Improving my Ambilobe Panter chameleons enclosure. I still need a few more plants. I'm creating the chimney affect by adding plastic window wrap.

Hi! Welcome in, I'm fairly new here but there is a nice bunch of people! Beautiful panther chameleon! I added the plastic wrap to the front and then did the enclosed sides with that corrugated plastic pieces they do for yard signs and political signs.

Oh my goodness he is darling!! I love his colors! I'd be super happy to help!!
Your enclosure is off to a great start. I see you have the 24x24x48 which is a great size for your boy. All live plants as well. I would add some sticks to his enclosure so that he has more 'highways' to move around on. You can get either Dragon Strand ledges OR use corrugated plastic to wrap 3 sides of your enclosure to create some sturdy areas to attach sticks. The corrugated plastic is nice because it also helps hold in humidity. I would add many more plants as well.
This is a picture of my panther's enclosure to help give you ideas on what you are looking for, please note that:
1. The top of his enclosure is all sticks, no plant coverage so he can get proper UVB
2. The top sticks are about 6 inches below the UVB light so he gets the prover UVB levels
3. The middle/bottom of the enclosure is densely planted so he has plenty of hiding places should he need/want to use it.
4. One of my T5 hoods is a plant light which helps with plant growth
I'll attach some documents that have chameleon safe plants for you to work off of, I got most of my plants from Home Depot for $25-$7.

Hi and welcome. Just curious what type of bulb do you have in the basking dome , as it's producing a ring effect.
