I've kept several species of Phelsuma in the past. I never felt like I had the truely perfect cage design for them. I wanted something with front access but also that had a small access door that allowed for feeding without opening up the entire front. Many of the species I worked with were very flighty and I always had to deal with specimens jumping or running out. A small access door slightly bigger than my fist would have been perfect.



At any rate, I've since played around with a design for tree vipers that would be perfect for Phelsuma. It consists of mounting plastic storage boxes on a plywood or real-wood face frame. The back of the wood is sealed with epoxy or strips of plastic.



I'll post two pictures. If you care to read more about this design you can look up a thread names "Cage idea I've been toying with" or something like that. It's probably on page two or three by now. If you use the edit/find function in your browser with chris_harper2 typed in you should find it.



Here's the first picture.
