So after the need of rehoming Ringo and Starr due to money and family issues. I'm secretly starting to prepare for a new chameleon even if its 6 months to a year from now. Anyways back to my crazy enclosure plans. My landlord had an old wooden end table, I asked if i could have it and she said yes. So plans are as months go by are to:
Strip it from the old paint, replace bottom board, waterseal it and stain it. Thats for the base. The base measures 20"x24"x24". I was going to get either a plastic sheeting or plywood covered to prevent water damage. Cut out a big enough hole to put a plant pot in it. Then put the enclosure frame around it, measuring approximately 18"x22"36". I plan on putting a trim around it to hide the screen. I have about a half of roll of pet screen left over, with aluminum screen on top for lights.
I'm planning on getting a tall hibiscus for the pot and have a pothos I'm growing. Looking to use dowels and water seal them. Looking into getting the 24" acadria (something like that) from light your reptiles, the bulb and 6.5k plant bulb.
Looking into getting a jackson sometime after summer or when we move in April 2014. Gives me plenty of time to get the enclosure set up and research done. By that time I'll be able to get a mist king and the water sealant and paint will lose its fumes. Plans are in the works... Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
