Dragon Strand -VS-Zoo Med ReptiBreeze cages

I have done some research online and I was wanting advice on which enclosure would be best. I have a male veiled chameleon that is aprox. 3 years old. I want to get him the 24x24x48. I would greatly appreciate any advice or comments.

I have the Dragonstrand breeder series and I like it for the divider and the ease of set up - as far as hanging plants and vines. Which make it easier to clean. I also like that it keeps the misting in the cage better than an all screen cage- It's a bit smaller than 24 x 24 x 48 - I have my flapneck in it - I went for a bigger cage for my panther but mostly because I've found that I like the smaller species and his cage has a partition so I can use it for two - hopefully in the far away future.

Here's a fan of the XL Reptibreeze - had my year old male Veiled in it now for about 6 weeks and he is absolutely thriving and seems to be really chilled and happy.

I find it easy to clean, and it looks good as well (its in my lounge, and sits in well with my furniture.)

I know that some people have had issues with the screen rusting, but I honestly have had no issues at all.

I found it amazingly easy to set up, just need a screwdriver.

Will definitely be getting another one for my Panther, when he is ready for his big boy cage.

I like the idea of the back and sides being solid but it is $80 more for a smaller cage. I know some won't like this but I am a chameleon lover and owner on a budget. Not only am I getting a new cage but a new misting machine and new UVB light. I am also ordering dubias in hope of starting my own dubia colony. I was thinking of adding hard plastic sheeting to the back and one side of an all screen cage. I want what is best Rebel but I have to budget my money I would really like to know the quality of the dragon strand all screen keeper series cages. Thanks for the replies.

I live in the UK, so it is harder for me to use an all screen cage and keep the temp and humidity up.

I have lined three sides of my Reptibreeze with heavy duty bubblewrap - which has been amazing. It stops my walls from getting wet when I mist, and keeps the humidity and temp just right. It is cheap, and easily replaceable when I clean, plus which my chameleon isn't at risk of breaking his claws when he climbs the sides.
