This thing looks huge and has to weigh a couple hundred pounds. I had to have my two son in laws help.
I think I have it fairly ready and hoping the plants grow fast so he has hiding places. Most of the plants are from my collection here so fingers crossed.
I put a 3” leca clay balls on the bottom and then covered it with a weed screen. Then added organic soil, coco coir, mulch, little sand and some charcoal. I put some leaf litter on top but I will need a bunch more. Then I added some of my springtails. The j and A mister seems to be working well and I have it set for 7 am and 7 pm for one minute. I have the fogger set up and my plant light. I’ll grab the Arcadia pro T5 6% tomorrow. I put just a 25w basking CHE as it’s fairly warm here right now. All the branches are mostly horizontal and the highest ones are 10” from the screen top.
I was so excited to work on it I woke up at 3 am and haven’t taken a break 🙈😂

That looks great!!! I love your enthusiasm and energy about it also! 😄 isn’t it crazy how we go from oh that’s a cute chameleon, I’ll take one, to rearranging our entire home, emptying our wallets, all of sudden can tolerate worms and roaches, worry about temperature and humidity in our home, and all humans can suffer as long as the chameleon is good in about 2 weeks. 😂
