enclosure

[jagmom98]

I have an enclosure that is 15" x 15" x 7 foot tall. Would that be okay? I know it isn't ideal, but would it work?

First...what kind of chameleon do you have...some get bigger than others. Also how old is it? I start off with a smaller cage and as they grow change to a larger cage. I only have experience with a veiled so if it is anthing other than that I would wait to hear from the experts. 7 ft. would be good but my thoughts are it should be at least 24" if a veiled.

Depends more on the size and species of chameleon you’d like to keep, though 15” x 15” is very narrow for most all adult chameleons.

I have a veiled, male. I think he is about 8-10 months old. He is about 6 or so inches from nose to vent.

Adult veiled chameleons reach 18"-24" in length head-to-tail. I would say absolutely no way! He would hardly be able to turn around. The height is awesome, but that is far, far too narrow for a veiled to live in comfortably imo

thank you for the extra opinions. I will keep that in mind.

Minimum of 24X24X48" cage for adult male veiled, he's just about there.

is that nose to vent? Or nose to tip of tail? Just curious.
