Initially, I was planning on using it for a screen replacement. However, I thought if I heated and molded into shape, it would be study enough. Certainly for small baby cages. Idk about adult size cages.
It would be impossible to use cut pieces, due to the thinness . I'm thinking of...
1/4" is out of the question, cost wise. I'm exploring the use of thin sheets - approximately 1/8 inch, these would be braced with a door frame, at least. These are for small cages, not anything that would support heavy weight on top.
I'm looking to make some nicer cages for my montanes. Originally I was going to go with a glass/acrylic panel and a wood frame. then I decided to get cheap and simple.
I want to keep this as simple as possible, with as few components as possible.
My current idea involves longer sheets of...
This is the biggest plus for a 48" vs a 36" cage - furnishing it.
My cages are all home made 36x24x24 cages. They're well above the ground, over 6' up. but getting trees to fit is a pain.
a 48" tall cage makes it so much easier to fit a good ficus or sheffelera.
I've got 1 male that I'm willing to part with(and maybe a female if someone is really interested). They are over 6 months old and doing well.
I live in the mountains, and they've been exposed to cool nights every day - especially in the winter.
I've attached some old pics of the males as well...
That wouldn't be a problem. Melleri will eat those things. But superworms will eat dead animals. Would be horrible to lose a chameleon and find it writhing with superworms.
I've finally hooked up the new misting system nozzles to all my cages after dragging my feet a while. The demotivator for me was that these cages were designed and built in 2004 - without the idea of a misting system in mind. So I finally decided to gradually phase out the old cages and just...
The quality of Madagascar imports is high because the price is high...and the quotas very low. Melleri are imported by the thousands, and must be pretty common. It's a shame, as WC imports will do very well if treated well. The treatment they receive from being collected to being in someone's...
Melleri are my favorites. I'm hoping to get a few in next month, hopefully farm raised F1s. Regardless, Ive been wanting to see them as CB more often. SO much easier to care for as CB than WC.
I had this problem with deremensis after about a year in captivity. WC males would never hesitate to court females or fight males. Until they were in captivity for a year. Then they lost all interest. For me, it was that my room was far too warm, and they never got a cool down period...
