I see. It does take some time to build one. If you were closer, I'd loan you one.

thanks wish i lived closer to the cham hot spots..i wouldnt be having so much trouble finding supplies and it would be neat to meet some experienced cham owners in person...

Not sure. I haven't had mine that long so I don't know. I would have gotten the diy one if they were in stock, once my cham is an adult I'll get the diy one hopefully by that time they are in stock.

Well, what cham are you getting? If its either a male veiled or panther, rethink that.. They need a lot of space and I can tell you from experience, sometimes even the XL cages are too small.

hmm.. maybe you could free range? if i knew more about it when i got my initially i dont think i would've gotten a cage.

Then buy a wardrobe and stop working so much , and then you'll have time to take a door off, waterproof the edges, fix lights, add shelf and plants and branches, staple some mesh on..........I did it in an afternoon

i like the idea of free ranging, but i have a cat :/ and he sleeps in my room, and im pretty sure he'd eat the cham if he could get to him lol. id only free range under supervision...

LLL is pretty good.

I'm sorry, that was the earliest footage of it. I just knocked it together, played it by ear, and bodged it all really..........the wardrobe part was already built so it was real easy, but I've built a few things before (measure accurately and it gets done quicker and neater, tip for the day )
