Hi everyone,
Looking forward to enjoying a new panther cham in a couple months, and since I have experience with DIY projects, I thought I would give building a cage a shot. Of course, I'm still in the research stage, so nothing is final. I made up a design on sketchup, so I am looking for more experienced people to critique it.
The dimensions of the cage itself are 2x2x6ft.
Now, under the cage is a drain, which leads to a bin underneath, much like Heika's cage.
A few questions that I have include:
1)Is 6ft. too tall for a panther? I have heard different opinions, some saying that 6ft. is perfect, and others saying that it is too much.
2)What is the prefered type of screening used?
3)If possible, should I integrate an automatic misting system?
Thanks everyone!
