East Meets West is not publishing a broad retail-style catalog yet. We are building a smaller, supplier-verified import program starting with chameleon cages and specialty reptile enclosures.
Current import lane
The first serious product lane is baby and juvenile chameleon housing. The goal is to locate the actual manufacturer, verify quality, then lock down sizes, materials, packaging, and wholesale landed cost before anything is offered publicly.
Small ventilated enclosures for raising baby and juvenile chameleons. Exact dimensions and supplier drawings are still being confirmed.
We are comparing full-screen builds against PVC/screen hybrids so the line can cover ventilation, humidity control, visibility, and shipping durability.
Configuration reviewA pivoting lower service door is being evaluated as a possible East Meets West design feature for drainage, cleaning, and safer daily maintenance.
Prototype conceptMaterial configurations
These are research categories, not confirmed public SKUs. Supplier quotes and sample testing will decide what becomes a real offer.
| Configuration | Use case | Questions to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Full screen enclosure | Maximum airflow for baby and juvenile chameleons. | Frame gauge, screen grade, zipper/door quality, shipping damage rate. |
| PVC back, screen front/sides | Better visual backing and humidity stability while preserving airflow. | Panel thickness, heat tolerance, cleaning safety, screw retention. |
| Screen back, one PVC side | Display or rack placement where one solid side controls misting overspray. | Left/right orientation, replaceable panels, minimum custom order. |
| PVC back and both PVC sides | Higher humidity and more enclosed presentation. | Ventilation balance, mold resistance, front viewing area, assembly time. |
| Display screen front, PVC rear | Retail or breeder display where front visibility matters most. | Door strength, latch choice, sagging, branded packaging options. |
| Pivoting lower service door | Drainage, cleaning, feeder access, and maintenance without disturbing the animal. | Leak control, hinge durability, patent/design conflict check, factory tooling cost. |
Supplier verification
Alibaba contacts may be distributors, trading companies, or factory sales reps. Before pricing goes public, each supplier needs to be rooted back to the real factory and checked against documents, samples, and repeatable production quality.
Nomoy, spelled N-O-M-O-Y. Contact name remembered: Selena. Needs confirmation whether the contact is factory-direct, a distributor, or a trading company.
Business license, factory address, product drawings, export history, material specs, packing specs, sample invoice, warranty terms, and Alibaba verification details.
No public offer until samples are checked for assembly, screen tension, latch strength, drainage, packaging damage, cleaning safety, and repeat quote accuracy.
Until suppliers and sizes are confirmed, this page should describe East Meets West as a wholesale sourcing and import program, not a ready-stock retailer with a full catalog. Hidden research pages can live on the VPS, but sensitive supplier pricing should stay off public URLs or be password protected later.
Wholesale and supplier discussions
We are currently reviewing chameleon cage manufacturers and specialty reptile enclosure factories. Wholesale and supplier conversations are welcome while the catalog is being built.
