The things I need to know are the timing of you lights, what are the temps in your cage, what is the humidity? But the humidity should change as the waterfall is bad for a cham.In my opinion you should take it out. They can poop in it, crickets can get it in , all cause bacteria which can be very bad for your chams.

If people say something about you using glass just let the know you are in the UK.

I've got my boy in a 29 gallon tank with a screen top until I can get the new screen enclosure. I am using an air pump from my old fish tanks to add some air circulation and this has helped keep the air fresher. Not sure if you are having any issues with air quality, but this has helped me!

Thats a really good idea. I have a DIY screen cage for my guy but the room hes in can get stagnant. I may try this to get some better air flow.
