Enclosure help

[Breeze]

Well, for when I get my first Cham i'm going to get this kit, http://www.screameleons.com/setup_kit_video.htm but when the time comes for when he's an adult, should I purchase up the 18x18x36 or 24x24x48?

It depends which type of chameleon you get. If it's a male panther, veiled, or larger you will need the 24x24x48. If it's a female you could get away with the 18x18x36. Most smaller species like jacksons could do well in one also. Smaller chams then those like carpets and others could be even a tiny bit less.

As a general rule.. bigger is always better. (unless they can't find a basking spot, water, or food.)

I would go with the 24x24x48 for a male. Bigger enclousure have more room for your cham to roam and to add more plants and branches
