idk if a chameleon would be a good choice if there is only going to be water under him. they cant swim. would be a great idea for a snake or water dragon. even a basalisk. used to have one its an awsome sight to see it run on water. good luck catchin that thing if it gets out though haha

Sounds cool, but youre not putting a bottom to the chameleon part? If so wouldnt all of the chameleons waste fall into the tank? Or the chameleon could fall in.

oh my bad when i say no bottom i mean no substrate because the bottom is the top of my tank , i have an acrylic tank and you know how they have the built in top and stuff so no he cant fall in the water but i forgot about there poop so i will make a mesh stand like this (sorry im still brainstorming things ) that will catch the pop that i can clean ..

ps : grey part is the tank lid so he still cant fall in the water then the black things on laegs is like a mesh stand that i cant pick up and clean the poop off of
