Hello all, I was just wondering what all of you thought of my terrarium. Please give me some thoughts, cheers.

What is the water in the cup at the bottom of the cage for?

 

[jpf]

Driping water

Driping water

Like a drainage?
How often do you empty it? Id be scared of my chameleon maybe falling in or getting curious and going inside and not being able to get out...

Yeah, I empty it everyday

Just to be safe, I did this once too before i got a proper drainage system worked out, put something like a plastic mesh over it so IF your cham falls or anything happens theres no possibility of it drowning and it also keeps it easy to empty out. Heres my guy

Thanks lol he’s a grump he hates me but I love him. Also the carpet at the bottom will prove hard to clean once he/she gets older I spot clean mine but paper towels make it way easier!

I recommend getting at least one live plant. They hold water better and longer for your cham to drink. They also provide humidity pockets. I recommend a linear UVB or a compact that is in a horizontal dome. I would ditch the green carpet, those can get nasty, and are a pain to clean sometimes. (If you get a live plant, you can have the dripper drip over the pot to minimize insects drowning or an accident with your chameleon. Plus, if your chameleon poops in the cup of water, that will breed bacteria.)

Ok, thanks for all the responses!
