See if you can find an old stereo stand or bookcase. Something along those lines.

Jdog has a instructional video on youtube. Cost is about $70. You can buy a similar one from LLL at about the same cost.

What is your budget? How old is your Chameleon?

I found this at a local thrift shop. They wanted $55 and I haggled them down to $30!

I've seen nice cages on Craigslist that could work for me! Check ur local listings!

you can always buy from diy cages.

You can get a mesh 29" x 29" x 72" for $94

A aluminum 24 x 24 x 48" for $90

If you are looking to go bigger, you will probably need to build your own.

I want to make a big one and not have to pay for shipping. The stores around here only sell 24x24x48 that i can find and are exspensive. I check craigslist everyweek and cant find any cham cages, very rarely does anyone even have 16x16x24 cage! I'm watching jdog's videos right now and am probley gonna go that route if it cheapish. It's just going to be a cage for him to go in during the day, because he likes the outside so much.

I made my outdoor cage out of PVC pipe and mesh for about $50 total. It was real easy to build....it had to be if I made it!

 

[eeekroar]

The aluminum 24 x 24 x 48" is 90 shipped.

You can go the window screen/frame method. Or you could build one with wood, and screen.Would also be more stable considering you don't have to set it on top of something like the others.

How do you make a door with that?

I used zip ties for hinges and that worked good for me. I just made one whole side into a door. I'll see if I can find a pic of it. It's nasty cold here in KC so I'm not using it right now.

go to a thrift store find somthing good sized like a tv cabinet or somthing.
modify like cutting the sides out and adding screen and a screened door
and if not already sealed water seal it

Thanks for the all the help guys. KCcham - a picture would be greatly appreciated!
