Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information on how to chose the correct cage type for a chameleon. Screen, hybrid, or glass are simply tools and it should be a basic husbandry skill to select the correct cage type for your environment. It is unfortunate that we have such resistance to intelligent cage type selection in the chameleon community. I can only hope that the next generation of chameleon keepers and "experts" can start beyond the old tired myth that chameleons should always be in a screen enclosure. We have been working for over 20 years to try and stamp that out! Thank you for your help in setting the community free from this myth!

Thank you! After making this video I realized I had completely forgotten to mention hybrid cages, so thank you for bringing those up! Hybrids can also be fantastic options.

I hope snake discovery invited you to the 'build off' I feel like you need recognition for your enclosures!

I started off a screen enclosure but I couldn’t hold on heat or humidity with it even side’s plastic off so I went to a glass enclosure and so far so good

love what you said about screen. vs. glass for chameleons. I use to keep my veiled chameleon in a screen enclosure, but I also really struggled with dehydration. Currently, I don't keep chameleons, but considering to in the future and will look more into using a glass enclosure!

Love your videos, they inspired me to get a leopard gecko and he is doing awesome! We love him so much, thank you for introducing me to such wonderful animals ❤️

I didn’t know this was about cat geckos I was looking for info on the chameleon enclosures. Maybe next time keep it on track and get right into the chameleon info and save the cat gecko for another video or the end of the video. Thanks for the info it was good to hear your view on glass

Just skip over the part where she talks about the geckos. The majority of the vid has tons of great info on chameleons and glass enclosures

Can you share how you set up all kind of the light that’s need for this bioactive enclosure and the chameleon?

awesome congrats.

I live in Las Vegas Nevada what do you recommend I use ?

The drainage lair, does it just constantly absorb excess water? Does it drain anywhere?

I never got a Chameleon because of the screen enclosure. The Kat geckos are so cute.

Okay. I got one. I live in Houston, Texas. It is humid OUTSIDE, year round. BUT!!! At best, the humidity INSIDE my house gets as high as 40% (we also keep the temperature between 70 and 74 during the day, 68 or 69 at night because otherwise we all feel uncomfortable when sleeping). So, for a panther chameleon in a house under these conditions... screen or cage?

Did you plant your plants in the substrate?

love the video!! im looking to adopt a bearded dragon any tips?
