Housing panther cham and veiled?

[duke10990]

I currently have a female veiled cham in a 2ftx2ftx4ft and I have recently come to LOVE ambilobe panthers!! Due to space constraints I wouldnt be able to get another cage to house a panther by itself. Would it be a bad idea to divide my 2ftx2ftx4ft cage in half with a divider so they cant see each other and keep them both in their? Will 2ftx1ftx4ft be enough for them when their older? Please offer some ideas!!!! Thank you guys!!!

I personally wouldn't do it - it may work when they are younger, however you would definitely need separate, full-sized cages for when they are older. Just think of the space they have in the wild!

No, if you dont have the space to properly house a panther it's best for the chameleon that you don't get it.

My panther is pretty good at using his entire cage. I think he'd be crushed if he had to give half of it up! Honestly though whats one more cage? Put them side by side and she'll barely notice a difference!

What size cage does a ambilobe panther require as an adult?

male- 2x2x4.

female- can do a bit smaller.

Ok sounds good, do panthers get as big as veileds?

Little smaller.

But depends on genetics. I saw a panther a fwe days ago that was much larger than my 1.5 yr old male veiled.

panthers get thicker though. in the legs and tail.
