Almost Done, what do you think?

So here is the new home for my veiled chameleon. It is an 18x18x36 screen enclosure. I hot glued reptile flooring to the back screen to help with water control and looks. Then I ran a pond pump to a splitter and have two misting heads and a drip running into the cage. I plug it in for a few minutes two to three times a day to simulate the rain.

I have one fixed branch screwed into the boards on the outsite and one sitting in some plastic closet bar supports so if he is lounging on it I can pick up the branch and take him out sometimes (like cleaning the cage). So far he is free roam eating just fine. I also plan on adding a board across the top and bolting a hanging plant support to it and moving my pothos up to the top so he can hang out up high in the cage.

What do you think? Anything I should be aware of or change?

what kind of plants do you have inside the cage?

The big one is a Dracaena fragrans (corn plant) that still needs to grow a trunk, there are two smaller ones. A Dracaena deremensis and a Golden pothos. I pulled them all off the live plant database.

I have a Hibiscus that I might move in and out of the cage from time to time since I know he likes to munch on it.

You need to have some more live plants for him to drink off of at the top...

He will like something in the back like maybe another tall live plant?

Plants

Only suggestion I can see is you need more plants at the top of the cage. My little guy loves to hide in the leaves but if there are none at the top he would rather be cold and covered them warm and out in the open.

Thank you for the feedback. I am gonig to hang the pothos from the top tonight and that will give him a plant all the way at the top of the enclosure. Thanks again.
