Waterproofing a chameleon enclosure

Putting a drain in a chameleon enclosure is one thing, but will the whole thing hold water? I put my new Custom Reptile Habitats Arboreal L enclosure to the test!
We also meet a viewer's panther and carpet chameleons and then we do a fecal test where you tell me what you see!

I liked that you explained the closed system vs open system of drainage in this video. I've heard you talk about having a drain at the bottom of the enclosure before, but always thought in other situations I've only heard of a drainage layer at the bottom of the enclosure. Now I know they are two different approaches, and understand the rationale for having a drain built into the enclosure.

Great video Bill! Drainage is one of the most overlooked aspects of chameleon keeping for a new keeper

[@ChameleonAcademy]

I think so too!

Did you 3d print the stand for the pail?

[@ChameleonAcademy]

I did not 3D print that stand, but have printed stands before and you could definitely print one for a bucket!
