I just started the frame of my cage, and I was thinking since I will be misting, should I use wood or plastic for the back instead of screen?
I was thinking of using screen, then placing a plastic liner behind the enclosure against the wall so the water can drip down and collect at the...
Thanks for the tips, I might look for something like that for the cuts.
I was not sure if the long screws would split the wood, but I will give it a shot this weekend.
I am building my enclosure out of 2x2 wood posts, what would be the best way to connect the pieces?
My plan is to use L-Brackets (pic) to connect all the corners, would these work alright?
I assume I would need to drill pilot holes before putting the screws in, right? How do I figure out...

I took more time on the design, and now I am just working on the measurements. The wood I found is actually 1.5x1.5 not 2x2, since it shrunk after drying.
I am going to use pvc board for the bottom and drill 1/4" holes in the bottom at the center for drainage, and just place a funnel and...

You need to figure out something for drainage, at least place a tub to catch the water from a dripper.
I thought this would work too, I even had a small fan blowing air into the enclosure 24/7 and that was not enough to prevent respitory problems, plus the glass makes it harder to keep him healthy, my 2 month old cham passes after only a month.
I was wondering if after so many months if its a good idea to change around the enclosure? Would this give the cham the feeling of a new enclosure or just stress him out?
I was thinking of possibly moving the basking spot to the other side of the enclosure in the winter or something and like...
