did you make that and if you did how because im looking into making one for my chameleon eliot
Thanks! It was my first attempt at putting together an outdoor enclosure for him, I think it came out pretty good. At least I don't have to worry about birds or cats. I still never leave him alone but I can step inside if I need to or turn my back to him when I water the flower beds.
It's made of PVC, zip ties and poultry fencing, the holes are small enough that he can't go through one.

Thanks, he acted like he wasn't too interested until we turned the camera off! Then he zapped down a dozen!

Stanley's looking good. Lets see the whole enclosure.
Thanks Jann, I'll take a pic and post it. It's 2'x2'x5' and hangs horizontally under the pergola over my deck. He's only been in it a few times but is getting more comfortable each time! It does need a bit more foliage added to it. But he really seems to like it, his colors are amazing and he doesn't want to come out!

here's a pic of the enclosure, don't mind the gaps, when it's all secured there aren't any..... it needs more foilage but the wholeplan was to be able to get it down and out of site since we are trying to sell our house... it's 2'x2'x5'... and he really does seem to enjoy it... this way he gets to stay out longer and i don't have to worry about birds or cats!!!

well at this point i'm still hand misting him every 45 minutes to an hour or so. for about 5 minutes each time.... i've ordered some mister valves to attach to the end of a garden hose and will have one set up on one end of it going continuously. once it gets to 90 we come inside, there is plenty of shade from the pergola and i'm going to add more plants in the next few days... he's only out in the early morning hours..... i have a infrared thermometer and check on him constantly.
it's not the most asthetically pleasing enclosure but it's ment to be a quick take down when someone comes to look at our house, we are trying to sell .....
