I don't think anyone said it was impossible, just that it's probably not the best idea unless the OP is really into chameleons. Plus, I'm pretty sure screen enclosures can't work for chameleons, as they require moderate to high humidity levels, which can't really be maintained unless the area around the enclosure has high humidity too.

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to keep chameleons in glass because they need ventilation which is why they use screen but I do recall seeing a video of a known breeder in Europe using ALL glass with all completely healthy chameleons inside.

i dont know if it was said already but chams do just fine in glass cages if you have ventilation on the bottom and top to get air flow.

I would stay away from the cham for now a good goal later but not now. A good question would be how often are you at your dads to take care of your future creature?
