Looks like you need someone to elaborate on what the two others before posted.
Pygmy chameleons are for the most part a ground dwelling species.
Yes they will venture a few feet up into the trees, but spend the most part of their life exploring on the forest floor.
Pygmy chameleons are one of the few species that can be kept in a glass aquarium.
The two people normally use is a normal aquarium like this one:

Or a stand up ExoTerra like this one:

One of the best articles for setting up a pygmy enclosure can be found here;

Really the only thing I would not use in my enclosure would be the cork.
Just remember, chameleons arent cheap!
I built a cage like the one in the article above and it still cost me 100 dollars.
Make sure you dont short cut anything either.
From the botom up:
Hydroton- It can be found here:

If you read the article above it tells you what hydroton is for.
It absorbs the excess water from mistings.
Screen- Seperates layers
Charcoal- Dont use the kind for grilling. Go to a garden place and pick up a bag.
This is for filtering the water before it reaches they hdroton.

I use a mix of cocofiber, sand, and a very small amount of dirt.
I like to toss it in a 5 gallon bucket when I mix it together.
If you use a lot of dirt or topsoil you end up with a mud pit, so you need to be careful.
Next add all of your plants.
I use low light plants like; dwarf umbrella plants, pothos, and ferns.
Last will be you bark, small twigs, biovine, and leaves.
If you pull anything from the outside make sure you bake it.
The twigs, barks, leaves, etc can carry mold/mildew and bacteria.
Have fun with your pygmy cage because you can make it very appealing to eye.
