[ChameleonNerd]

I just got my new enclosure today from DIYCages.com and it's really great so far. Just thought i'd post a few pictures

Looks nice, I see Carla knows how to hide in there already Does she seem happy with it too?

These are nice cages! BUT I personally would never get one again due to the hinge breaking off and my Veiled was lost outside for a few days...I was lucky to even find him again! No Offense DIY..

i noticed the hinge looks slightly flimsy. i think it will do fine though.

and yes, she seems to love it - but i won't know for sure until tomorrow morning

I have had great success with my DIY's, one of them stays outside as a sunning cage with no problems.

Your cage looks awesome!!, you did a great job with the interior

Nice. How did you attach the wooden rods to the screen?

 

[ChameleonNerd]

Mine took a bit longer than expected, too. It didn't take two weeks though. A week and a half max.

Either way, it's worth it. The locks are a little flimsy - my one complaint

But other than that, the setup is a breeze. BUT - I almost didn't realize that there are 2 different size screws because they are in the same baggie. The big ones are for the frame, the Small ones are for the hinges on the door. Best of luck!

I went to home depot and bought wooden dowels. Lined them up with the top of the cage, horizontally, and cut them. I also bought these tacks at Home Depot like thumb tacks. I pressed them in before i put them in the cage to make the holes in the wood, then removed them, so that they went in easy once they were set in place - just to make sure i didn't rip the aluminum mesh

Tell me about it. I have my chams (the 2 veileds) outside the whole year, but I have to bring them in now because there is a hawk that's been stalking them. I cant use their outdoor cages inside, so this wait sucks. My mom has to keep her eyes on them while I'm at school.

hawks are no good :/ its too cold in pa to house chams outside...so hopefully i dont have that problem :/
