I just do not know much about chameleon chondo. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with them?

Feel free to email me if that is more suitable for you.

thanks

1st of all it is chameleon condo

it is the worst chameleon cage i have ever witnessed and used...

the website that is supported (www.chameleoncondo.net) is extremely bias and opininated....

because of this terrible system , my 6 yr old jacksons chameleon died....

there is my opinion!!

I'm curious why you say this is the worst cage ever witnessed/used. Exactly what about this cage didn't you like?
You also mentioned that your 6 year old Jackson died because of this system. I thought 6-8 years was the normal life expectancy of a male jackson. You didn't mention what it was about this system that caused your jackson to die. Could it be possible that he simply died of old age?
Not meant to be confrontational in any way, I'm just curious as I've never used this product.

I have a cham condo that i bought of a reptile store here in florida. I brought it home, found a suitable place to put it in, and bpught a couple of plants. And my veileds LOVE IT!!!! I love it too, because since then, my chameleons have tamed down a great lot, and they NEVER show dark, or stressful coloration. The thing has its own dripper, and even has fixturres perfect for reptisuns. Cleaning is so easy, because most droppings fall on to a bowl, that also catches water from the drip system. All in one, plus the large cage size is a plus!!! I will give it an A- because my male veild sometimes escapes...

Just curious, what about crickets, can you keep them from escaping? I think it looks realy neat, but its a little pricy for me, I'd rather make my own cage. I've been thinking of making a cage like it, anyone have any ideas? It will be a while before I need it, but planning ahead never hurts!

What i do to feed my cham is to feed them one by one... take the hind legs off, then put in a a branch or something. The moving cricket will catch your cham's attention and oyu can watch him hunt. But it takes alot of time, so sometimes i just cup feed. The crickets can stay in the bowl, they slip down, and its easy to keep them in. But cham poop falls all over it, so i find it icky. You could try cleaning it, but im too lazy...

The nice thing about "Chameleon Condo" is the guarantee. Read it, and you may want to try the cage out.

We build all of our own cages (and bunches for others too). But, I have always admired the design of the cham condo... it IS a neat concept!

The only minor problem is that chams CAN escape (some will jump out of trees). So, you have to consider whether you can risk the possible escape - if you have cats, dogs, etc. that could endanger the animal, for example. It all depends on the environment, the cham and how responsible the care-giver is. If I were a single cham owner, no other animals in the house - I'd use one in a heartbeat.

Hope this helps,
