I was noticing the similarity, too, but the latches and handle are a little different on ours. It's a mystery... :)

Cool--good to know. I'll get that one. The biggest one, I think says it's for 24x24x45, though ours is 48", since the height shouldn't be a factor. Thank!

Ah--I saw that one and was concerned because it says, "Actual tray size is 24.75 x 23.5 x 1" and ours is actually 24" so that 23.5" measurement worried me. How does that work out?

Hello All, My veiled has a new 24x24x48 inch cage and we're looking for a drainage tray that will fit it. We're not exactly sure of the brand because we bought it off of Craig's list, but we've measured it and it is exactly 24"x24" with no rounding. We were planning on buying the large...

Thanks! I have a ceramic bulb that increases the heat, but also kills the humidity in the process. Can you recommend a good wattage for a 48" cage?

Hello, I'm happy to update that Marcel now has a lovely new 24x24x48 cage with a huge, lovely natural pothos "tree" (it's fashinones into a plant that goes all the way to the top of the cage) and horizontal perches at different levels, etc... and I'm very excited for him to be in his new home...

Ah-I'll have to get some for Marcel! Thanks for the dietary advice-I wondered about the worm thing. That's pretty much the same way I came upon Marcel. He seemed pitiful in a Petsmart. I'm pretty obsessed with the little guy--he really has grown on me!

Hungry girl! What kind of worm was that? I've only tried mealworms, so far, because I was advised that other types of worms were too hard for them to digest. Any advice on that? Also, that flower in the foreground looks great!

I'm with you on the substrate thing. I'm definitely going to ditch that when I get his new home. I've fallen in love with the Dragon Strand cages and love the idea of the ledges, etc., and I'll find it much more affordable if I don't have to go with the Clear Side version since that adds on a...

Marcel and I have a thing where I offer him a cricket, worm, etc., on a little plastic spoon. He eats out the spoon, but even my hand getting that close to him makes him hiss at me. He'll hiss even as he's going for a cricket. I'm pretty sure he'd take an opportunity to literally bite the hand...

That's good to know Alexander1. I appreciate the info and it makes me think I'd be okay to go with screened again. Btw, your cham in the profile pic is gorgeous.

They were dropping down to anywhere from 70 degrees to maybe 60 in the basking area and it was recommended to me by someone at a pet store to do that. Luckily, I saved the initial bulb for heating that I can switch back to. Actually, my humidity was better before I switched over to that ceramic...

Thank you so much for your responses. And, FLChamMom, I have definitely found him to be feisty and territorial! I'm now updating cages and have asked whether another screen is preferable or if a hybrid's the way to go. There's so much to learn with these guys!

Hi Jeff, I'll be happy to try to answer all of those questions. Chameleon info: Marcel is an 8 month old male Veiled who I've had since he was about 2 months old I do not handle him much because he's responded negatively to human contact since he was a baby and I don't want to stress him as...

Hi, I live slightly more in the upstate are of SC near the NC border. I currently have a screen cage for my Veiled and am wondering if I need a hybrid cage with some solid sides, instead. I have a fogger and a mister and my set up's still not maintaining enough humidity. Is there something I...
