Tips for enclosure design?

[Alc24]

Hello! I am a sorta-new chameleon owner. I have an 7 month veiled and I just got a brand new 24 x 24 x 48 reptibreeze cage for him. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks on supplies to use in the enclosure and the design itself. If you also have a picture of your enclosure, it would be amazing if you could post it so I can get some ideas tysm!

I used different diameters of wooden dowels and zipties to create a tower and hung plants off that.

I’d really look into investing in some dragon strand ledges they help you support potted plants and branches on the cage walls. @CamoChameleonsHuman idea is a very good one also. You want to be able to create sections in the cage where they can reach the top 7-8 inches for basking then a thick layer of foliage in the middle so they can retreat into the shade.

Hi, I have that same cage, here's how I have mine set up for my male panther chameleon.

There are some great Chameleon Breeder Podcasts in season 1 that will help you.

Hi I recently built this enclosure for my chameleon! I have vines that I made, as well as bamboo sticks for added climbing spots.

Hey CassieCham, have you thought about getting a t5HO light bar? It is really recommended for chameleons over the coil bulb.

Yes I have! I need to look online. The ones at the pet store are far too long for my enclosure. Thank you!
