enclosure size for male veiled

[ssuttondt]

I will be getting a baby male veiled in a couple of days! I currently have a 18x18x36 cage for him, which I have temporarily made smaller until he grows. I have read that males really need a 2x2x4 when they are adults. How long will my current cage be sufficient?

He should be fine until 4-5 months, but just remember even larger then 4ft is good too! Bigger is better with chameleon cages

Thanks! That's what I wanted to know.

Agree totally! The bigger the cage the more naturally your cham can move around between temp and humidity ranges, hunt, etc. More rewarding for you too, and larger cages mean making better use of nice large foliage plants.
