You're a life saver! I really appreciate you talking with me about this. This is my first reptile, and I want him to have the very best life. So, my other idea is to use plywood on the back, and attach a thin sheet of plexiglass to it or maybe the currugated plastic sheet and then put the foam...
Yes the dry lock is what I was talking about. I am new to this so if I sound like an idiot I apologize. I have not found any blogs or YouTube's doing what I'm about to do and so it's hard to make sure I'm doing it all right. I've just been piecing it together. In my case I'll be putting the foam...
Great idea! So this is my rough draft for the enclosure I'm building. I'm gonna take their advice and put him directly in it. It will have two feet depth, six feet tall, and four feet wide. I'm thinking I'll do screen on top so I can easily switch and put lights above, but maybe I should use...
What foam do you think is best? Also I saw a YT video of a guy who didn't use Silicone. He used something I can't remember the name of. I wanna say flex wood
I'm definitely building my own enclosure. I may not go bioactive at first though. Do you think I could still do the wall without going bioactive right now? What I was thinking was to do pine and put screen around it except the back and the bottom. So on the back I would use pine and then on the...
Ahhhhh I got my baby! I think he's coming in May! I've been waiting for Kammerflage to have a boy, and they just randomly put up some. These are his relatives. I'm so excited. Now off to build the best enclosure eveeeer
Sorry hit the send button too quick. This is my first Chameleon and I wanna give him the very best little life. Should I hold off on the bioactive part? But if I do, then later I would have to move him for a month which would stress him out. I have too many choices and things I wanna do! Hahah...
I've read all the stuff already ?? I've been obsessing about this too much which is why I think I'm having a hard time deciding. So my dream would be to build a 3x3x48 enclosure and have the bottom have a plexiglass portion to make it bioactive. Buttttt this is my first chamele
Okay, so I'm getting a baby panther, and originally I was gonna build him a big boy enclosure and I still will. But, I've also decided that to start I want to get a small prebuilt enclosure first so I have an extra one and because the one I'm building may be too big. He will be 3-5 months old...
Okay, one million questions. Haha. First, holy crap it's AMAZING. Second, why do you do the tubing? Is that cuz you water those plants and don't want the water building up? Do you just spray the foam directly on the glass? Or, do you do it on something else and attach it to the glass?
This may sound stupid, but I'm trying to plan my build. The box and the enclosure is easy peasy, but the foam mold confuses the hell out of me lol. So I am going to make a screen enclosure, and was thinking I would build a wood box for it to rest in for the substrate. What the heck do you put...
Great idea! I am good at wood working and carpentry. So, it seems I can spend a lot less money and get a way better cage if I build it myself. I just need to look at some others to get an idea for a plan of some sort.
I am starting my research on getting a Chameleon. I am in Colorado, and we have winter here. For my enclosure should I do glass, screen, or hybrid? I'm afraid with the screen type Enclosure I will not be able to keep it warm enough for him, but he will have his own room so maybe it won't matter...
Oh my gosh, this looks amazing! You should write out all your steps because this is beautiful. I can't wait to see it with plants and everything in it.
