    Idea for Natural Sun Light

    I was just thinking of something, build a cage that will fit in a window, and hang out of it so he can get 100% natural sun light while still being safe.




    There will be bars all around it obviously, and a sturdy floor. It would be very easy to remove and put up, held by its own weight and closing the window down on it.

    Thoughts?

    Great idea, of course, making sure no other animals can get close to the enclosure, (from outside as well as in).

    It would work just fine. I had a window enclosure years ago when I was rescuing iguanas. I had it mounted though so I could close the window and then open it allowing the iguana to go in and out at will.

    I just brought Yoshi out for some of this wonderful 90* weather, and he LOVED it. He was turning colors I've never seen him turn before. Which leads me to believe it's time for new UVB's!

    Just make sure the outer part of the enclosure is strong enough to keep out any would be predators.
