Chief's new free range

[xraygirl]

Well, its a more temporary, quickly thrown together one. Weekend are my only free time to do stuff. So I ran to lowes and picked up a $12 trellis, two pothos, and picked up 3 vines from petsmart. Strung it all up, hooked a vine end to a vine inside his cage and sat back... 20 minutes later he eased out.

I did it this way so that he'll realize that opening the door and coming out of his cage is a good thing. He doesn't run away from me or anything when I'm inside the cage (unless I move too fast), but he gets nervous/panicky when hes outside his cage, especially if you move around with him. I'm hoping this will help him.

He seems to enjoy it!

this pretty dang great for a "throw together"!!! btw you have quite a handsome little repti-baby!!!!

 

[SaintJimmy]

I agree. Looks neat Also your boy is so handsome

That looks great! The red on that boy is amazing! Can you get a picture of it from a distance so I can get an idea of how you put it together? I need to do a free range for my guys.

Here ya go Melissa! I'm kinda embarrassed from all the crap in that corner... But the trellis is leaning against the back of a chair and the Pothos is just hooked onto it.

Can you believe this was him? (November 2013)

Thank you everyone for the nice compliments! I wish I could have recorded the 'pouty' face I got when his lights clicked off (and he was trying to go to sleep in his free range) when I was trying to scoop him up out of his 'getting ready to go to sleep' position and back into his cage.

I love it! I never thought of using the trellis as the support! It looks good, and is perfect! Thank you for the picture, that helps a lot.

This is so awesome! What a great idea!

I desperately wanted to get him out of his cage. And from other free ranges I've seen on here that I'd love to do, being in a rental house prevents me from doing so.

So, this set up is 'rental' friendly

Wow, your cage is gorgeous too.

Wow, your cage is gorgeous too.

Thanks! It was a 1 day quick throw together, literally. He's getting am24x24x48 very soon
