Begginings of a new enclosure
I have started building my other salt water tank into an enclosure for a small Chameleon or two. I still have to add some grape branches and vines for their climbing needs. The tank is a 36 gal Bow Front. I will post another update when finished and its new occupants are home. We try to find rescue animals so don't know when or if it will even be a Chameleon tank. However I have a 40 gal hex and a stereo cabinet I am going to turn into a double enclosure on reserve for further homes for hard to place rescues.

Re: Begginings of a new enclosure
Do you say that it is for a Chameleon! 
Chameleons should have a mesh/screen type of enclosure! They are easily stressed and need a lot of branches and greenery for hiding.

Re: Begginings of a new enclosure
LOVE that tank! That must have put you back a few bucks LOL The entire atmosphere is great as well. Good luck with your further "building" of it.

I have heard and seen people who have owned chameleons for a long time using tanks similar to the one featured here with no problem. Mesh may be best, but it isn't the ONLY thing either. Just saying...

Re: Begginings of a new enclosure
A friend has a chameleon in a unique enclosure, it looks like a tree growing out of a large bowl, the idea behind it is the chameleon can climb wherever he wants, but if he climbs down he cant get out of the bowl because of the angle. Temp and humidity are maintained by keeping the chameleon in the reptile room.
All it takes is creativity and some people can come up with some amazing looking places for their reptiles to spend their lives.

Re: Begginings of a new enclosure
As I said I would like to put a chamelion in it however it will eventually house the first rescue that needs a good permamnent home. Yes I am aware that a chamelion will need much more greenery, vines and branches for hiding and climbing and if it does house a chamelion it will get it. Remember this is an enclosure in the making.

That right there is an awesome picture in my mind. Wish I had a home that could support something like this. Just plain cool. Kudos to that friend for thinking, quite literally, outside the box with his pet.

I have always wanted one of those corner bow fronts (Shaped like a piece of pie)

Re: Begginings of a new enclosure
Actually it is a normal Bow front So 4 sides actually. I guess the way I took the pics though it might look like a corner version. If I had a corner that wasn't already full I just might have one.
