I've been telling myself for the past couple of months that I would go get some lumber and finally build the boys their outdoor enclosures.
BUT THEN a wonderful idea came to mind, "Why build one for triple the expense when I can just buy two already made for only $10 each!?"
So that is exactly what I did. The other day Chels and I went to Ikea and bought their fold-up laundry baskets. They are only $8.99 and SO PERFECT for the boys.
I bought 8 foot floral vines from a craft store for an addition $10 each and then twist-tied them to make a zig-zag climbing area within the baskets.
To really top it off, they even fold up with the floral still twist-tied on. So once I am done with them I merely slip them under my bed until next time! Way better then having two 2x2x4 enclosures sitting in the backyard
As you can tell, I am ridiculous stoked about the idea, and so were my chameleons, here are some photos:
Of course Gizmo chooses to bask on the ground...
All done!
