My new Cham cage
This is the cage i made for a panther chameleon i will be getting in the near future. It is 4' tall, 3' wide, and 2' deep. I used a screen called "The Petscreen" for the windows. It is a strong screen designed to hold up against dogs runnign through screen doors. I used it because it isn't metal that will hurt my cham's toes/nails, but is still cricket proof. For the top windows, i used an aluminum screen because i wanted to sit my heat lamp directly on it. The bottom is also screen, this allows the water to drain through right into a rubbermaid tray which catches it all. I used 3/4" square dowels for beams to run across the bottom of the cage so i would have the strenght to hold up heavy plants. The walls are made out of 5/8" thick melamine. The base is made of a 2x12., THe base and the beams are painted with an outdoor paint so they can resist all the humidity and water. It isn't fully filled yet, all i have in there is a ficus tree i got at Rona for $5. So what do you all think?
