Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm interested in the chameleon condo. Has anyone had any experience with them?

If you do a search you will find other threads on it. I personally have known people whom have used it and did not like it because the animal would jump off the "condo". I have also heard (on other threads) that the lights melt and there were problems with the dripper. You would be better off getting and usuing an all Aluminum screen cage for your Chameleons.

I'm with Rob on this one. They look really cool but they're impractical. Misting makes a real mess unless extreme care is taken. Since IMO, chronic dehydration is the main killer of chams these days, optinmal hydration is the single most important thing to consider and IMO it's the main drawback of the condo or anytthig like it. Get a real cham, cage.

I personally own two Chameleon Condos, and do not recommend them.
The drippers will crack and leak with time. One of my condos
had a short in the wiring and almost caught my house on fire.
Last, but not least the chameleons will try to escape by dropping
off the condo. This can result in injuries. Needless to say my
condos are in the attic now. Why don't you try building a cage.
The bigger the better, and use vinyl or PVC coated mesh.
