This feeder was used off on for about 6 months. Still have it's original box as well. It was not left in the cage for more than a feeding session. It is in great condition! The only thing that I can really see wrong is that there is some very small surface 'rust' on the tiny screws that hold the column in place, and a very small area of 'rust' at the very top of the column (nothing major, and does not effect the performance or sturdiness/strength of this feeder) Comes with unused Feeding Tongs and Feeding Tweezers (That originally came with this feeder) This was used in a chameleon cage and the chameleon LOVED it! I'd place the crickets/Dubai roaches inside and as soon as they started to climb up that center column the chameleon went crazy and began plucking them off. So much easier for him to eat. Please be aware that this feeder has a fully open bottom - If you have a small Chameleon the opening at the bottom would need to be blocked off somehow to avoid your chameleon climbing inside the steel mesh column and becoming stuck. Selling this "as is" - "as pictured" - No returns. Please ask any questions before purchasing.
