well i was board at work one day, and thinking about chameleons when i thought of a good idea. you know thos pop up hampers that they sell at department stores. i was wondering if you could make thos into cham cages.
it doesnt seem to weird. i bought a pop up explorarium thing, and it seems like you can make one of these no problem.
first you buy a pop up hamper. (like $7 at my work, and they are like 18''x36'')
remove the hamper mesh carefully. notice how the thing pops up and make a mental note of it. now my mother has lots of screen becuase she has collected lots of crap in her day, so i have some already but you can just cut a section that would fit along the outside of the hamper. im not sure if you should put the screen in the inside or the outside but either or you will have to connect the pop up hamper to it somehow. ive been thinking about it (mostly at work) and zipties, thread (which would take a long time to do), or twist ties are all i can think of. when attaching the screen make it a little bit larger on the top and bottom so you can overlap it around the wire that pops up. you would have to make a bottom piece and attach it to it the same way.
thinking about it thread might work better in some areas but will take a long time.
if you have a grandma or mother in my case who likes to soe then give it to her.
any other ideas with this? do you think it would work?
it will be cheaper then the other things by like $10 or so, but you get to DIY.
