chameleon in a paludarium?

[knives]

just had a quick question weather or not a chameleon can go in a paludarium i have seen a few photos online but from what i understand of chameleons most don't handle the humidity levels that a paludarium would have to well any input would be great. and if i did do it i would have alot of branches above the water for it to climb on.

Don't chams need high humidity but lots of ventilation? I'm no expert, I've never kept any, but that's what I've always read.

chams are better on a paludarium than in your typical glass box type palu... but even then any humidity needed is hard to supply.

you can do a palu for them but you must take precaution to meet every one of their needs to a "T". how much do you know about them yet and what's your exotic animal experience. you gotta be a pro living in a very peaceful place for chams basically.

I would't do it...

what species of cham? some do better then others in all glass encosures, and even with the more fragile species it is easier to maintain the climate in a glass enclosure then a screen or similar type setup but you would need to provide a meens of external ventilation (PC cooling fans etc.). I have no idea what your setup/layout would be but I do know chams arent good swimmers lol
