I'm going to be a first-time owner of an ambilobe panther soon, so I am in the process of making his home perfect. I was over at Ultimate Reptiles (wonderful store with the coolest reptiles) looking for a cham, and when talking to the owner about what size habitat I should get he stressed that NEEDED a glass enclosure. Although I know most everyone has a full mesh enclosure, he explained that because the area we live in (south texas) a mesh enclosure would be a death sentence because we ALWAYS have the air on (its hot okay ) and that would dry out the cage very quickly. Not that I am doubting his input, all his chams were beautiful and thriving in there glass enclosures, but I'm a stickler for getting more than one opinion. Is there anyone in Texas or a similar area that give me tips on the best habitat for my region? Suggestions on glass enclosures? Thanks! (sorry for the length and if there was a similar thread to this one)

I live in Austin and use screen cages. I block one side of the screen cage with corrugated plastic to provide a visual barrier but otherwise, just have a misting system go off 4 times a day, for about 3 minutes at a time. I haven't had any issues with stuck shed or dehydration.

Drainage is easier in a screen cage which means you can mist for much longer since you don't have to worry about a glass cage fill up with water.
