Hi everyone. I've put this in the chameleon section, although it is part viv design as well. Anyway, I found this rather nice bit of furniture in my store room, and I think it would make a good cham enclosure. It needs a clean and sanding, but I think it'll look great with a mesh top, big mesh side vents and maybe a 50% glass 50% mesh front panel.

My question is, do you think it would be suitable for a single F.pardalis adult? I've read that 3 x 2 x 2 foot is the minimum, and preferably bigger. This is 36 inch high x 16 inch depth x 30 width....I think it might be too small in depth, what does everyone else reckon? Even if it is, I think it would be a good project, perhaps for a different species.

Thanks y'all

In the words of Mr Burns....eeeeexcellent!

I'm getting on the case. The reason being my fiancee is so in love with Albert that she feeds him, sprays him and gets him out to explore! I'm so surprised at her. She says she would really like me to build her an enclosure so we can keep another larger species! I think Panther's probably fit the bill....

could I waterproof the inside of this Karen? I know you've done a few DIY jobs...what about painting the inside with PVA and leaving it for a good while to fix?
