Can I ask what first hand/practical experience do you have with Chamaeleonidae as a whole? Can you please list the species for me? Thanks in advance.

I am most definitely NOT sure, that, I would say/feel that I am VERY confident in Chamaeleonidae husbandry. I do however have experience with
Trioceros jacksonii, which, I believe from the title of the post, is, the species you are interested in. If I am incorrect, I am sorry and please let me know.

The size sounds adequate for a
Trioceros jacksonii. Again, assuming, that is the species you are interested in.

Is this an enclosure you made or one you purchased? The reason I am asking, is, I can not envision an enclosure like that. So, I would find it highly beneficial to see said enclosure.
My gut reaction, without seeing a picture, is, that for
Trioceros jacksonii it might be acceptable. I have kept them in both open air (mesh type) and tall front opening vivariums. It also depends on the temperatures and humidity of the external environment that your Chamaeleonidae will be kept in. I.E.: the temperatures and humidity of your house, will, GREATLY influence the way you keep your Chameleons and the enclosure type(s) you use.

Now, I am thinking you don't mean a
Trioceros jacksonii. In that case, it would depend on the enclosure and the species you are actually interested in.

The biggest problems with Chamaeleonidae as a whole is STRESS!! I would NOT recommend doing that with any Chameleon.

I am NOT sure, if, I gave you any answers. But, I tried.
On a serious note, please, let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
