enclosure size question

Hi just wondering so I know for when the time comes, will an aluminium screen enclosure size 24"x24"x48" be sufficient for say a 1 year old male veiled and be suitable for him for the rest of his life?

yes but remember bigger is always better, but make sure you furnish the whole cage. If you have a tree that will fit the cage you are talking about dont go get a bigger cage and put the same tree in it.

I agree the cage will work well with a veiled that is practically full grown. Just be sure that there are vines and/or plants that enable your veiled to reach all parts of the cage. All of my adult panthers are in cages that are 2' x 2' x 4' which allows them plenty of room to roam but does not make hunting impossible. Remember that height is always better than width for chameleons. Keeping in mind that you don't want a cage that is restricting side to side.

I say you can even move him there when he's about 6 months and older (or if he becomes quite big).
that cage is perfectly fine as the permanent cage.
It is quite big you know.
