Trash Can Chameleon Cage

Turn a trash can into a habitat for your chameleons! Get a large, plastic trash can. Cut out most of the center of the lid, use the cutout as a template to cut out a piece of screen to cover the hole, and glue the edges of the screen onto the inside of the lid. Cut out the front of the trash can, cut a piece of screen to cover the hole, and glue the screen in place. Carefully cut or burn a hole in the side of the trash can and glue a fogger hose into the hole. Place planters and clean branches inside the habitat and set a heat lamp and light on top of the lid screen, ensuring that the heat lamp is fully on the screen to prevent it from melting the lid or glue.
