Outdoor Basins????

adogunnaike Mar 12, 2009 03:23 PM

Anyone have any experience keeping Basins outdoors? I live in Miami and the temps/ humidity is fine, but Im curious to any other problems that could come with it. i live in a highrise building with a screened in balcony (no pest/ants, no birds/ cats, etc). I was thinking about putting one a screened enclosure. maybe a larger chameleon cage that already has the pvc coating. id also hook it up to a thermostat with some type of low wattage flood lamp for those chilly nights. I've had chondros in the past and i still have a vision 222 cage, but Id rather see a chondro/emerald in an outdoor set up. Any thoughts would gladly be appreciated.

If you check youtube and do a search for basin.. you'll see a setup Matt from GHI built outdoors for a basin emerald... very impressive.... seems a little labour intensive but well worth the effort....

Yea I saw it...very impressive to say the least. I was kinda hoping that he'd respond to this message and give me (or anyone else interested aswell) some insite.
