How will you keep your cham on that particular shelf? When my guy is out and about, he's alllll over the place...and those shelves with the critter keepers look to be within reaching distance of the average cham.
Also, how will you keep you cham from climbing the electric wires and getting up on TOP of the lights...potentially burning himself.
The other question I have is, is that a power bar to the left of the pic? What about the water/electricity danger factor?

Now, I know all those questions sound critical...they're not meant to be...it's just curiosity...because your idea is an interesting one.
Zoe would love it!

My friend Rob has a similar setup, except about half the room is set up for his veiled. We took plastic cups, cut them in half, and used them as shields on the cords near the lights so he couldn't climb past. Another thing to consider is, if there is ANY way for him to get off that shelf, he will. Millard (Rob's Veiled) is constantly getting to other parts of the room, and we still haven't figured out exactly how! Now, we just kind of let him go where he wants, and are just very careful when we enter the room. Not the best way to do it, chameleon poop everywhere, but he's happy and healthy.

Another thing to be concerned about is the humidity in the room. We have a humidifier running in Millards room probably 75% of the time since the air here is pretty dry.
