My Custom Cages!

[Justin Carl]

Here are some pictures of the cages I have ben talking about for so long.
Let me know what ya think!
The glass sides will be installed when they cage is done being moved around.
Dont want to risk breaking it.

Plywood and liquid nail water catch

Very nice

 

[ken2414]

those are nice i wish i had some skill.....

 

[Dean Pulcini]

what type of chameleons do you plan on keeping in there? Also what are the dimensions?

 

[Justin Carl]

Bucky and Ken, thanks for the compliments!
They were my designs, but my old high school construction class put them together.
I helped a little on my days off, but they have it down to a science now.
I should have 6 before their school year ends.

Dean, I will be keeping whatever I can in there.
Vieleds, Panthers or Montanes. It will all depend on what I have going on at that time.
The bottom is 20x20x24, it will hold a 5 gallon bucket for a water catch.
The top is 20x20x48, and the shingle roof is also 20x20x20.
So, it totals about 7 feet tall.
Each cage will have a Mercury Vapor or 48" reptisun will cover two of the cages.

The glass I'm using is bathroom glass, so it dosent give off a reflection.
Here is an old thread I started on it:https://www.chameleonforums.com/glass-type-9053/

By the way, they look 10 times better in person.

How many total do you have? They look nice!

Dang it rox!

 

[Justin Carl]

Thanks again

Thanks LPR08 and Kathy.
I have two right now, but no chameleons to put in them.
They are a little large for what I have right now.
So, we will see what I end up getting.
Maybe I will bring something home after the Orlando show.

 

[Chase]

I know I will be bringing something home from the show . Last time Mike had some sub-adult Veileds.

Very nice, I was thinking of building something like that for my female, but we'll wait until after she lays her eggs, I don't want to stress her out too much right now.

now im going to be honest dont hate me for being honest.
i think that the base and cage itself are really nice,
but i dont like the top or the drainage.

this is just my opinion and i dont mean to offend you,
i infact would love to have just the base and the cage itself in
my house because they look so nice. i really like the two colors.
it really brings it out, and i would put this on display somewhere
where everyone could see it in my house.

i would get rid of the top because i just dont fansy it,
and im really big on drainage (i fixed my cage uo becuase of that ill
make a thread sometime today)
and i dont think it will work out as effective as i would like.

what i would of dont was get a plank system in there so the plants
didnt have to be elivated, then just put metal screening over it so the bugs
wont get out.

everything else is perfect and you should be very happy with it.
just dont put any old cham in thos cages put something really nice.

please dont be offended by this, i was only telling you my opinion.
if you are im sorry, i didnt meant to, and if you want to come to illinois
you can kick me in my shin.

Looks good, Justin!

 

[ChromaChameleons]

very impressive.. looks great

 

[Justin Carl]

No hard feelings nightcrawler, but you got to see the drainage in action.
It works great and it has a very clean look.
No wires show and you dont see any of the lighting hoods.
Thanks everyone else.

Cant get much more effective then that!

 

[nightcrawler]

i notice how effective it is becuase of the still shot of the water.
its like whooa.

 

[Justin Carl]

I guess you changed your mind on the drainage then.
The best part about the whole thing is that I paid less then ten dollars for each cage.
You cant beat that one bit!

 

[Cainschams]

Looks great Justin. I hate seeing the wires on my cages the top is a good Idea. Although what about the power supply cable. You could staple it up the back of one of the supports but Im sure you got that covered. Great job.
