One little tip / advice, assuming those are life plants, maybe invest one day in a plants light. It keeps plants better alive and gives more light in the enclosure. The rest looks pretty good so far , you´re doing great job.

And if you´re going for safe, fill-out the following form and members will review your husbandry and eventually give some tips and tools, maybe regarding supplementation.

Copy and paste the below form into your reply. Fill it out with as much detail as possible and attach pictures of your entire enclosure including the lights on top and of your chameleon.

Thanks sonny! I have been reading about the plant lights and saw a few online. They are pretty expensive in my opinion. But i will consider because i want my pothos to grow like a freaking jungle!

I know, however in principal you can use anything from 6000K (brightness), it will give the same result. The reptile brand lights are indeed pretty expensive.

You got some recommendations?

Unfortunately I don´t. I know many here are using Sansi and I´m Arcadia. I believe Osram and Philips makes 6500K daylight led tubes.

These are excellent, and rated & warrantied for 5 yrs. I have 2 over my double-wide enclosure.
The plants love it.
You can also get coupons.

I like the interior frame!
