I saw this wall-less chameleon cage & I thought . . .wow how neat. I want one, but I do not like buying something when there isn't a selection of similar items to choose from. On this website "http://www.chameleoncondo.net/pages/733523/index.htm" there is the neatest chameleon habitat. What do you others feel about this wall-less environment? I don't want some big tacky cage in my living room and I feel this is a good alternative, but I don't want to get something like this at the expense of the chameleon.

Here is a picture of the environment.

We think they are neat too.... however, the design presented us with some concerns:

1. How does one keep the chameleon on the thing? They can jump, after all.
2. Providing feeder insects would be by hand or cup only - as everything else could get away. But the cham COULD catch flies!
3. Ease of cleaning... I suppose you could take it outside and squirt the whole thing down....
4. Does "chameleon droppings" mean anything..??
5. What if you have other pets..??

If we had an enclosed patio - we'd have bunches of these things hanging out there.... but inside our home, we want safe enclosures. There are some gorgeous cabinet-furniture quality enclosures out there if you need to go that route.

Just some thoughts...
