Very cool. I am building a cage this summer for Rebel. I wanted to ask...where did you get the plastic coated wire and how big are the holes. I am not too worried about feeders escaping because I cup feed. I just want it to be easy on Rebels feet and not rust. Also, what did you waterproof the wood with? I live in an tower apartment with no outdoor space so my cage is going to be built at a friends who has a car port and then assembled in my apartment so dry time is not that big a deal..

I am impressed that you are only 16 and are doing such a great job caring for your chameleons...

If your Chams are happy, thats all that matters! It loooks like you provided great enclosers!!! Rex being spoiled is proof of your great work

 

[chameleonowner32]

Thank you guys. He is sure spoiled. He only goes to sleep if I massage his shoulders. If I'm not there idk how he makes it.

I used 1-2 inch plastic hardware cloth. My bad. I got it at Home Depot. It wont rust cause its plastic. And used thompsons water seal.

You did a very nice job. (See you have a job.) What if you built these and sold them locally? Keep up the great effort!!!

Yeah, getting into chams isn't easy as a jobless teen. I built this 2x3x4 when I was about 14. Now I just have a 2x2x4 from lll. That was for my fist Cham, unfortunately he died because the breeder had me using rep-cal with D3 6 days a week. I ended up selling everything, and then I decided I wanted to try another nosy be so I rev ought everything but with a 2x2x4 and an Aquazamp. Btw, I'm 17 now. Here's a pic of the cage I built and my current setup.
