Need help with cage

[autumnatreisw]

So at the moment I have a glass cage for my chameleon that has a few cents because I just got her. She is rapidly growing though. She's only a few months and she's fairly big so I need to get her a new one. I've looked for all mesh cages on the web but I can't find any trustable ones and I don't know where else to look or go. Can any one help with a place I could get a mesh cage. I live in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area.

You should have set up a screen enclosure before acquiring your cham. (Glass enclosures are not recommend for most chameleons) It would have given you time to fine tune your set up and work out any issues. Dragon Strand makes excellent enclosures and many people also use DIY Cages. LLLreptile and FL Chams also sell screen enclosures. All of the above are site sponsors.

I agree with MVAD you should have setup the enclosure before getting the animal. This would just create unnecessary stress on the animal but screw it what's done is done I suppose.

I use the HAILEA screen cages. The N11 model seems to be doing my 4month old really well.

The reptibreeze from Zoomeds are really good as well.

I would not suggest the exo-terra flexariums. The material is not durable, insects bite through it like crazy, it tears easily, is not resistant to UVB and heat bulbs melt away the netting.

Use flexariums during the warmer months for natural UVB

Thank you to all that gave me places and other advice. It helped! But I would also like to say that what's done is done and I can't go back in change it. I thank you for the advice but the more appropriate time would have been a couple months ago when I first got her. When j bought her I bought her and her cage all in one purchase because it was an in the moment buy and I didn't have time to plan anything out.

Everyone that is giving advise about the glass enclosure.. Glass is not a bad way to keep chameleons, as long as they are Terrariums, and not aquariums. They just need to be set up correctly.

Please go read the thread by Chris Anderson on this subject. its a very long thread with great info that proves the "dont use glass" theory wrong.

Looks like you've got quite a few leads for screen cages now, so i'll leave it at that.
