How long can a cham be in a 16x16x20 cage??

[chamycham]

Hi guys I was wondering about how much a baby cham about 2 months can last in a cage this size?

Thanks!


Oh! and could you give me some tips on my first cham??

We have to know what kind of cham.

 

[chamycham]

Veiled chameleon

Not very long. Maybe a few months tops. Also depends on what age it is. If its a juvi not but a few months.

I would have a veiled out of that cage a 2 1/2 months to 3 months. Not over 3 months tops.

Here is some very good veiled info.

Yeah I only kept my baby Veiled in a cage that size for about a month then got a nice large enclosure for her to roam around in. But if you do upgrade to a larger cage, i would recommend cup feeder to make sure he/she gets all of the food they need.

I would say don't wait longer than a month to upgrade him. Move up to a 18"x18"x36" open-air enclosure. When he's an adult (8-12 months) he'll be ready for a 2'x2'x4' enclosure. What kind of tips are you looking for?

Temp,HUMIDITY,etc.

Can a female veiled can be in a 24x24x36??

 

[chamycham]

I want the couple but right now the female is the one that needs less space so soon I will move to another house to have the couple,because for the male veiled I would make his own cage about 32x30x52

Heck yeah, bigger the better. As for tips...
-Humidity around 60% daytime, 80%+ at night
-Basking temps around 90 for males, around mid 80's for females
-Ambient temps of low to mid 70's

But I´m not sure yet maybe if I rearrange things around It wil probably fit (the DIY cage)
