Hey everyone,
I just built a large cage for my veiled, and upon finishing it I noticed that it was too large to fit through my bedroom door. So my chameleon will have to stay in my apartment living room for now on, but I am concerned about how to keep his enclosure dark enough at night while I'm still awake with the lights on. The cage won't have any direct lighting over it, so I was thinking about putting Velcro around the top of the cage and hanging dark curtains around it at night. I'd only have 2 sides of the cage covered as the other too sides will have walls by them. Would this restrict airflow enough to cause problems or will it be fine just at nighttime? Or does anyone else have other solutions they'd like to share?
Thanks!
