So after being fascinated by the concept of outdoor enclosures, and particularly how they can allow in wild food I built a prototype for green anoles. They were by far the worst species I could have chosen cause the darned things can fit into the tiniest crevices!
LWH 2 x 2 x 4 with PVC frame. Windowscreen and hardware cloth twist tied to frame and also sealed using Loctite adhesive and Polyseamseal caulking. Wooden frame around Lexan door with lock. Won't bet on it being escape proof yet...haha. I have planted sweet pepper, strawberry offsets, and an unknown vine under it to grow up into the cage and provide much needed foliage. Whole thing sits on several concrete slabs that hopefully will keep the anoles from slipping out from the bottom. I dunno what I will do when they start to lay eggs...guess I will remove those in a seperate tiny screen enclosure if I wish to raise babies. ATM one male and 3 females.
