Gus'sBig Boy cage

[DrRhymes]

I moved Gus to his big boy cage

 

[SaintJimmy]

wow, what a neat cage! I love it when they're so clean like that

 

[Winslow]

I like it! How'd you get the sticks to stay on the side?

 

[chameleonowner32]

If that's PVC I would take it out because they can easily slide off and break something..

Pretty sure those are PVC pipes or something. You just get a long thumbtack and stick it thru the screen, and it holds the pipe.

Very nice! Good job. I would grab a couple more vines and weave them, that would be pretty cool I think, give mr. Gus some more options. But its pretty nice the way it is!

 

[TreeTopChameleons]

In my experience chameleons seem to have a bit of a tough time gripping pvc, especially wet pvc. I would remove it and replace them with wooden dowels.

 

[chameleonowner32]

Better yet some exo terra vines or natural disinfected vines or branches. PVC builds bacteria easily.

 

[DrRhymes]

Those are wooden dowels of varying sizes from home depot, and ya I used thumbtacKs to keep the dowels in place. I'm glad you guys like it

 

[chameleonowner32]

Did you water proof it so mildo and fungus wont grow on it?

 

[chameleonowner32]

Other than that it looks nice

I'm curious. Why does pvc build bacteria naturally? Doesn't wood hold more moisture than plastic? (Unless you mean because the pvc is hollow. I can see it then.)

 

[DrRhymes]

Water proof the bottom?

 

[TroubleSome976]

Looks legit.... Fasho... And add long as he'll have no problems gripping then it's legit Fasho

 

[TroubleSome976]

Oops..as long... And it's because plastic is porous and even though woos is too out dries much quicker.. Not to mention occur is hallow

Water proof the dowels if you use them

I bet Gus is enjoying his big boy cage. It looks good Nate. You can always add more to it as you go along.

A healthy cham can fall a lot farther than the typical cage and not hurt themselves at all. Unless it has active MBD of course. Lots of foliage will give him a lot of structure to break any fall if he does happen to slip.

 

[chameleonowner32]

Personally I wouldn't risk it. I use exo terra jungle vines and umbrella plants.
