These two seem pretty much the same. It seems as thought the flexarium mesh is a little easier to see through. Are they basically the same though? Any pros and cons for either? Thanks in advance.

I really do want an aluminum cage but I want a cage that is about 18x30x48. I havent found an aluminum one with those dimensions.

I built my own 24x24x48" timbre and securamesh cage. it was fine for a while, but my cham grew quickly and then it seemed a bit small.
I just moved him into a 30x30x72 flexarium (yes, the phonebooth) and I cant say ive had any issues really.
cons are : hard to see through without supplimentry lighting and zippers a bit of nuisance, otherwise, so far ok.
More importantly, the cham likes it!

The branch I cut from a tree in my yard because it was threatening to bring down power lines. After I cut it i thought it might be good for my big python to free range on. The xmas tree stand had done its job and was sitting around so I reinstated it.
After an incident with the python and my wife, she refused to allow it anymore.
My cham had it in the yard before I got this enclosure, it was ideal.

Well not really, it was a living branch till I cut it, then it sat outside mid summer on concrete in 115f plus temps daily for about 2-3 weeks, baked the crap out of it!
Ofcourse I did inspect it closely before using it and found no holes or bugs of any kind.
I poured boiling water over its length a few times then let it dry again. Just too big to deal with any other way.
We have a steam cleaner that ive used on it a few times, (cricket crap) but Homer hasnt ever shat on it. seems to have a preferance for going down to the cage floor to do the biz!
