It's massive!
lol yeah it is quite big. I kinda had a hard time hanging it in his cage. The air plant also has some cute little flowers blooming. When I put it in there I found Spyro in it he was just hiding/ climbing in it. Got the air plant for $42Oh wow, look at that air plant!!!
Hi, so basically the window his cage is at isn’t a bay window it’s just a bigger one. It has 2 layers, the layer on the outside ( 1st layer ) is screen. The second layer is glass. And yes, my window can open. But, it does not get much sunlight so I don’t really think it would be too hot?Oh wow, look at that air plant!!!
I think everything will fill in nicely. About the window though, does it open or is it a bay window? You might have to watch the heat if the sun hits the cage for too long, or if there's a draft. It can spike up or lower the heat dramatically depending, which is when the heat/heyro prob come in handy. Looking like a nice home for your boy though! If you're able to afford it, a jungle dawn light will help your plants say happy too.
Okay so, about the fake plant, it’s like my chameleons favorite spot to hide. I don’t know if I took it out it would stress him out of something. I haven’t seen him try to eat it yet, but after you talked about it, I may try to monitor him with it more.Looks like you've got a lot of good advice here already! I'm only a little anxious about the hanging fake plant,because veiled chameleons will eat plants like crazy.
Maybe you'd be interested in hanging that on the outside of his enclosure, so he still feels some of that safety from the coverage. My enclosure is a constant WIP, but this is what I've done with my fake plants so far:

By the way, I love his name. Those games were very impactful to me as a child
It does look like he makes use of it. I think the con greatly outweighs the pro myself, though. One mouthful is immediate impaction, and a complicated vet visit
Aww your Cham is so cute! I’m like freaking out right now because Spyro took hornworms from my hand for the first time. He took 4. But, I’m not 100% sure I’ll get rid of it yet. I’m just not sure how I’ll hang the spider plant or pothos there. Maybe I’ll switch it if I can figure out how.It does look like he makes use of it.

A spider plant or pothos in that same spot would work just as well! Just a suggestion. My chameleon is almost always in his spider plant.

Loves it.
Aww thanks. I love my little guy ;-;
Okay so basically I have this like green wire I use to attach like everything. DidAww thanks. I love my little guy ;-;
I watched Neptune's video on attaching branches to a screen enclosure. It's pretty DIY.
Here's an image I doodled a while ago to give an idea of how I did it

And an old creepy night time photo of my enclosure earlier on which might make it easier to see the integrity of it all.

Of course, there are also Bill Strands Dragon ledges. They are more pricey, but I imagine they make the process way way more simple.
This guy also likens chams to dragons
Yeah that's why I'm so worried seeing fake plants, because my guys eats them UP!The little bite marks on the pothos leaves.
@Cacti3 I'm only slightly jealous of the air plant.Sounds like you've got the gist of things, and your little man has a lucky place to call home!
He's left his mark on almost every leaf of that plant.
Oh, my Cham doesn’t usually eat leaves. I’ve only noticed like little nibbles in a tree when I ran out of food for him for 2 days.Yeah that's why I'm so worried seeing fake plants, because my guys eats them UP!
