This is not a very specific question...theres tons that comes with putting together a proper enclosure. Do you mean like types of plants to put in it?

Hello! I am going to tag an
experienced Jackson's chameleon member. @JacksJill If this is your first chameleon, I'd recommend something with easier husbandry to get you started. Such as a veiled or panther chameleon. As @PoseidonTheChameleon stated, there is alot that goes into making a proper enclosure setup for your chameleon. It is very crucial that the enclosure is put together correctly.

Probably not a necessity but the dragonstrand accessory kit is amazing especially the dragonstrand ledges and drainage tray!

Hi. 
If you haven’t yet fully explored https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/ I recommend highly that you do. Also make sure to check out the species specific info https://chameleonacademy.com/the-jacksons-chameleon-trioceros-jacksonii/
All of that should outline basic care and needs and then one of our experienced Jackson’s keepers can help with any questions you may have and help you to fine tune everything.

You need to make sure you can achieve night time temps down to 60 and below with high humidity in the 80-100% range. That’s one of the hardest things with a Jackson’s Cham.
As far as what to put in your cage , start with lots of chameleon safe plants and branches. Jackson’s like heavily planted cages. I believe a misting system is essential unless you are home bound and never get sick. Good T5 lights and a 40-50 watt basking bulb are mandatory. There is lots more but those top the list.
