Looks really nice.

I've always been jealous of you free roamer pioneers.

With any of my chams, if I turn my back for one second, I have a chameleon somewhere where he aint supposed to be.

Just this weekend, I thought it would be safe to have the bottom of the cages open as the plastic was being washed. Wrong answer.

But anyway, good luck on your free roaming setup. Someday, will you write a how-to article for guys like me?

where does the water go? or misitng.

I dont see a drain or anything like that.

How do you keep humidity up?

Look great though. you must not have cats.

its in my study and I have a tray under the main ficus in the middle in which the water ends up .....

humidity is quite high in there anyway as I have many tarantulas in there so the temp is always up and I spray everyday and feed every day too good to see free roaming locusts and the hunt from the veiled chameleon ....... I have had it free roaming for about 7 months now.

stephen - just do it ...

I've seen that picture before. Did you post it on the old forum as well?

My questions are the same now, as they were then....

how do you prevent your cham from getting up too close to the light and getting burned.
Also, how do you mix electricity and water and a chameleon safely?
I would be worried about my chameleon using the electrical wires as his method of travel as well.

Don't take this as criticism...it's just curiosity.
