Jacksons enclosure

[Bemma33]

Just finished my enclosure for Dio he seems to be loving it and exploring every inch. My only concerns is that the crickets seem to be able to hide in places he cant quite see or get to. He is also very dark most of the time but i know my temps are good. I also am looking for an easy DIY drainage system if anyone has suggestions.

Do the crickets not get out? I'm so wanting a chameleon, but I worry about it getting enough to eat.

There is a screen that covers the front. I just have it open for the picture

For drainage I used a washing machine drain pan. Pan is available at Home Depot/Lowes etc. I drilled holes in the pan and covered it with screen, securing the screen with silicone. Underneath the pan I siliconed in place a funnel attached to a hose which empties into a drainage container. I hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to ask for clarification.

The funnel is available at most autoparts stores.

So is the bottom of the enclosure just the drain tray?
