Great cages for babies!!!

[CleaTheChameleon]

Hello everyone, today BocaJan(Naomi) told me about these cool cages that are normally used for butterflys, but do well for baby chameleons and she went to go get some and got me 3. She came and dropped mine off by my house and they are fantastic. I love them to death and they are perfect size and everything. Here are some pics of them and the link below is if you wish to order them. Enjoy

Can fruit flies or a week old crickets get through the mesh?

I don't think so. It keeps away from ants so i guess they shouldn't be able to

 

[PantherVeileD]

yeah I've watched the videos and it says that it keep ants from getting in. I think ants are twice as big as fruit flies.

I've heard pros and cons and some people like using tubs better but I would like to give this a try.

You should. I had these recommended in the past before and when BocaJan told em about it i was so happy she was willing to get me some and i paid her back of course

It won't let pins or ff out. I checked with the wholesaler because this is a big point when you are feeding babies.

Oh cool. Thanks for clearing that up Naomi

I am curious how well it would handle a low wattage bulb, for when its time to keep them heated up. This looks like a good idea though i would love to hear more opiions.

You can always use a zoomed heat lamp stand

UVb

Cool find!

I wonder if the plastic and mesh let through much UVb light. Can some one with a meter give it a test?

I tried to put the fixture with the bulb over the cage and of course it was to heavy so i need to figure out something now.

You would think they do. I can take Clea out for a sec(she is begging to come out of her cage) and take her uvb and put it over one of the cages and see how it works out.

EDIT-Ltes just say this. You will need a light fixture ahah

Plastic filters UVB , thats what he is saying, its not a matter of how it fits or w/e.

Been using them for years and have had the link posted on my site for the same amount of time. Long time cham keeper turned me on to them.

UVB gets through all sides, I have tested it. Today we have overcast but still the readings inside the caterpillar cage are in the high 60s.
