If you provide a heavily shaded area so your cham can get out of the light at times, it would be fine. I have read much debate on the 5% vs 10% question. Back when I was using the petstore brands, I tried both. Since my case was heavily planted, I opted for the 10%. Then I upgraded to LYR...
For the enclosure size, get a large. Jackson can be very active chams - he will order all the space.
I have been using the Repashy LoD and NoD together, alternating about every other feeding. My cham is a Parson's, also a montane species. It's a system that is working really well. I know...
Yep! I couldn't believe the night and day (see what I did there?) difference when I switched to LYR fixtures. With every penny for the amazing light quality.
Sorry - I only have the timer model.
For an wet or damp environment that truly needs stable humidity, this would be a good piece of equipment. For chameleons, the cage needs to be allowed to dry out between mistings, so you have to balance that with trying to keep humidity at a decent...
Terrible enclosures for a chameleon (maybe for any reptile). I really wish these gimmicky things would fall off the market. There are several good threads discussing them here... And read the critical reviews on Amazon. Those folks are fighting the good fight to try to convince people not to...

FYI, this thread is from two years ago.
Still interesting information, but we seem to have a minor epidemic of "old thread necromancy" going around. Check the dates before you respond (unless it's an ongoing data collection thread like "enclosures") or you may miss out on people contributing...
No, that's a mouth infection. Look at the distension and deformation of the lower lip. He needs to be taken to a vet and have the infected area cleaned out. Antibiotics will be needed.
Like several other plants that are commonly recommended for chameleons (pothos, ficus, and others), it can be toxic if consumed regularly because the sap is irritating. Otherwise you should be okay. Keep an eye on it - if your veiled starts to nibble on it, take it out.
