i would like to see the different idea that you provide to your chameleon cage.
i am just trying to get some idea for the cage b4 i buy one.

There is this pet shop that is selling me a cage(screening on the side with removable top and bottom and glass on the back.) my question is is this a good cage for a chameleon? doesn't glass stress out a chameleon?
 
What are the measurements on that cage? The glass shouldn't stress thecham out...unless it is very dark around the cage and light insideof it, the reflection won't be anything he will really notice(As proof: many in Europe use all glass enclosures). In fact it will help with keeping up humidity. Just make sure the enclosure dries out at some point to prevent mold from growing. I'll post my enclosure in a second. I'll take some pics.

Unless you live in a cold weather climate like canada or the uk. I would go with an all screen cage. It is much easier to set up and to move around and gives the cham much more ventilation. If your worried about humidity issues then cover the back of the cage with a shower curtain or piece of plastic. You can use a glass terrarium, I'm not saying that you cant or others dont but unless its a montane cham your buying or you live where the temps stay cool much of the year then screen is the most economical and best for the cham.

I live in L.a, so the temp is warm

There are quite a few threads on this topic already - you might try using the search function.

In my experience, Glass does not stress chameleons. Generally speaking, screen on sides and glass on the back/front should be fine.
 
rocket, what wood do you mean? If you're refering to the wood perches, I use thumb tacs pushed into the sides. All you have to do is cut the dow rods about a half inch wider than the screen. That would most likely keep them in place due to friction, but the thumbs tacs are there just incase.
