enclosure question

spiderchick Jan 12, 2006 02:18 PM

Hi, I'm new to the chameleon business, so I wanted to ask the experts a question. I've been reading and asking around about the best set-up for a veiled cham. and I'm considering this enclosure: http://www.petsolutions.com/default.aspx?ItemID=96300280&EID=GO5003746&SID=GOOGLE
Is this a good one? Any other tips? I'll take all the advice I can get.
Thanks!

That will be sufficient for a hatchling to juvenile Chameleon. The top size of 30”x18”x30” is still a little small for an adult, especially as adult male. My minimum size for an adult female is 36" x 32" x 20". This size allows the Chameleon a lot of roaming and climbing room. For a male, I suggest a 40" x 36" x 24" minimum. You can make your own cage from supplies found at your local hardware store. This way you aren't confined to use the sizes you find in these stores.

I would opt for a reptarium over the 'fresh air habitat.' I don't personally like those because they are not wide enough. Check out reptariums, they have optional plastic trays to keep in water etc that are really helpful. You can probably find a decent priced one on ebay.
