My sister was misinformed and got this kit, not fault of the workers it’s ours for not doing proper research, and it’s completely useless for a chameleon the more we look into it. Everything in that kit? We don’t even use, not even the cage is proper size for a chameleon. Save your money and buy it individually!

Good starter kit, was kind of hard to put together. chameleon loves it ( his names yoda) will eventually upgrade to a better home for yoda

The enclosure is all screen, chameleons can't survive in this unless your home is hot and humid like a rainforest. I was incredibly disappointed and frustrated when I got home with a juvenile chameleon and set this up just to discover I needed to scramble to put something different together for her asap. Chameleons need heat and humidity, there is no way to maintain either of those with this enclosure. Severely disappointed.

I bought Chameleon Zoo Med Reptiles Cage Chameleon

this habbitat shows that it is for a chameleon however the product is terrible. The open screen makes it impossible to keep the humidity level up. we learned this the hard way and we lost our chameleon in 3 weeks.

Ok. So my hubby bought this for my chameleon. To be honest, it's terrible! The bottom is unsecured, for one. For two, I'm personally against using fully screened enclosures because this thing is nearly impossible to keep the humidity and temperatures regulated!

Please trust me on this and don’t get the chameleon kit. It will kill your chameleon. I’m not being dramatic here just listen. The UVB is wrong and won’t penetrate enough into the cage and will lead to your chameleon being deficient in calcium cause if metabolic bone disease, which is kind of like osteoporosis in humans. You will need the T5HO linear UVB light. It might be expensive, but trust me it is the difference between life and death with your chameleon. Next, the cage is too small. You need a 2’ x 2’ x 4’ tall screen cage. Zoo Med XL Reptibreeze is good. Next you need to take out the reptile carpet and leave a bare bottom. No substrate. You also need to either get a misting system or a manual spray bottle. Use this twice a day. 30 minutes before lights go off and 30 minutes after lights go on. You will also need a drainage system in the bottom for excess water. I recommend the Mistking starter system for misting. Next, live plants. What comes in the kit will not do. You need to fill the whole cage up with live plants. If you put in fake plants, and the chameleon eats them (veiled chameleons are known for this) it can cause a health issue called impaction and this is when a chameleon cannot fully digest what it has eaten and dies. You also can buy these cool ledges called dragon ledges at dragonstrand.com that help you attach plants to the side. You also need a hygrometer to measure humidity and preferably don’t get a chameleon from PetSmart as they are frequently sold sick or too young. Instead, get from a reputable breeder, such as FramsChams as they actually know how to take care of chameleons. Next, live bugs. You must feed them live bugs. They will not eat dead ones. You need to dust them lightly with calcium powder every feeding and multivitamin on the 1st and 15th of each month. Properly but loaded insects is also a necessity. All of this stuff may be expensive, but if you are going to get a chameleon this is what you need. If it’s too much money for you to spend, DON’T GET A CHAMELEON. Please listen to what I have said here. It could be the difference between life and death of your chameleon. Neptunethechameleon.com and chameleonacademy.com are great resources if you need to do more research. Last thing, do you research. These animals take a lot of work to setup, but after that they aren’t too hard to take care of. If you do your research and learn about how to take care of them and what you need, I promise you you’re chameleon will live a long life. If not, if you only use what comes in this kit, I can almost guarantee that it won’t make it to a year.
