Sunday is the day!

I'm building a new chameleon enclosure!

The Final Dimensions on the inside are:

5 feet long
2 feet wide
6 feet tall
Fine aluminum screening on sides and top
1 foot deep soil

Twin Uva/Uvb Light strips (48")
Heat lighting
Dracaena plants, Rubber Ficus, Ficus, Bromeliads, Codiaeum, Hanging Pothos plants, maybe some other if i get good suggestions.

10 gallon in-ground pond with a powerhead that will bring water to the top of the cage, forming either a stream throughout the enclosure or a waterfall.

Fogging system

And last but not least a beautiful female Veil!

What does everyone think!

Sounds like it will be beautiful! I can't wait to see progression photos of it as you build.

I would like the mention that maybe you might like to reconsider the waterfall and pond... although it might look beautiful it can harbor bacteria.

Hmmm... That is a good point.. Hmm... would there be any way around the potential bacteria. In your opinion, what would be the cause of the bacteria. I've done fishtanks for years and using my background in developing tanks, i figured i could use that to keep up humidity.

You would need a very good filter on it. They tend to poop in ponds

the bacteria comes from generally sitting water even if water is being pumped it can still harbor bacteria if its not being filtered or replaced. Also I have heard that someone made a water fall in a chams cage and it drowned from getting to close and getting its head stuck. but........it would look really cool

i was thinking of using a 55 gallon for it. haha
