Chameleon tiny enough for 30 by 30 by 18

[Mountain Dragon]

So in January I’m building a 6by6by3 (feet) cage for my veiled and I will have a empty cage that’s 30 inches by 30 inches by 18 inches is there a spieces of chameleon I could home in here?

Leaf chameleon lol idk

 

[Thatcher]

Maybe pygmy but idk much about them

Ideally all species should be in a large enclosure at least 2*2*4 ft.

Ahhh okay I was wishing their would be one sadly I have no freaking clue why I didn’t just get a 2*2*4 cage to start ugh

I’ve never done research on crested geckos but I wonder if one could be sizable for his old cage

 

[Thatcher]

You could get some anoles

 

[Thatcher]

Maybe a crested

Well yeah there’s Pygmy Bearded and they can’t go in a 2’x2’x4’ they’re too small so you’d have to have something smaller cause they’d get lost lolol maybe you can put an anole or two in there! You could make a nice little setup for green and bahaman anoles

Get My mourning Geckos, they chirp non stop. lol
They fight a lot too, it's fun to watch.
Sometimes It's a battle royale.
They never hurt each other though.
like not even a scratch.
I started with 2, now I have about 25+ adults and about 30 babies..
And 30+ eggs still incubating
It's crazy, they go for $50+ at petshops, but I can't seem to sell them even at $5 for an adult,
and $3 a baby.
I was even giving some away at some point, but nobody would take them.

But yeah, they're fun little geckos.
Especially when they escape, catching them it's a game of it's own.

There's an idea here for a (potentially) valuable herp-keeping resource.
If this already exists, I have not seen/stumbled across it: a database/spreadsheet/table of reptiles and their recommended enclosure sizes (all with the 'as big as you can afford' proviso) and other requirements—not care sheets, etc. per se (they could be made available via links to existing/other resources). A general resource for quickly finding/ruling out potential situations like this one.

EDIT: Mountain Dragon, I would also look to some of the smaller herps—geckos, fence lizards, anoles, etc.

reptiles for small enclosures

You can put same chameleon species in a enclosure that size.

Carpet chameleons are a good start, just get captive bred. There’s several small chameleons, you just gotta do research.

Agreed, there's several species that could do well in that
