alright, im planning on getting two jackson's chams, one male and one female, and buying two cages is alot. so im going to custom build one big cage which is really two and divided by a solid wall (i know they are solitary and hate seeing eachother). so heres my idea: aluminum (or another type) mesh, two swinging doors like a cabinet, solid wall between them, mesh elsewhere. bottom will be mesh covered with synthetic turf carpet so if theres any water buildup it can drain into a pan underneath.

a habiscus plant in each enclosure with synthetic vines, and free ranging insects on the bottom. i will have a dripper for each cage above each plant and will be misted with a spray bottle twice daily. and a uvb and basking light set above each enclosure...am i missing anything?? i want to get everything perfect before i actually get the chams! also, what type of mesh does anyone prefer and how much does it generally cost?

other cage ideas from anyone?
and minimum dimensions? (this cage is going to take up alot of room...)
