Bigger Enclosure?

[SmokeJoker]

Hello, I currently have a veiled chameleon who is about 4 months old. I'm asking if I should/could get him a bigger enclosure. The problem I have with the smaller one is that there is a lot of water on the bottom after each spraying. I have paper towels at the bottom to try to help stop this but it doesn't work very well. My cham loves hunting so I think he'll be fine in a bigger enclosure, also the bigger one I'm looking at will be the 2x2x4 enclosure and a water trey comes with it so the water won't collect on the bottom. So do y'all think im able to get a bigger enclosure or if I should stick with the smaller one for a little longer?

I would think if you're needing one anyways just order it. On the note of the age to size ratio I would think it would be ok to put a 4 month old in there. Just keep a close eye on the food it's eating in that size enclosure make sure it's able to find its food. Or cup feed.

Using an automatic mist system?

I don't have an automatic mist system but I will get one for the bigger cage when I get it. I tried cup feeding and he only ate 2 or 3 at a time

i have the same problem with the water build up at the bottom, it is very dangerous for your cham so i would get a new terrarium soo. I just bought a new one today, same size too!

How many live plants are in there? Possible over misting?

Sry for the late response the past couple days have been hectic. I currently have 2 live plants and a couple face vines.

I ordered mine the larger Zoo Med enclosure in the 24"x24"x48" size. I got it from the petmountain.com website. If you give them your email address they send you a 10% off your order coupon. When I used the coupon code my cage was under $90 with free shipping. It got to me in five days too.

You can always use a drainage tray underneath the cage with a big bucket to held the water.
