Does any one have a chameleon condo? Are they any good?

I was gonna get one and did a post on it like you and got very bad replys about. it I heard its hard to keep the heat in if the cham took a sudden plunge from the top then they would be gone and other things. But maybe someone with it will answer your q's. hope this helps.

i bet there only good in hmid and hot states liek florida and hawaii and california and such, heck its hard enough getting right temps and humidity in an all screen cage here, without any sides would be like a screen door on a sumbmarine

I have been using one, and am planning on switching to a Reptarium (just have to put it together) The only reason is because my chameleon (who is about 1.5 yrs old) kept leaving the condo to explore the downstairs area. It was kind of funny finding him in various places but I don't want to lose him or for him to get hurt. Not to mention he doesn't have his light/heat/moisture when he leaves the condo. Now that the temps are dropping up here in PA he has actually stopped leaving the condo, but I will be turning the heat on down there I wonder if he will start doing that again. That's why I got the Reptarium. But that's the only reason I'm switching, otherwise he seems to be doing just fine on it. He uses the whole thing from top to bottom, he eats, drinks, poops just fine.
