Great suggestions! Another thing to think about is what you have planted in the greenhouse. There are quite a few plants that are toxic to chameleons... and most chameleons will consume some plant matter. I'm sure you probably know that already, but I figured I'd reinforce it .



Something else I thought of... Chameleons are masters of camouflage... They may be VERY hard to spot in such a large enclosure, depending on what species you choose.



Another thing to consider is that with such a large enclosure it may be difficult for them to find food. But you can always Cup-Feed them.



And I agree, 40 is a little cold. A few species can survive into the low 60's and maybe even upper 50's... But if your greenhouse gets into the upper 90's/low 100's, then you're going to want a more tropical species of cham... which will need higher temps at night and during the winter.



All in all, I think your biggest problem is going to be getting plastic or glass that will allow U.V. Rays to pass through it. They need this in order to prevent Metabolic Bone Disease... Again, you may know this, but I'm not sure.



Good luck! If you do it right, you should have some very happy chameleons who will want absolutely nothing to do with you! lol
