Sterilite Bins?

[XDragonGrlX]

I was curious if it would be ok to use a large sterilite bin to house jacksons chams in? Id cut out 2 sides and put mesh over them, and the same thing on the lid. Would this be suitable or should I go for a repti breeze or similar cage?

You'll (and your cham) will be much happier if you go with a full screen cage. Jackson's are very active and need a lot of space, so the biggest you can get, definitely no smaller than 2x2x4.

A modified tub could work for a very short time as temporary housing, but you'll find that it isn't suitable for a permanent home, no matter how much work you put into it.

I started out with a 2x2x4 LLL Reptile cage. A little pricey, but definitely worth the money. It's a good quality cage. Get the drainage base, too - you'll be happy you did.

The similar reptibreeze is on sale in some places:

Oh, and one 1 cham per cage. They are very territorial and don't like friends. Welcome to the forums!
