Hi,I have an all screen cage that is 20 inches tall,18 inches wide and 12 inches deep. Would it be to small for a baby Veiled chameleon? Thanks.

That size would be ok for a baby. When it gets full grown, might want to get the 26" x 24" x 12"

I don't know wether or not you keep your adults in that small of a cage but that is TINY. That's about how big I would use for a baby.
Yes the 20" tall cage is perfect for a hatchling up to 3 months of age. Depending on how good he/she is at hunting (if you let your food run free) and how good they are at getting around, at about 3-4 moths you should switch to the adult size.
THE CORRECT ADULT SIZE (anything bigger is much better!)
IS MINIMUM
4 feet tall
2 feet wide
2 feet deep
made entirely of screen
babies' cages do not NEED screen but it is beneficial. they do well in tanks (screen tops of course) until about the 3-4 months mark.
good luck with your new guy!

btw make sure you have done your research (2-3 months' worth ) before you get the cham.
