Aww so sorry about the account! I always thought the diy backgrounds for the cages looked cool, and just try to make it look as much like a jungle as possible! Lots of plants, lots of branches, and a nice basking spot. A lot of people will use ropes or ladders for decor in their cages, but...
Seriously!
My chameleon: Mansion cage, amazing decoration, premium gourmet food,(even the bugs have gourmet food)my Cham gets a hangnail:5,000$ vet visit
Me: boring dirty room, ramen noodles, gets arm chopped off:band-aid.
What we do for our pets.
Not sure about the substrate, but one thing I saw in the cage is that there is a little ladder at the back of the cage. They look cool, but they aren’t really made for chameleons. If your chameleon decides to climb on the ladder, he/she could get their nails stuck in the rope holding the ladder...
