Moving Ziggy to New Enclosure - Advice?

[AZJ0SH]

I built a custom enclosure out of a piece of furniture in my house, it's a 7' tall wooden entertainment enclosure that was used to hold electronics, etc. I spent weeks sealing the enclosure, making sure it was water tight and everything

Today I noticed some of the MDF board it's made out of is starting to expand, and I am having drainage issues, so I think it's time to built a new enclosure.

My male veiled Ziggy is about 6-7 months old now, would moving him to a new enclosure be very stressful?

My plan is to build a larger enclosure, and put more effort into the design for the drainage and interior. I plan on building an enlsorue that is 3' X 4' X 2', so the front would be 3ft wide, 24" from the wall, and 4ft tall. I know it's a little larger than the standard 24x24x48 but I think having it a bit wider would great for him, more room to move around.

So basically I am just trying to figure out if that's the best option for me, or if it's too large, and if it will stress him out too much to move him.

Thanks.

Moving him might stress him out a little, but just give him time to adjust when you do move him! Make sure you have everything else in place before the time comes of Little Ziggy moving into his new home. lol When i first got Vlad (my Veiled Chameleon, he's only 2 months old at the moment) i just let his adjust, and he was fine with it after a few day, just chilling enjoying life!

Hope this helped! Good luck with building the cage by the way! I was thinking about building one myself sooner or later, think it'll be fun, and a good thing to learn!

Sincerely, Martika

Ok I think Ziggy may be a bit on the upset side for a few days but then HE WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!! Is sounds great because at his age he will take over a bigger space and make it his own. That equals a happy cham.

I don't think a cage can ever be big enough!!

That's not too bad, I can deal with a couple of days. He's been a real punk lately too, from what I read on here I hope it's just a "teenager" phase.

He's growing so much, and seeing him in his current enclosure makes me want him to have much more open space. I wish I could free-range, but my cats would make a treat out of him quick.

Never! No such thing as too big!
