Monty's Penthouse Suite!

[Miss Lily]

Today I finally put the finishing touches to Monty's 'big boy' screen cage and he was able to move in! The cage was made by ChameleonworldMuji and is 18 x 18 x 36". I am really impressed with the quality of these cages! It is so much better than the Reptibreeze cages - the bit I like best is the fact that the base screws on rather than resting loose in the bottom of the frame which was a recipe for disaster when moving it around. Anyhow, here are some photos that I took today!

Monty IS a big boy now.

I love jacksons and he is one lucky boy to have that nice cage!
Well Done!

Really nice job! Monty tested... Monty approved! I don't think I would change a thing! Great work, and the cage looks real sturdy!!!

Nice...where did you get the netting from?

 

[Miss Lily]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

It came from a local garden centre. Its really useful to attach branches and vines to without damaging the screen of the cage!

Yes, that netting is GREAT.
And I just saw the green foam twistie tie stuff here in the States at Wal Mart yesterday.

 

[Miss Lily]

The foam twisty stuff is brilliant! It can double as vines for baby chams - both Monty and now Zippy have had vines made of it! It's easy to grip for tiny little chambaby feets!

Nice new penthouse for Monty, glad he approves of it .

 

[MollyT]

Wow! Looks like he got the presidential suite! You can almost see the smile on Monty's face in that last pic! He is such a cutie!

What exactly is that green twisty tie stuff and where would I find it in wal-mart? I have GOT to get some!

 

[Miss Lily]

I'm in the UK so I have no idea where you would find it. I found mine in a garden centre.

 

[mrfixit01]

You have put a lot of thought into this project. I am totally impressed. Love the netting and the foam twists. Great job!!!

Thanks for the pictures, they look great and have inspired a few ideas for when I re-vamp our cage next!

 

[SouthCaliChameleon]

WOW! very nice.... I'm thinking of a cage upgrade for Greengo, i need one that dose'nt have a glass bottom.

If anyone here in the States knows where we can get that netting, don't hesitate to let me know... I'd love to have some! That is awesome!

 

[absolutbill]

The cage looks awesome for Monty and I agree - that cargo netting is an incredible idea! I usually use zip ties and run them through the holes in the screen so that it's not damaged, but I think I like this idea even better! Hope Monty appreciates all the time and effort you put into it!

Try a bird store, in person or online. Bird's Paradise or Bird's Extoic in NJ sell them, and I know they do online orders and shipping. I use it in my parrot's cage.

Also, how do people get the thermometer/humidity to stick to the mesh?? Mine keeps falling right off...

Never seen a cage door that's hinged on the left. must be a UK thing ha
