My understanding is that it is safe. I hope it is since I just built an outdoor basking cage out of it myself.

My guess is that PVC is unsafe for rabbits and other animals that will chew on it.

Maybe you should ask this on the Chameleon forum if you have not already. I think I'll swing over there now to see if you have and if there are any responses.
