Centerpiece plant recommendations for bioactive tank

[BenjiTheCham]

I’m setting up my 36 x 18 x 24 bioactive tank I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for centerpiece plants. I have been looking and most people will say trees and stuff, but it doesn’t seem practical in a 2 foot tall setup (including substrate)

If that is for a chameleon, that seems a bit too small....

Most people say it’s fine. It’s glass btw

Just remember that they grow and chances are you will need to go to a larger enclosure down the line.
Screen enclosures seem to be prefered because of better ventilation.

Hmm. Okay

 

[PabloTheCham]

Hmm. Okay

No... really. It's important.

Yeah, I know

Your cham will be needing more height. You may be able to rig up something like securing a screen enclosure to the top of your glass one.

Okay, Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll take a look into that

Tank? Like an aquarium tank? Or is it an enclosure with designed airflow?

It’s an exo terra enclosure, don’t worry lol. I found a plant so it doesn’t really matter (money tree btw)

No

24x18x36 is fine, what you are talking about is not fine.

24x18x36 Is fine.

36x18x24 NOT fine.

36x18x36 Is best

Its not practical in a 2ft setup with 18 inches of open space, however nor is that enclosure suitable for a Tree Chameleon.

If you already have that Glass tank, get a Bush Chameleon for it (Carpet Chameleons pretty common Bush Cham). That is not going to work for a Tree Chameleon.

Yeah, I didn’t realize this earlier

Veiled, male

For a adult veiled that is to small an enclosure the minimum recommended size for a adult is 24x24x48

I think most people here would say as large as you can afford, but no less than 24 x 24 x 48H.

You're going to need more height for the species (arboreal), to accommodate many species of centerpiece plants, and to account for the height you'll lose from having the bottom 8" or so filled with dirt.

I agree with CrisBruns above:
