Many pet owners have successfully kept their chameleon in a glass enclosure. However, not all glass tanks are suitable for this purpose. Glass tank enclosures can be broadly divided into two categories- aquariums and glass terrariums. Both these glass tanks may look similar, but they serve different purposes. While aquariums are basically designed for housing fish and water, glass terrariums are more suitable for keeping chameleons. A glass chameleon terrarium is usually designed for maintaining adequate airflow in the tank. A screen mesh is generally fitted at the top of the ventilation. As with any chameleon cage, keeping your pet in a glass tank requires attention to detail and consistent effort. Although the care techniques employed for maintaining the glass tank are slightly different from screen enclosures, glass terrariums are more visually appealing for your chameleons and are much easier to maintain.
