Plexi/ Shower curain sides of cage???

[steviejcsc]

So I have been reading about people attaching plexi glass and shower curtains to the sides of their cages to contain the mist/ contain moisture. I want to add this to two sides of my screen cage before I order my mistking and get a cham.
What is the easiest way to attach it?
Does anyone have a picture of what this looks like...

It would really help if you could post a pic of your enclosure. I have an all screen with wood frame and will be doing this this weekend. I plan on either making a 3 sided plexi-glass box to insert in the enclosure to cover half or simply glueing the plexi-glass to the cage itself. It's going to be a rain chamber so I need to think about drainage.

I want to do the same (plexi) for the new cage I'm setting up. I've thought about using velcro, and saw a couple members here had success with it.

I hope I'm not stealing the tread with this, but one of the things (wive's tales?) people say about glass is that the chameleon will see its own reflection and get stressed. I'm thinking plexi could have the same potential for this. Issue? I'm thinking not, but I wanted to ask...

I plan on outing it on the outside of the black screen cage, I think that should cut down reflection. As for drainage I have a cage that will fit on a lll reptile drain pan, so I am going to try that! Is the plexi/ curtain meant to go to the bottom of the cage?

You should be fine since it is on the outside of the screen but yes I would be somewhat worried about it. You could always take some like 300 grit sandpaper and fog up the plexi glass so there is no reflection. If it was me i wouldnt use those stick on velcros I have had bad experiences with them especially when there is alot of moisture and humiditiy. I would prob just drill a coupe of small holes around the edges and tie it on with fishing line/wire/string or something similar.

Should it go to the bottom? I am worried about water collecting at the bottom of the curtain where it is attached to the cage. Also about the plexi dripping water out of the cage!?

How about if you put plexi-glass inside the cage so the run off will drip in the pan and not use a shower curtain? I think they make a "frosted" plexi-glass which would eliminate the reflection.

I have put slot of work into zip tying plants and vines into the cage! Seems easier to put something on the outside.
