Hi I make these cages from Rubbermaid containers. The main ideas are drainage, moisture retention and maximum climbing and basking surface area. There are important features to keeps your chameleons clean, prevent babies from climbing on their siblings' faces, reduce competition for heat, light and food and make it easier for you to clean. Here is a step by step guide:
(If you use this guide please credit me by providing a link to this page and provide me with a url where you have used it)
Use a jigsaw to cut out the top and bottom and a glue gun to attach fine black screen to keep chameleons and Drosophila hydei inside or wider silver screen to let in more UV (But all FF will get out so mostly for older chams)
