Move into that cage!

[skully23]

I just got my new cage today. I wanted to know when it is okay to let my veiled chameleon move into it. First I will tell you about my chameleon then what I still need.
I will post a picture as soon as I set it up to get a good Idea about what to put in it and maybe you can give me an idea too.

I have a male veiled chameleon. He is around 4months old and I have had him since December 12th I believe.

I am buying a small ficus to fit the cage and possibly a potho to hang from the top too.
I still need to buy a bigger uv fixture and find more branches to climb all over.

Once I open this box and put it together I will repost under this post and then you can post(also size) link will be with that post

Once you have the new cage set up it should be ok to move him over. Its going to be "stressful" on him either way, jsut make sure the cage is 100% ready so you dont move him and then spend the next few days moving things around in the cage making it worse for him.

Give us some info on the new cage and setup

New info

The cage is 100gallon size: 16.5"x 30"x 48" tall. Its all mesh and towards the bottom is a clear 5inch tall liner that I added to keep water and things from coming out.

1 picture: his home now (2 foot tall, 2 foot width, 13inchs wide) it has been changed..
2 picture: Before it was set up
3 picture: front view
4 picture: front view upzipped
5 picture: Side view (take side ways so turn head lol)

Sorry for any blurry pictures. My camera kinda sucks and if you notice the red light or something else then...YES it has been changed


Will this work for his age or will it be to big?
Yes this time I am making sure everything fits good and I have everything before I move him in.

Give me some ideas to fill out the space once I get ficus and maybe a potho?

I also have a well grown umbrella (schefflera) Its around 10 years old. If I trimmed it up, could I stick it in the cage with a ficus and potho? Or too much plant?

Can someone tell me if this cage will be to big? Look at the pictures I gave to make an idea. I am buying the stuff for that cage tomorrow and saturday.
