Thanks lele! The terms "frigging" and "selfish" are bound to offend almost anyone, especially a new keeper trying to do everything right the first time.
Keeping chams means getting creative with the few choices of caging we all know don't meet cham needs very well. Frankly, if I was the keeper of a baby cham in a tank and trying to decide what type of cage to move a rapidly growing cham into a bird cage set up properly might be just fine for a few months until it got closer to its adult size (and I got my final adult cage built for it). I often use bird cages to house chams temporarily or for outdoor basking cages if the bar width is small enough.
If the rabbit cage had coated wire mesh (many do these days) it might be a great cage...safer for feet, larger than many commercial herp cages and easily modified to hold bigger live plants. What's wrong with getting creative with a cage? Not asking and using a tank for too long is much worse! I think some of us need to calm down a bit.
