Outdoor enclosure

[Jakemahady]

Hello! I posted before about building the out door enclosure and how it can be done. But now I have finished building it for my female jacksons chameleon. I'll attach some photos and let me know what you guys think!
It is a plastic netting around and a misting system is hooked up around it as well as a nightlight just incase it gets to cold at night.

Well done!

That's some really nice space

Looks great!

Can't tell by scale, but just make sure a chameleon can't wriggle through the holes in the net. I built a similar enclosure and had a cham escape via squeezing through the holes.

How did you monitor the eating and how exactly did you feed yours? I was thinking about setting up a plastic bin and dumping worms / crickets in there but I keep having a problem with ants as well

Looks great, but I have two concerns. Aren't you afraid he can get out by climbing the back side where the mesh don't go all the way down the concrete block wall? And second the size of the holes, and the softness of the mesh aren't you afraid on snakes getting in? just curious.

I stacked some bricks to cover up the gap between the wood and wall.

After loosing two chams via escape i got rid of the self-made enclosure and purchased a large reptibreeze for outdoor use. I only take mine outside 3 times a week tops, as it gets really hot here in MD. As far as feeding; it's the only time i cup feed my cham (I typically free range- and leave gutload at the bottom of the indoor enclosure for them to eat), and that's when i give him gutloaded/calcium dusted superworms.

I tried free ranging crickets in the outdoor cage but ants would find and swarm around the dead ones, so i stopped.
