Well, at least, I got the species in question correct.

I love your D.I.Y. I am TERRIBLE at D.I.Y. So, I could never hope to replicate your amazing work. I definitely feel it would be appropriate for the species in question. What are the temperatures and general humidity in the room, that, your specimen will be kept in?

I would say that
Chamaeleo calyptratus is the most "forgiving" chameleon species. If, you can call any Chameleon species forgiving. I would say that
Trioceros jacksonii is fairly "forgiving". Much more so then the
Furcifer pardalis that you mentioned.

Can I ask how long? To me, a long time caring for a
Furcifer pardalis would be like two weeks!!
Of course, in actuality that isn't a long period of time.

What follows is nothing but my two cents, so, take it for exactly what it is worth. I feel Chamaeleonidae are UNLIKE almost any other reptile or amphibian. They are just so easily stressed out. So, are much harder to keep, in my humble opinion.
I hope this post made sense. If, you need any further assistance regarding my convoluted post, please, let me know.
Thanks!!
