Your response was very helpful!

I still rely on the baby dogwood outside my house to give him an hour of real sunlight on most days. (We keep it trimmed so it doesn't touch the house, and we supervise him while he's in it).

If you haven't already posted here about how you make your cages, perhaps you could give me a summary of the kinds of materials you rely on.

I'm afraid of using many things from the hardware store - some of the screens aren't meant for animals and some of the woods are treated with strange chemicals.

If you see this post, feel free to just provide a short list of the things you use.

I have given up on the MVBs because I don't think they're necessary.

My chameleon would be happier in a cage that's about 2x2 at the base and 3 or 4 feet high. I'll adjust the lighting accordingly.

His 3 year b-day is coming up so that's a good time to give him a new enclosure.

Thanks!
