hey guys!
so I've been looking for cages and I found one for 150 with the light fixtures and everything and the size is 2' x 2' x 4'. do you guys think is a good deal?

The question is what kind of cage, what condition,what kind of light fixtures and how will you know the age of the bulbs, if they are part of the deal? look on LLL's website, they have great cages, well made, don't rust & easy to put together. Light fixtures are cheap at Lowe's, home depot, even walmart.

Most package deals sold from reptile stores or breeders are not reaally a great deal. Buy a cage and get the rest yourself like laurie says. She knows what she's talking about.

no the cage im buying it from a guy that had a chameleon before. the bulb i was going to change it any ways because i want to make sure that they are new. the cage is wooden frame. but I want to see it first if not I would def do it like you guys are doing it thank you guys!!

imo, not that great of deal. like previous posters have pointed out, there are a lot of unknowns and the savings isnt that great. as a new keeper you will have enough of a challenge with all new equipment.things to consider; its possible he could be getting rid of the cage cause the cham that was in it died from a parasitic infection?. plus, as previously pointed out, there is no way to verify the age of the bulbs and in all probability they are at least over 6 months old. plus the price isnt that great. 2x2x4'cages are on sale at lll reptile right now for $80, a new 2' reptisun is about $20, home depot fixture is about $20 and that still leave $30 to cover shipping with change left over,and you would have all new stuff. doesnt sound like that great of deal to me. jmo

thank you guys! for the advice. so you think that a 24 x 24 x 48" is good for a veiled chameleon?
