Ideas on enclosure/free range setup

So here is my some what new setup. I've had it for a week now and I've been adding to it like crazy! I feel good about how the inside looks, so now I'm focusing on the outside. As you can see in the attached picture, I have hung a live pothos plant above it. He seems to really like the setup and enjoys 'free ranging' when I'm home, but I'm concerned because there is no external uvb/basking lamp setup. Today I let him 'free range' for around 3-4 hours in that kind of condition. Now to the questions...I plan on buying around 10 more of those 6 foot bendable vines to line the ceiling with them so he can 'journey' through my office. Is this a good idea? Also, should I buy a basking light to hang above the pothos plant? All ideas are welcome! :cool:

I actually love this idea. I've had my chameleon for about 6 weeks now (new owner), so I'm not sure if it's considered a "good" idea by experts and whatnot. But I love it haha.

The one thing I think of is he could probably hide behind things and you could lose him and he'll poop on stuff you don't want him to... :p Also don't leave any windows open if he's gonna be out!

I decided to go through with it...I'm still lacking some branches and some vines from being finished, but I think you all will get the idea here.

I thought about letting him sleep where he is in the photo, but decided against it...He wasn't very happy...

*update #2*

...I ended up feeling bad and I let him sleep in his free range setup...:)

I dont feel like that's too bad. Tomorrow morning before I leave for work, I will just put him back in his cage.
