Is 2x2x4 enclosure big enough for Panther?

Title says it. I wanted to go 4x2x4 but just didn’t have the space to make it work. Will the old 2x2x4ft enclosure be enough? I do have a large, well planted bathroom with all plants in front of a huge window that I can likely dial in for some safe free roaming fwiw.

Pretty minimal IMHO. I know people have done it, but I wouldn't cram a panther into that space myself. Especially a male. It is actually easier to create a nice variety of microclimates for a captive cham in MORE space. Consider a smaller species.

That is the minimum/standard size for an adult chameleon (panther, veiled & Jackson’s sized). Of course, bigger is better, but possibly the majority of chameleons are kept in this size. Having a free range area for him/her is always a bonus. Make sure to work on building and then maintaining trust so it will be easier and more pleasant for the both of you to transfer to the free range area. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/building-trust-with-your-chameleon.2396/
