Screen Cages

[vitog123]

Does anyone use full screen cages for their Chahoua?

In theory, I feel like it would be hard to manage humidity in a screen cage... unless the whole room had a humidifier or something?

Are you using screens, @vitog123 ?

I realllllly want to use them.
My room is being set up to withstand consistent high humidity levels so I think I could do it.
Im am so sick of exo-terra glass cages.

I think @TroysGeckos and @ET Geckos both use misting systems... or would you not need a misting system since the whole room is higher humidity?

I used some screen front cages at one point but honestly, these guys love to poop at the top of the cage and it was awful to clean the screen.

I use screen cages in my gecko room; no issues with humidity for past year, but have room humidifier if needed. I have never had poop issues on the screen, only finger painting their dinner which is a MF to scrub off the screens.

I think the biggest issue with screen cages is the rust over time. I know the tops of my cages have needed to be replaced or rusted after a while.

A misting system in the screen cages may be another issue if the surrounding area is not water proof. Water everywhere, yay!
