I'm no expert, but I'd say more branches, vines, and some more plants

Can any one verify is she is a she from these pics as well??? Thanks

Definitely female. Pothos is good choice.. Nice vining plant that grows well in low light. The leaves hold water well too. She is a nice looking girl.

Thanks for the comment!!! An would I be able to purchase one from my local nursery??? An thanks cant wait till she gets bigger!!! Bit worried bout getting egg bound tho

Your new baby is adorable!

The thing about covering the heat light is really important. A chameleon can shoot its tongue really far! I have my heat lamp on the outside of the cage (it has a screen ceiling). I was worried that he might climb on top of the cage and get burnt while free ranging (his free range is right next to his screen cage) so I put a small office garbage can over the top so he wouldn't. Weird solution, but it works! Maybe it's totally put of reach; it's so hard to tell in pictures!

Have fun with your little cutie!

Thanks for ya concern an I cant see that she'll be able to get to it but ill see if I can buy one for peace of mind any way!!! An I might have to have a look in to free ranging sounds nicer for ya chameleon!!!!

Hi,
Put branches higher, so she can get some UVB, because the rays don't go very far And more plants! She will feel much safer when she's able to hide from you

Agree with the posters above. More plants and horizontal branches towards the top. Think sort of "zig-zag" pattern, that will allow her to move up and down easily in order to thermo-regulate.

Also, welcome!

Go to a local homebase and get an umbrella and ficus plant. Pothos is also good.

Ok thanks for the advice do u know ruffly how much they are??? I looked at pothos as some one else recommended them an I only saw 1 for £90 which I thought was a bit steep lol
