I have read several care sheets, but have some questions.
So I got this 60"x20"x21" display case given to me.
There is no glass on top, and there is a crack in the front glass. I would like to turn it into an enclosure, but not sure if it would suitable for a chameleon. I want to remove the base, turn it around, remove the silver from the sliding mirrors on the back, making them clear glass(then in front), use a screen top, replace the cracked glass(then in back) with plywood, and add a 48" T8 UVB bulb.
IF NOT, I could fix it up and sell it to fund a more conventional enclosure. In a 48"x36"x24" enclosure, would it be better to have a 24" uvb bulb up top, or a 36" running vertical?
Also, would either enclosure be too big for a baby veiled? Start it off in a big enclosure, or keep it in a 10 or 20 gal until a certain size?
Thanks!
