Well, the plan as of now is to use 3/4"x1.5" poplar wood for the frame of an 18x18x30 cage with window screen and a hinged door. I have a good indoor/outdoor latex based paint from Rust-Olium that is pretty much water resistant which I will use on all wood. The floor will have a thick vinyl 'rug' rather like a Softtray.
I have a 24" Repti-Glo 10.0 UVB bulb (still need to find a fixture), A daylight bulb for heat, some BioVine and smooth branches (made for birds), many fake vines, and the plan to include hibiscus and pothos plants.
I can easily make a dripper, but a misting system looks like it might be out of my range at the moment. I really want a HabbaMist, but $40 is a bit much seeing that the Cham itself could cost up to $100.
So, any comments on this plan? Would it work or does it sound too iffy?
OH... And I keep forgetting to ask, but would a bird cage work for a juvi veiled Cham?? They don't rust, great ventilation, they look good, water would get through fine, and I plan on making worms of different types his main diet so no escape issues (crickets would be offered from time to time, but mostly by tong/hand). What do you think?
