If i keep my reptarium, held down under a covered patio in a corner, take it in when it rains, will it wear down? Are they made to be left outside?
 
Will your cham be in it or are you just storing it when it isn't being used? As long as the mesh doesn't sit soaking wet 24/7 and isn't out in full sun it should last a long time. Some insects can chew through the mesh, squirrels or mice might chew holes in it. The plastic frame could split if it freezes. The zippers tend to wear if they are used every day for a long time I've noticed. I don't know if they might corrode in high outdoor humidity. But, for a temporary outdoor basking cage or a travel cage they work great.
 
No, He will only be going in there once a day. I remove the bugs from it when I'm done. I agree to the wearing but Im hoping it will be fine until school starts again, thats when I plan to take it down every day
