Hi /an/, i'm building a 36 inch tall plywood tank with a base of 24 x 24 inches, can i keep a pair of jackson chameleons in there. Also, i read they need around 50% humidity, but there are people whining about how screen cages are better, can i just use mesh on top of the tank?
Chams require a great deal of airflow, which is why screen enclosure is the recommended for them. Also, glass is a big no-no. Chams, being fussy like they are, do not do well with glass. Seeing their own reflections freaks them out.
Don't get chameleons if you're already griping about the care requirements. They are tedious and failure to meet those tedious requirements generally = dead chameleon.

I read people that people use glass with the top or/and bottom cut out and replaced with mesh, also i red that people used small fans like with axolotls to create airflow
Chameleons need a paradoxical combination of airflow and humidity to survive.
Better air flow naturally lowers humidity so getting it right is very challenging.
You don't know the care requirements, you think you're gonna keep 2 chams in a small plywood enclosure... just don't get a chameleon.
