Working on a part-time free range setup.

Yesterday I impulsively purchased a 6' tall Schefflera tree.

Now I'm in the process of pruning it so that it'll (hopefully) look something like this:

By the way, when I say "part-time free range setup" I mean a place for my Chameleon to hangout while I clean his cage, etc.

I haven't finished pruning yet, but decided to let my Chameleon take his new part-time free range for a 'test drive' today... I think he likes it!

If you look closely, you'll see a tiny bit of shedding skin stuck to his bottom jaw. I've said it before, but it warrants being said again... Wow, those post-shedding colors!

1st time free ranging...

Just the pot... That said, my chameleon only free ranges while being supervised. So, the risk of an escape is minimal (in my opinion).

Best of luck with your free range setup.
