Anyone know of a larger "Cantina" cage?

Hey, All.
I found this on LLLReptile, and it's clearly not large enough for a panther. They don't have any larger than this.

Does anyone know of a larger version of this, or anything similar?
This is SO much nicer than a standard screen cage.

Thanks.

Seriously, why would you want to stuff your Cham in a tiny plastic slow cooker?

Why don't you make your own screened circular like enclosure? You could make it real tall and big all around. Meh, just an idea. Shouldn't be hard.

I think that is the perfect enclosure for a plastic chameleon - just like shown in the ads!

As pretty as it is, I agree with the others that it's not ideal.

However, SocialNumb does have a point - you can make a hanging round enclosure if you are handy that could be really lovely and functional. There might even be some examples in the sticky posts at the top of: https://www.chameleonforums.com/enclosures-supplies/

You can also mod a standard screen enclosure with decorative trim or build a false hood for the top to conceal the lights and wires pretty easily with only hand tools and some practice. You are only "stuck" with an ugly screen cage if you don't have any imagination (although the lighter PVC cages with zippers might be harder to work with).

Post a picture of what you have and what you would like to be better - maybe we can help come up with some efficient ideas to work with what you have? Cage design is one of the most fun parts of chameleons

Go check out the cages at Dragonstrand. That little thing was made to look pretty, not to keep a chameleon alive.

Seconded. I love my Dragon Strand cage. The plants haven't even grown in yet and I love the way it looks. Plus I don't get water all over my walls and floors. They are also making cages with clear sides now if you don't like the white.

Yes, absolutely stay away from that thing. I've even spoken to the people at LLL and they all agree that it's falsely misrepresented by the manufacturer and they do not recommend Chameleons be put in it at all. They always sell them as Gecko enclosures.
