Tips for a new cage? :)

[Seffers93]

Hey guys,
I've had my chameleon for about a week now. This whole week, he's been living in a 36 x 18 x 16 glass aquarium. He always looks like he's trying to get out through the top. I'm just assuming he is wanting to climb more?
Well, I just ordered a 24 x 24 x 48 all screened cage. I hope he will be much more comfortable in this one.
I was hoping you guys would give me some tips on how to set it up?
I want to get everything right!
Thanks guys!

What species chameleon did you get and how old is he? The all screened cage is a good idea, just put enough foliage for him to feel secure and lots of sticks/vines for him to climb on. Assuming you have a Veiled, maybe this would be helpful to you Veiled Chameleon Care Sheet. You can start off with that care sheet and eventually build your own best way to what's good for YOUR chameleon or what your chameleon likes.

It's a jacksons chameleon. He's a little under a year old.
