what can go in a 175 gallon repterium
how many veids can go into the cage males/females
how big are adult veids on average

Is this good for a cage set up
4 ficus trees
compressed mulch for substance
a water dish
a 72 in vine wrapped around inside of cage

are veids a good beginer species for chamelons

-175 is good for one veiled chameleon.
-They should be kept singly unless cages are of massive proportions.
-Males ~16-24 inches total length, females can be substantially smaller.

-It would be good to have a variety of non toxic plants, and even edible plants as veileds can and will accept fruits and veggies and sometimes eat the plants.
-No need for substrate, and it can be somewhat dangerous to use it.
-Chameleons should not have waterbowls, not even "just in case", they require very high humidity and long misting and dripping water to simulate rain and downpours.

-They are a common starter chameleon.

can fisher chameleons be kept together in that size cage because they are only 7-8 inches

Size is not the issue in most species when concerning cohabitation, its that chameleons are primarily very solitary creatures. The stress of cohabitation is only trouble Especially(!) for new keepers who do not understand the complex signals that chameleons show their keepers when they live alone, let alone the signals they give when the opposite or another is present....

If you want chameleons that live together look into keeping R.brevicadatus, the best starter pygmy chameleon. though for them you would not be using a reptarium.
