avid woodworker here, titebond wood glue works just great, drys pretty quick and easy to work with cheaper than gorilla (don't skimp out on it either). make sure you clamp it up to keep pockets from forming in your seams wear mold can grow, and seal/paint the poplar well, exposed raw poplar will...
having dirt in the cage is a big no no, i would get rid of it asap, it will cause a blockage in digestive tract amongst other things. If she has been eating it i would recommend going to a knowledgeable vet. Read up on the nutrient list/schedule provided on this website, and you need to gutload...

not sure how it would work, students can be wreckles and curious, I know I was. I got caught messing around with my bio teachers pet hissing cockroaches, when she wasn't there. not Being able to observe the cham after you have left work for the day would be worrisome for any dedicated chameleon...

probably should change up the menu on him to keep him happy, meal worms are not digested well and offer little nutrition. 10-15 well gut loaded crickets a day should be enough for a growing veiled, I'm sure he could eat more, i know its not the easiest task but getting ahold of some smaller...
i build commercial cabinetry for a living and we build alot of tall large melamine cabinets. " 3/4" thick white melamine". My inquiry is could I house my future cham in one of these enclosures with just a large screen door top to bottom and have the appropiate cuts outs for drainage lighting and...
having that glass terrarium for veiled is not really best, also he/she will grow out of it soon enough. there a plenty of veiled care threads on these forums
