Questions on free ranging

[dreamforthedead]

The place i've just moved to has a big walk in cupboard in the bedroom, its 6ft high and 4ft in width, i think it would be perfect to use as a free range for mia. I'm still working it all out tho, lol. Anyway so far, im thinking of using the cupboard as a place for mia to bask and get her UV, with loads of branches and live plants, have the door left open 24/7 so she can come in an out whenever she liked. I'd have branches all over the room for her too. It would be easy to wire up as there is a plug socket just outside the cupboard. I could easy make a drain for the water to go in by having a tray at the bottom with a sheet of plastic with holes in or wood so mia woudn't drown. Thats all i've thought so far, i will make sure it's perfect for her to live in before i even put her in it. Going by what i've said so far would it work? What size UV tube and basking bulb would i need? Any help would be great, as i said before this is all at the top of my head so far but will get a proper plan in action. Mia really hates being caged she's forever banging on the glass to be out, bless her. Its funny this time last year i would of been planning on how much clothes and shoes i could stuff in that cupboard, it would be heaven. But i think mia would enjoy it much more than me.

You've got some good ideas. I'm in the process of building my female veiled a free range. She also hates being in a cage even though I built her a giant over 5 ft. tall cage she still begs at the door all the time. I keep her out when I'm home but know that she needs the proper lighting, dripping and misting to be full time.

I really like Eric's free range. Check it out: https://www.chameleonforums.com/free-range-42763/

I'm making one along these lines with the chameleon condo to have the light and dripper together dripping into a plant with another pot underneither to catch the overflow. https://www.chameleonforums.com/thaxters-domain-32445/

I keep Mia out when im home, she really hates her viv. She's much happier sitting on my shoulder.
