I live in the DC area. Sadly, my 5 1/2 year old male panther cham passed away on 12/24/24. In preparation for closing the incredible chapter of my herping adventure (I'm moving overseas in a couple years and can't undertake another Cham), I'm starting the process of selling (and giving away for free in some instances) 2 of his cages, fogger, 2 Mist Kings, and other supplies (emergency shelf stable food (canned bugs), light hoods, Tamura Designs wood branch acrylic stand, plastic buckets, and more).

The 2 enclosures:

1. Negotiable on Price - A 24 x 24 x 48 hybrid Dragon Strand, buying it would mean it comes with all the lights/fixtures, hand mister, branches, Mist King, bucket, cables, 2 Wyze cameras, etc.
2. Negotiable on Price - Tamura Designs (the wizardry and genius of Dale Tamura) 30 x 30 x 50 enclosure, that is stunning and was a custom build. Bought for $4,444 originally (and worth every penny) - I am very flexible on price for this. Comes with all lights/fixtures, 2 built in fans, has a ran drop feature (rain dome) separate from auto mister with a water line hookup adapter (SOLENOID valve) since I have it directly connected to a water line in my home, computer system to automate all functions, acrylic water catch basin for runoff with an overflow alarm, Mist King, branches, 2 Wyze cameras, cables, etc. - attaching a schematic of it. I also had a custom walnut and ceasar stone cabinet made (also in schematic) when we renovated our home (cost was around $3,500 for it), it has locking wheels and was used to place the enclosure on top of it has a hole in the middle so the run off from the cage goes into the catch basin in the cabinet). Shipping this would cost quite a lot I imagine, somewhere around $500 is my best guess.

If you want to see the various cages, they're on Cosmo's Instagram (with the Tamura Designs one being the most recently used/added one): https://www.instagram.com/cosmokramerthechameleon/

Hello! Just saw your message right now. I am so sorry to hear your cham isn't doing well. They really do become like a member of your family. 🥺 As for the cage it would depend on the shipping. Those cages are amazing and I would love to get my hands on one and Louie's little mitts would probably too.
 
Thank you for your kind words :) hoping for the best for preparing for the worst. Which cage are you most interested in? Thanks and happy holidays!
 
Send me your offer (I'm pretty flexible), but note the shipping is probably around $200 (send me your zip code and I can see how much the freight would cost). Thanks!
 
I'm in Spanaway, WA 98387. I am secretly dreading the true price.🫣:LOL: Are you selling items by themselves? I've been wanting to buy a Mist King and am looking to upgrade/add some items to my cage setup. Thank you again btw!🦎

If you're not in a rush, I can ship this in early July (it was Cosmo's setup at our place in Maine), I live full time in DC, so won't be up there until then, and would basically sell everything in the DragonStrand hybrid cage (including a mistking, other items) at a pretty low amount like $100 total + plus you would need to cover shipping
 
Oof I just used some freight shipping quote makers online, it's coming in around $800 for the shipping, in which case I would just give you everything for free if you cover the shipping - but I realize that is a lot of money! Let me know if you can find a cheaper freight services, my zip code is 04538, I think it'd weigh about 30 lbs.
 
Oof, I hear you! Are you planning to sell everything in the Dragon Strand together, or as individual items? I was looking at the photos of the cage, and I think it would actually fit better on my stand since I have the same size. I made the mistake of buying a Reptizoo hybrid cage, and it doesn't have a drainage setup – it's a real hassle. 🤦‍♀️

Ideally all of the items go together
 
Could you please let me know if the Dragon Strand cage has similar weight? I'm trying to estimate shipping costs, and your previous advice was spot on 🤯. Ideally, I'd purchase a cage and the included accessories but am not sure if my budget would allow it.

I'm am definitely interested in the items you are selling without the cages like the fogger, Mist King, Wyze cameras, and any other included accessories.
Please let me know what all that includes. Maybe that shipping won't be $800 🤦‍♀️.
Have a great day!
