So I think I'm finally ready to look for and order my cham, put the final touches on and got the mistking all tested(finally no leaks lol) the past couple days...

36" Quad that Todd from Light Your Reptiles recommended
2 x 6.5K Daylight
1 x Arcadia 12%
1x Arcadia Plant Pro
120w plant light and dimmer

Top branch just below the light is approx 93°...middle big perch in the back is about 80° and that lower corner perch 75°

Doors were off while I worked on everything inside.

Mist King in action...

Nice, is that the atrium? Where did you get the fake plants to cover all the screen?

Only thing I would say is those ledges you most likely will never see your chameleon on. What was the purpose in those?

Otherwise looks good

Yes the Dragon Strand Large Atrium...The ledges just added them for different climbing areas...the fake plant sheets will hold droplets during misting too, might be able to catch a drink...Got the fake plant sheets from G&G distributors near me.
 
Very nice, way better than mine that I just finished today lol.
Was thinking of putting live miss on side too but would look ugly and dirty from outside. Gotta try find those fake plant sheet near me.

What size is that cage?

Nice! The dragon strand ledges are really awesome. I'm building a new cage and am going to copy the ledges with wood. Hope that's OK Bill. Lol. I need a divider and I like that wall of fake plants. I would love to do cork bark but it's just too expensive. I'm sure ur cham will love it
 
Looks Nice! The only thing I'd watch out for is (from the looks of the picture) that your chameleon could climb up the plant hook and get real close to the basking light. Be careful not to allow him to get too close and get burned.

Maybe the ledge could be used for feeding worms? I really love all the plants!
 
nice setup..:D What species are you planning to put in there?
I've been leaning Panther for a while now.

Good call...the plant hook is off centered to the bulb...also I have the dome sitting on 1" square tubing and thats sitting on 1/2" right angle...Should this be ok?

Looks great! I personally like the ledges and the plant sheets are a great touch. I'm in the middle of a remodeling project myself, and you've made me reconsider my choice in cork bark for the walls
 
very nice job, good setup for a panther. You can easily adjust lighting to change temps and make it suitable for any other species as well.
 
What a beautiful setup!
My male panther, about 7 months old, is still really shy. I doubt he'd have the courage to go out to those basking spots since there's no foliage to hide in while he's walking there, or to hide in once he's there. YMMV, but it might not hurt to drape some vines across those bare ledges.
 
Can I ask about your mist king? I'm in the process of ordering one and can't decide between nozzles or the rain nozzle. I see you went with the nozzles. I have nozzles right now from the monsoon mister and it works for water for my guy. Just time to upgrade as my second to last monsoon has just quit working. Also does the place you got the fake plants from have a web site? I love those. So many uses coming to mind.

For the nozzles I went with 2 dual nozzles with "T" connectors on both linking them together and then back to the zip drip module.
