Small chameleons

I am new in the chameleon world but I have had reptiles all my life. I recently purchased a veiled chameleon and I'm gna say it's already an addiction for me. The question I have is with the overhaul I gave my new veiled I have a smaller 18x18x30 cage. Is there any smaller chameleons I could house in this for there entire life? I would like to have a colorful smaller breed chameleon if thats possible. I have read about a few but thought I'd ask here where people have more knowledge about housing and sizes than what I can read online. Thanks for the info in advance.

Try a carpet chameleon. They stay small and are wonderfully colorful.

Are you sure your cage isn't 18x18x36? Mine is, a Reptibreeze "Large" (vs. the XL), and my answer to your very same question was a baby quad. I got mine from Ponders:

I was a bit intimidated by the idea of a montane with higher humidity requirements, but I set up an ultrasonic humidifier as well as misting and he's been doing great for the 12 weeks I've had him. Growing like crazy, very interesting looking animal, like all the quads.

You are right it's 18x18x36. Def like the looks of the carpet cham

Excellent choice, you will be happy, I promise. I will tell Kevin (Doolet1) to shoot you a pm.

Yea another great smaller chameleon is the Flap Neck and pygmy leaf chameleon which I look into for a very time. The flapnecks get around a foot (about 2 inches bigger than a carpet chameleon) and the pygmy leafs will grow no larger than 3 inches!
