Egg-laying Enclosure

[SSimsswiSS]

So with the temps of February here (hot one day, freezing cold the next) , I decided to build a temporary laying enclosure for one of my females. So I can keep more stable temps inside my garage, then the GOC. So I spent Sunday morning putting one together. Started out with putting a wire rack on wheels together.

Looks good! Is that for laying or mating? Well done!

Then had to modify two sink basins to fit rack.

Then 1' plastic wire mesh and a whole lot of zip ties where used.

Then I made a removable front out of 2' x 2's and the stapled the mesh to the wood frame.
Then I climbed up a tree and chopped down a few select branches, and added a few plants.
Hard part of this project was finding right soil free of fertilizers.

Wow that looks fantastic. I'm jealous for whatever lucky couple gets to stay in there

It might have been 50 degees outside during the day, but a nice toasty 75 to 80 inside the garage. The female was not to happy to lose her roomy 7'x7'x7' outside diggs, but started to settle in by days ends.

Oops! I guess I should have had topic read Egg-laying enclosure. I had the Forum topic (chameleon breeding) stuck in my head, when typing out topic.

One down, one to go.

Waiting for 2 female parsons to lay? That is a job most of us would happily do? Best of luck.
