WAIT IS OVER! new cham+ custom cage

How far is that UVB light from the basking spot? If its more than 6" you may need to bring the basking spot closer to the UVB lamp or use a ReptiGlo 10.0 light instead of the normal 5.0.

Other than that, it looks great! I may have to do that someday.
 
Thanks everyone! I'm happy with how it turned out.

@ VO87- HAHA! yeah the caulking is to worst part! I caulked EVERY single seam... plus the floor panel. All that would need to be cut away in order to fit it through a 28'' door.... anyone who is interested in building one like mine should keep that in mind

@ Nick barta- Thanks man! Sandy and Elliot were awesome, I would definitely buy from them again. Im hoping for some green on him:D His sire is unsure, but that didn't bother me.... b/c they knew the sire to be 1 of 3 males who were all impressive (I think yellow wolf, nemo, and one other) not sure about the female, didn't think to ask:eek: I will friend request you, It would be cool to see your guys.

@ camshaft- the light is like 9/10'' away from the basking spot... I thought the light was effective up to 12''? thats what it says anyway? If i need to change it i will... whadda ya think?

@jessica- yeah that piece of plastic is what the breeder put in the travel box for him to sit on.... and I thought it would be a cool little chameleon jungle gym section.
 
Dimensions

I have attached an absolutely horrible draft of the cage and dimensions, but i will try and explain below.
For those who asked... the dimensions: <<<the cage would be 30x30x48 IF It wasn't for the fact that its a corner unit and its missing the front corner>> The two main walls that make up the 90 degree angle(that sits in the corner) are 30'' each.. then from there I came straight off each wall with a 12'' section. From there, you're left with roughly a 27.5'' doorway opening that you will need to span with two pieces(top and bottom) that has two 45 degree cuts( on each end... so it sits flush)

THEN, I used 1x2's to frame the doorway, and make it look more like a picture frame.. and hide all the cuts/screws. HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE:confused:
