought on amazon that's made by exoterra, and then a few different cheap ones I found on ebay. So far, I'm liking the exo terra version the best.

Also, I would get a 2nd temperature probe, or temp gun so you can monitor the temp at the basking spot. You wouldn't want to put the thermometer/hygro there, because it'll be the spot in the cage with the least amount of humidity, b/c of the heat lamp.
