Hey there
I have a spare repti breeze, and besides chameleons is there anything i can keep in there? Any arboreal snakes?

Thanks
nick

P.S. im not getting a reptile to put in it just because i have it empty, im just curious as to what i can keep in there

Where do you live? Even in most parts of the world a mesh enclosure can't house a chameleon just because the ambient humidity is a lot lower most of the year. It's hard enough maintaining humidity in a heated screen top with glass sides, I know from personal experience. Just a screen top alone with a CHE and misting system misting 8 times a day couldn't maintain the humidity I was aiming for consistently. Sadly the snake passed before I got it dialed in perfect. All mesh it's impossible unless you live in a high humidity environment. Now if you you have a cage size that fits a arboreal snake that doesn't need high humidity and your ambient humidity fits their needs that's a different story. Those mesh cages are only good for chams if you live in the US south where you have high humidity otherwise for the rest of us it's just an impossible nightmare to maintain.

Alright thanks for the heads up. Didnt think it would be great in new england weather anyways.

Kind of the law of physics you can't have heat, high humidity and high ventilation. Pick 2

I kept a cham in one of those with no issues. the key was to keep the conditions suitable for it in the entire room. In a smaller room with a humidifier and warm temps theres no issues. add a misting system and its all pretty easy just keep water resovoirs topped up and add crickets good to go.
With a space heater in the room maintain high 70 low 80s is easy then a heat lamp over the top for a basking spot and youre laughing
