Housing question

louiscamp Dec 13, 2004 03:03 PM

I have four baby cresteds currently housed in a large chameleon type screened cage. I want to move them into thier own cages. Would those Plastic Terrariums work? Which would be a better size 14.5" Wide x 8.5" Deep x 10" High or 17.75" Wide x 12" Deep x 7" High?

Thanks...

Go for the larger......then you will most likely be able to keep them in those untill u can tell which ones are males/females.

So bigger but not as tall is better?

Like the picture below...

Sorry no i misread. I did't even look at the heights. Go with the taller one.

I'd probably go with the smaller one for now. It seems like the smaller the cage, the faster they grow. I keep my babies in the small size, two per container, until they're about 4 months old. Then I either keep them one per small container or two per medium container.

Anthony;

There are three or four different sizes of these, do you use the largest one?
