I have a 1 year old veiled chameleon and need to make a new cage.I was thinking on a pretty big cage, like 24" deep, 36"wideand 60" high.

For plants on the walls i'm going to use photos and spyder plants.
For the floor ones i'm going to use hibiscus and fucos plants.
Subteraine is going to be carpet.
I'll have vines and branches all over too.

Should i use a fogger and/or a watterfall?
And for lights and heat pads what should i use.

Tell me what you guys think and what i should modify

I think your dimensions are right I just think that you need to adjust what the cage is made out of.

Most Chameleon enclosures are made out of screen or wire because they need a well ventilated space. So I would adjust the front and sides to allow more air flow.

With that the ambient temps in the room will do most of the heat work. So you can probally get away with A MVB for basking heat. If your room temps are to low you can offset those with a RHP or CHE.

These are all just ideas.

>>Should i use a fogger and/or a watterfall?

Those are up to you but I don't think the enclosure needs either of them.
