    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm gathering up as much info as i can concerning both panthers and veiled chameleons and i'm having trouble finding info on juvies or even babies that deals with cage size. I'm new to the cham world but i know that with certain snakes it's not a good idea at all to start them out in a large cage......does the same apply for chams? From what i read, bigger is better as long as there is plenty of vegetation for climbing and hiding....and as long as climbing vines, rests, and perches are the appropriate size for the cham's foot. I'm planning on building a 30"x30"x72" for an adult, but i was going to buy one of those reptariums for the little guy if i needed to...just didnt know what size.


Cliff's notes: Is there such thing as too big?.....as long as all other features and needs are looked after.
 
The only thing i can say is that if you are caging a baby chameleon it is not a good idea to get too large of a cage. because you will need to keep an eye on it and a baby will be hard to find in a large cage. other than that i think the bigger the cage the better as long as your cham can find food
 
Howdy,

I raised my 3 month old panther in a aprox 16x16x28 screen enclosure until he was closer to about 6 months(?) Then he moved into a 24x24x48 where he has been for about a year. The smaller enclosure was easier for the little guy to free-range feed and it allowed me to use a smaller ficus yet still get adequate heat and UVB onto his perch areas.

The 24x24x48 setups:

great set up. i didnt even think about the free range feeding aspect of it. that does make a lot more sense. I feel kinda foolish for asking it now, but i guess better to ask now than learn on my own by and jeopardizing the animal. I'll probably be waiting until the SC show in jan at the earliest to get a cham, but it'll prolly be a little later in spring. any recomended breeders for veileds?
