My wife found these but I'm concerned about the heat lamp sitting on top with a 40 watt bulb causing damage. I can still copy Jdog with the PVC frame work to mount UV, Clamps, fogger and mister but these (if they are ok to use) would save me money and a LOT of time.Being a truck driver I don't have a lot of time to build cages so this would get the job done faster.
Thnx
 
Yes it should work. Just get a tray to catch the water. But definitly you can use it. Honestly i prefer diy cage from diycages.com they also have trays and light hoods
 
Think that's the cage I have I just got him and he came with it I like it but until I fixes a couple of bugs in my other big cage he will soon to be going there I think you should build your own if you can or if you have some one that's good with tools there easy to make ;)
 
My personal experience with these enclosures is more negative than positive. For me, I like something that is solid and stable. These seemed kind of flimsy.

I wasnt able to wedge dowels or branches in between the walls that would be secure enough. I've also heard crickets can chew through the mesh.

I ended up returning mine after trying to set it up in exchange for the more expensive, metal screen enclosure. I'm really, really happy that I did, because I was able to wedge 3-4 dowels between the walls very easily (@ different levels so the cham can climb around and bask/cool off), and they are SOLID. Another perk with metal screen is, if you get bio vine, you can strip the bark off the edges and expose the wire inside. This wire can be pushed through the screen and twisted to brace it there. A similar effect to the dowels.

Again this is my 2 cents, I could just be really picky.:p
