Quite honestly I never really trusted those "wall-less" chameleon enclosures that used to be out there on the market. The ones that looked like some kind of space-aged hanging plant basket. Although they don't do it often chameleons can jump and I always figured that they would do just that with those things. Of course the fact that I keep lizard eating dogs tends to change my perspective on things not to mention that I build my own cages and can build something way better that you could ever buy comercially. Which brings me to my next point, if you give it a good amount of thought first you can come up with something on your own that will not only work but will be much better than anything you can buy. If you are worried about possibly not being handy with building things give it a try anyway. When I started working on enclosures I knew less than nothing about working with wood or power tools and less about hand tools which are harder to work with than power tools and a common source of people failing to gain woodworking skills (old, dull, poor- quality handsaws are not the right way to start trying to cut wood-buy or borrow a circular saw.) Now I am quite good at it and am starting work on some timber framed outdoor chameleon cages. Just think about what you want to do, try and come up with an idea on how to put it together and go slowly from there. Check out as many of those ideas for free range cages mentioned that you can find and go from there.
