I decided to post pictures of what my reptile room, set-ups, and diy enclosure look like. So for starters, this is my reptile room looking in from the hall:
To the left as you walk in is Toothless, my bearded dragon's dessert terrarium:
This is the cabinet that I re-purposed for a chameleon habitat:
I found this cabinet used and it had three sections, which I wanted because I started out with 3 chameleons (who were being housed together by previous owner in an 18x18x36 reptibreeze
) I took out the glass, took of the top panel, removed the lights, and stripped the finish inside. Next I cut out part of the middle dividers and put screen in between the sections and also put screen in the sides and doors where the glass had been. I also put screen at the top of each individual section (the top I used aluminum to withstand heat, but everywhere else I used fiberglass screen).Note that I attached foliage (with aluminum craft wire) to BOTH sides of the middle sections to prevent the chams from seeing each other and being stressed:
I used clamp fixtures on the top, which require a ladder to see or change bulbs. The pictures make this seem smaller than it is. It is over 6 feet tall and over 8 foot wide. It's a monster. Each section has a UVB and a heat bulb:
Here are a picture of my two beautiful men in their sections (the third is awaiting the arrival of a female panther from Canvas Chameleons):
There is a spray nozzle in each section connected to my mister:
And another of the cabinet:
To the right of the cabinet:
I have my Jackson female's enclosure and the baby enclosure with a visual barrier in between and a humidifier for the babies:
And my silkworm tank (the water bowl is to help with humidity, not for drinking):
And finally, one might ask: Where is all the crap that you have to have for them?! Well fortunately, there are closets on the right wall with one solely dedicated to reptile and bug supplies:
