Lucky me!

I actually found the best price for a 24 x 24 x 48 on amazon, not eBay, especially as I have prime so don't have to pay for shipping on most things. Had to pay to ship the bottom tray, but not the main screen enclosure--yay!

A friend of mine took 4 old wooden screen house doors and hooked them together to make a tall phone booth style box. Add a bottom and a top and you have a great set up.... I think he built his for $50 using recycled doors that he found for free

my chams were in a 5.5x3x2.5 foot enclosure, with screen sides, that my dad and i built. the cage is sitting empty now, but it was a really great cham cage at the time; sturdy enough to add lots of climbing dowels and vines, and tall enough that we had a whole ficus tree and umbrella in there; as well as a hanging pothos plant. If i could change anything i would have had 2 of the walls be plexiglass instead, as humidity was a problem. Best of luck, and dont discount maybe building your own!!

Also, i wouldnt necessarily put substrate in, as you dont want to encourage your female to lay eggs. Unless you need it to bump humidity, i found that dirt/substrate just gave the crix etc more places to hide.
