Last minute thoughts/recommendations?

Sorry to post just a boring enclosure again - but it is now fully completed (I think!) with lights equipped.

-Reptibreeze XL (2'x2'x4')
-Basking bulb: 15W household (seems low to me, but it keeps a basking site of around 83-85 F)
-UVB: 18" Reptisun 5.0
-Feeding cup not shown
-Plants: Braided Money Tree (Pachira Acquatica), fake vines, bamboo sticks
-Humidity: 60+% w/o misting

Any comment, or criticism is appreciated!

I want to know what you guys think!

Thanks

P.S - Chameleon comes home tomorrow night!

More plants might be nice, they like to be able to feel comfortably safe.

Money tree is considered toxic, I'd swap it out for a schefflera or ficus.

whats your ambient air temp if you are reaching 85f with a 14 watt bulb. That dont seem right really but who knows. It is what it is.

If you can get some taller plants up there at the top there, then that would be great. other than that, good job!

I've read about this many times!

The braided money tree (Pachira Acquatica) is a safe money tree..But, you are right in a way because other types of Money Trees are known to be toxic.

my house is around 70-72 F outside the enclosure. I might add another low watt bulb to produce a tiny bit of heat on the other side or something.

And here I thought I had too many plants in there! I compared to other enclosures and mine seemed more filled up, but I have a lot of spare fake plants that I can add!

Thanks

those temps are fine. No need to add more.

Then go for it! if you fill in some of your empty space on the sides there, it will make your baby feel so much safer.
If you have to spend 10 minutes looking for your baby, then he will feel safe.

That's what I wanted to go for at first - not being able to find him! But, it'd be easy since he's going to be all blue as he gets older!

I'll take your advice and add more plants

Thanks for helping me out on two threads at once! haha
