Is my terrarium a proper setup for my Graceful chameleon? (video)

The video shows my Gecko that I had in it, but I now have my Graceful chameleon in it.



Is this a good environment for him?

The first thing I will say is get rid of the water feature. You'll see that a lot on here, but they are just a breeding group for bacteria and are way much more hassle than they are worth.

In regards to the terrarium itself, most of us in the US use screen/mesh cages for better airflow, but Gracefuls enjoy more humid environments. I have a Graceful myself, but she's in a screened enclosure. I've never used a glass viv for a chameleon. They're mostly used in Europe because of the weather over there (If I'm not mistaken) and they get warmer A LOT faster since they are glass.

People have used them successfully though. I haven't so I won't give a guarantee but you need to get rid of the water feature and get a lot more foliage, especially towards the top of the cage.
