Searching for Enclosure

[Acham]

Anyone know of a screen enclosure that measures 26"t x 16"w x 16"d? Width and depth could vary but it must be at least 26" tall and no less.

Zoo med makes one that's 16"x16x30. I believe they also have 18x18x36

Thank you but I cannot go higher than 26". Purchased a used enclosure that is 26" high, which would be perfect, but the frame is showing too much wear. This size would only be used for trade shows because they are large enough to display adult females and they fit into my car. The display enclosures are set up with branches, vines and live plants so flipping it on the side during travel isn't possible.

Anyone else know of a screen enclosure hat is 26" high?

Thank you but I have that one. Adult females just look too crowded in this size. People observing our diaplay might be under the impression that this size is comfortable for an adult female. We spend a massive amount of time discussing proper enclosures, care and always have care sheets on our display tables. Even though the 26" high screen enclosure is too small as a permanent home we educated people before we allow them to adopt our Chameleons.

You may want to consider making your own, there are some great posts on here about it. You could make it to exactly what you need and as simple or ornate as you would like. Everything you need you could get at home Depot or Lowe's, they will even cut the wood for you if you want/need them to. I know that when I need to upgrade enclosures I will be making my own.

I think it may come to that - just need to stop being so lazy!

Thank you. This forum.is very helpful thanks to all of the members and administrators.

I'm currently building my own, and it is the easiest project I've ever tackled. Now, maybe a pro would scoff at little bends in the wood, but it's going to fit my needs. The only tools I've needed are a drill for the screws, a staple gun for the screen/hardware cloth, and a small jig saw for the wood. Easy peasy!

I wish I had just made my own!! I have dumped so much $$ into trying to make my store bought one work.... "Sigh* oh well live and learn I guess

Sounds like the best solution is to make your own display cage that can be designed exactly how you want it.....transportable, the right shape and size that works for shows. As its used temporarily it won't need to handle long term water exposure etc.

Making one does seem like the sensible solution. Since I only need 2 or 3 it seemed, at first, that purchasing was the way to go. Locating the desired dimensions just isn't going to happen.

Thanks everyone.

I made a 5x5x3 Cham cage for just 35 bucks. 1/2 inch chicken wire squares by the roll with 1x1s. Super cheap and he loves the firm grip he gets on the wire (it doesn't hurt his feet, but every Cham is different
