Is me enclosure OK?

[EARRNHARDT3]

Is my screened enclosure to busy, not enough plants? Its 18x18x36
I have no Chameleons yet to put in it. I am leaning toward a Jackson or a Veiled.
The auto mister and UVB light are not pictured but i have them.

The wood is wild grape vine that i cut in my dads woods that I baked in the oven @200 F for an hour to kill any bugs and ect

EDIT: I am also looking now for an 24x24x48 screen cage If any one has one for sale please contact me !

That looks great for a juvenile! Pretty much everything you need in there already! What's the plant in there?

 

[jannb]

Looks great!

 

[insert name here]

Looks like a pothos plant.

Awesome top branch filling. Looks amazing, better than my juvenile cage did for sure.

Nice looking cage! On my cages I try to keep the branches about six inches from the top of the cage. They like to get to the highest point in the cage and bask. Some times they rub the top of their heads on the screen. This is real important if you get a Veiled cham with its cascade. This also helps control the basking temps.

Hope this helps

OK Thanks guys I guess i will cut down the top branchs so there is clearance between the top of the branchs and cage.

I take it that this to small of a cage for an Adult Veiled or Jackson? How big do i need for an adult?

And yes it's a pothos plant

Yeah, definitely too small for an adult. 24x24x48 is the normal minimum size for an adult. I'm just moving my 1year old veiled into a 48x24x72 as I think he'll love the extra space?

hmmm. SO yah the pothos plant, you got it growing on that like stalk thing made outta styrene jsut keep an eye on that stuff , if you got alot of water, the rough coating they got on it could wash off.


but it should be fine for a few months.

I am a little confused? The white bottom is smooth plastic no rough coating.
The pothos is growing on a wood stake drove down into the plants pot.

Ok, its wood.

they sell those out here at home depot.. but its like a styrafoam steak coated with this sand grip stuff to make the plant grow up it .

It would be nice if you could drape or hang some of that pathos to crate an overhang for a shade area.

Kind of hard to see in the pic, but there is vines and space behide the plant for shade/ hidding area. Is that enough?

I am also looking now for an 24x24x48 screen cage If any one has one for sale please contact me !

 

[Dean Pulcini]

Yes as long as he can get away from the heat and the uvb.

I think it looks great, just make sure to sand the ends of the branches smooth so there is no possibility of a prick or scrape.
