Looks good mate, just have to put some stout branches in there to get the little chap up near the basking site until your plants have grown, maybe you could attach some silk plants or the like up high to give it some cover and security. Lots of ventilation. Is the cham a youngster? have you got any photos of him/her Very Happy

Are there any extra climbing branches going in? As right now they have no chance to get up to the light near the top and you are wasting half of the height Confused

Also where abouts is the UV coming from? If it is from a tube up at the top then you really do need to sort something out for them to be able to climb up there.

What is going to happen to all of the water from mistings and/or a dripper?

Yes i see them both now? Laughing

Any way i have to agree with Phil above, these are all very valid points and your chams will start to go down hill fast with out them Smile

Aiden, why didnt u leave them in the exo until u got it all sorted out?
It will stress them keep moving them from one viv to the next.

You seem to be in too much of a rush to get ur cresties, just
concentrate on setting up these before u start with anything else.

Have you sealed the tank so that it does not rot from the water?

You really need to get some vines in there as when they are young
they grow fast and need UV to help develop there bones.

Also they have no spot light to thermoregulate.
