I'm planning on building a enclosure for 4 chameleons thats bigger then the enclosures that u can buy. I was wondering what you're thoughts are about glass or plastic walls instead of the normal screen for the enclosure to help with humidity

Are you building 1 enclosure for all 4?

Just a heads up I'm not putting them all together just making a reptile wall lol

Depends on the humidity levels of your location and what type of chameleons you will be keeping. Just have to ask though...are you planning on keeping all 4 chams in the same enclosure?

No I noticed it looked like I was saying I was so I put a reply saying otherwise

The plastic or glass walls is fine as long as the top and maybe the front is screen for ventilation. Gotta be cautious though cause it'll raise humidity having solid sides. You'll prob be better off using a plastic type wall if you can get it to allow for blocking the view between each chameleon enclosure.

If you can get some PVC board like the dragon strand enclosures use that could work for the walls. Their hybrid cages are covered on 3 sides by it.

I was thinking about putting a little fan above for venting

Yea gotta be careful with fans blowing directly in. I think the object is to have it blow gently across the top to pull the air out. I believe on chameleon academy's website strand talks about it.

You could make a hybrid of both and utilize the chimney effect for ventilation. Screen on the bottom below pvc panels.

You can easily build a two by four frame for a multiple enclosure wall. I would frame it out first, use extruded pvc to separate the individual enclosures and then screen the top and build doors with ventilation. Use fans to blow air up from the top drawing in air from the front of the door with whatever ventilation method you choose. That way clean air comes in across the bottom and is drawn upward, this has worked perfectly for me. There’s a lot more to it, but this is the basic idea.

I have a glass exo terra it has a screen top and vents across the front i have a small fan on the top blowing straight up pulling air out it works really good for me

Also In the picture u can see it looks like the front doors are screen but they are glass i attached screen mesh to the inside of the doors to stop him from seeing his reflection

That's something that didn't even enter my mind

The main reason I'm doing it is I have a air conditioner so it just destroys the humidity and if I don't use it my room gets extremely hot
