A relative of mine recently inherited a baby veiled chameleon and doesn't know what to do with it. so I volunteered to take her.
I am going to start my cage build for when she comes home with me and this is what I have so far.
It needs to be mesh, not glass, humid, free flowing, high, with live plants and plenty of sticks to climb on, a basking area (around 80 degrees) at the top of the enclosure, needs to have a bedding area at the bottom (around 65-70 degrees at night), it needs to have a heat lamp for basking, and a UVB light for vitamin absorption? and it needs to be humid.
She would eat crickets twice daily, with one cricket covered in calcium for stronger bones weekly, and someone suggested a multivitamin? Finally. it needs a dripper for water, cause chameleons dont drink from a bowl, but lap it off plants.
Think I have everything covered? I want to give this Chameleon a nice place to live
Here is a simple design I did. how does it look? the panel on the right is the door. everything will be covered with mesh
OOH most importantly, This chammy would have to fly back with me from CT to Tx. and I dont want to put her down below with the dogs because it would get SUPER COLD! do you think she could survive a 3 hour flight in a small insulated cat carrier in the cabin?
Here she is
