Welcome to the chameleon life! Tons of crazy adventures to come haha

Looks great! Have you got a name?

I can't tell if you've got anything on the bottom of the enclosure (e.g. dirt substrate) but if you do, get rid of it. If not, good call haha

Otherwise it looks great for a little one. Once older, you'll want something like a 24x24x48 minimally.

Thanks! I named him Ringo! And okay did have a substrate at the bottom, it was an Eco earth! How come you don't find a dirt a good idea? I was just going to use paper towel. But I thought this would keep the humidity up a bit.

I would make the basking spot 8 or so inches horizontally away from the basking spot, instead of it being up and down?

Do you know the temps?

The reason you dont want substrate at the bottom is because if a chameleon shoots a bug from the ground it can pick up dirt and such and become impacted

What is the lid looking purple thing in the bottom?
