Question
Hi there, Iv had many conflicting ideas on best home for a chameleon, what would you recommed for an adult Yemen? As some prople say that they MUST not have any glass in the tank. And some say they can! As in England they sell a VIVEXOTIC AX36 CHAMELEON VIVARIUM (one in pic) But I wanted to get expert advise on best way. My male is about 5months old, so not there yet.
Many thanks for you valuable time

Answer
Hi Gary
I have never kept Chameleons but from everything that I have read-ventilation of their enclosures is very important

I have also seen them kept in both screen only enclosures and enclosures with 2 glass and two screen sides

I would think that either would be OK to house them in as long as there is sufficient ventilation in the enclosure

I am sorry but there was no link or pic that showed up in this email with your question so I can't tell you whether that would be a good home for your Cham or not

You want height and ventilation in an enclosure and room for lots of vines and branches

I wish that I could be of more help
Here is a link that I found that might help with some of your questions
