Females

How large of a cage would an adult female panther chameleon need? And what about a male?
Thanks =]

for a female i see no reason to go any bigger than a 36X24 .. they dont need as much room as males, an adult male i definitley say at least 48 inches tall

.. I'm in canada...

I see no reason not to give females as much space as males. They are just as active (often more active), and really not that much smaller in size. My females (and males) have cages that are 2 foot wide, 2 foot deep, 4 feet high. This is the minimum size I would recommend for any adult panther. Further, a larger cage also allows for a laying bin to bin within the normal cage, removing the necessity for a separate laying enclosure, and the stress of moving her to it.

ya you can do it however you want, females aren't as picky as males when it comes to space... that's why i said 36 inches is plenty for a female, but remember bigger is always better.......... actually if you want anything bigger you might have to custom build it or have it made
