What kind of bedding do chameleons need?

Chameleons don't necessarily need bedding — as an arboreal species, they spend most of their time higher up in the habitat and very little near the floor. Because of this and the high moisture from misting and fogging, many chameleon keepers prefer a bare floor, washable liner, or draining terrarium substrate for hygiene and easy cleaning.

What substrate should I use for a chameleon?

You should use a substrate that's safe and easy to maintain for your chameleon. A simple terrarium liner can be a great choice for your reptile habitat, or choose a coconut coir substrate or bioactive soil for a natural look. Your vet can give you guidance on what substrates are safe — or potentially hazardous — for your pet.

What do you put at the bottom of a chameleon cage?

You can put a liner or chameleon-safe bedding at the bottom of a chameleon cage, or leave the floor bare for easy cleaning. Some people like to put paper towels down for fast cleanup, while others get more advanced with bioactive soil and an assortment of live plants. Talk to a reptile expert or your vet for tailored guidance.
