Jackson’s Chameleon Outdoor Enclosure

[Kevinith]

I am making an outdoor enclosure that is 4’H x 4’L x 2’D + the 10 inch planter at the bottom for a Jackson’s chameleon and I just want any opinions on it to see if I should change anything, I have all the plants set up to grow with a misting system that goes off twice a day and I’m gonna get dragon ledges for branches, a feeder cup 2 feet off the floor, and a thermometer and hydrometer.
The pictures show the enclosure getting the most sun I saw throughout the day hitting it for the 3 hours it gets and it’s misting system.

Love it it looks great! Can’t wait to see it with the branches and lucky resident. Oh btw make sure your area doesn’t get rats if you’re overnighting your chameleon outdoors. I read a thread about a chameleon that died from rat bite injuries. The rat bit thru the screen and chewed the tail and feet

Looks good you will still wan't to ad horizontal basking branches throughout. They like hang out on the leafless branches to bask.

I have only seen 3 small mice the 6 years I have lived here and everytime I see them they die from the rat poison traps in the next day or two.

Here’s the final result, I didn’t get dragon ledges because I found another way to securely put down the branches

It looks really good I think a tall plant on the left side would be nice too.

This so cool. Smart to use a planter box. I Will def keep that in mind when I build my outdoor setup.

Looking definitely really good, a shame I can´t use such enclosure where I live, one due weather and second too many cats and squirls in our garden.
