1. What should the humidity be in a Chameleon Cage?

The humidity level in your chameleon's habitat should be between 65% and 80%. Track the moisture level with a hygrometer (a humidity gauge). The habitat should also include an automatic fogger, mister or drip system.

2. Why do chameleons need screen cages?

Since chameleons are arboreal, shy, tree dwellers, it is very important to provide arboreal refuges that they can hide in and feel secure. They do not seek out hide boxes like many other reptiles. They require well planted enclosures where they can hide amongst and behind foliage.

3. Do chameleons need big cages?

Choose a cage that is taller than it is wide – chameleons are arboreal creatures, so they need plenty of plants to climb on and lots of vertical space. Aim to provide a cage at least 3 feet wide by 3 feet deep by 4 feet tall – younger chameleons can be kept in smaller cages, but more space is always better.

4. How do you calm a stressed chameleon?

Providing a comfortable environment will help the chameleon to feel calm and peaceful. Large cages allow the chameleon to roam around. Fill the cage with non-toxic safe plants, such as ficus plants. Place branches and vines diagonally throughout the cage.

5. What does a chameleon need in its cage?

In general, most chameleons need very large enclosures with good fresh air circulation. Because most of them are arboreal (living in plants or trees), they need large plants to climb. Some require high humidity. Many like to be occasionally misted with water, and all need a regular source of dripping water to drink.
