Yeah, I think I am going to use screen on the bottom and just use a big tub underneath.

I just need something that will catch the water into a pan or tub, mainly for my dripper. I was thinking of using screen that is reinforced by wood underneath, and just place a large tub underneath the cage.

I found the soft trays but I would have to alter the dimensions of my design to use one of these... which I may do. The picture is vague, what exactly are they? Plastic or what?

Where would I find a big tub to collect the water? I was thinking like one of those cheap oven pans, the ones that are shiny? But I do not think that will be big enough.

I have decided to sort of re-do my design, instead of the door opening to the side, it will have open from the top down, this way the door can hang open and basically fold in half. This design also allows me to use more screen, which is always good. For the door I am using plexiglass, but the...

I am working on a new cage design, and I am not sure what to use for the bottom? I am reinforcing the bottom with extra beams to support plants, but what should I use for the actual bottom? Also, for drainage I was just going to buy a cheap drain cover and cut a hole for it, would this...

I am making the front of the enclosure plexiglass, the sides and top will be vented, so I am not too worried about visibility of the screen I just need something that will hold. I am going to Lowes today, thanks guys. EDIT - Would this work...

I plan on painting the frame black or dark green, how long after I paint it before I can put the cham in the cage? Also, do I need to use a special paint or coating or anything or is just cheap latex paint alright?

Thanks for the tips guys, I am just going to check another HD or two until I find something. 36" X 100' would work, but I would have a load of excess screen. So should I just staple the screen to the wood or what's the best way to prevent crickets escaping? I am using a feeder at the top for...

Can crickets eat through the screen? How much was the screen?

What section? Like near the fabrics or what?

Yes, I forgot to post about the drainage. I plan on having a small drain in the middle at the bottom, with a tub underneath on the shelf to collect the water, which I will empty daily, and the excess water will just be wiped up daily with a paper towel. I am going to reinforce the bottom with...

I was messing around in paint, and I decided to come up with a basic design for my next enclosure I plan to build. I threw together some dimensions, which look right to me but what do you guys think? The grayed out area at the bottom around the cage is either doing to be plastic or the mesh...

I went to HD, they only had big rolls of fiberglass screen for $150 a roll. Lowes had nothing but window screen, would that work? The visibility looks crappy though, but I am making the front out of clear plexiglass with air holes for better visibility, so the dies do not really matter.

I went to several hardware stores today, and had no luck find a decent metal screen for my enclosure. Any suggestions?

My enclosure is going to be about 32 inches off the ground, standing 6' tall, so I am just hoping he will ignore it. Just to be safe I think I am going to use a plastic or metal mesh for the sides? Also, so I don't need to make another thread, if I have the sides and back mesh, would it...

Do any of you cham owners have cats? I just bought a kitten, and I am going to be setting up my cham cage around Christmas. Should I use PVC coated mesh, since the cat cannot break through, or can I get away with a basic enclosure from lllreptile?

I found 8' 2x2's for about $3 a piece, is that a good price?

I am getting a veiled again soon, and I have a few questions about the enclosure I plan to build. What would be the best way to "cat proof" an enclosure? I am worried that the mesh is too thin, and my cat will somehow manage to get inside my chameleon enclosure when I am not home? My idea is...

Alrighty, I am going to probably getting a new cham here in the next month or so, so I am going to start setting up the enclosure now. I am still not sure, should I build a enclosure or just buy one? Also, does water getting on the digital temp guages make a difference in temp? When I used to...
