louie and a new house???

jtryba Mar 07, 2004 04:08 PM

for all those that were concerned about my louie..... he is doing much better. i am a little concerned about the size of his cage. i think that maybe he doesn't have enough room to have a hot and cool zone. Does anyone have a plan to build your own or have any suggestions... i was thinking that maybe it would be easy to addapt the plan that we used for my columbian red tail and make something that is big enough for him. any suggestions (as long as they are not rude) are welcome... thanks

Go to http://www.adcham.com/html/husbandry/members-setups.html for pic of various set ups. Also, Linda Davison's book describes some VERY inexpensive tube cages that can be made from some wre mesh (hardware cloth) and plastic plant dishes for top & bottom. Not really aesthetically pleasing but very cheap.

Also make sure you check out David Pickering's site. He has some good ideas at http://chamownersweb.com/husbandry/encls1.htm

john lucas (cham paradise) has written an article for chameleon news(it's an online magazine) about building cages for small or baby chameleons, here is the link for it:
