Need opinion fast!

I just ordered a 24x24x48 Reptology cage, but apparently they are out of stock. for an Excellent price, Randall is a veiled and will be 5 months old in a few days and he needs a bigger cage. This is the email I recieved from the company and would like opinions of what I should do, wait two weeks or get the smaller one? What would you do?

We normally ship this item directly from the supplier but they are all out of stock. So is our distributor. It will be 2 weeks before the cage you ordered can be shipped to you. We do have several of the 18x18x36 in stock here. We could ship it today. We could ship the 24x24x48 Reptology cage to you in 2 weeks, or you could get the smaller cage now, or we can refund the entire amount back to your credit card and cancel the order. Let us know which of the 3 options you would prefer.

I would wait the 2 weeks for the big one.

I would go elsewhere or wait for the bigger cage. The other one is completely inadequate for a male veiled once he gets a little bigger. You'll regret not having a 4' cage in another couple months when he's enormous and looks huge in the 3' cage!

Have you checked DIY or LLLReptile's prices? They usually have pretty decent prices, especially if they're running sales for "cyber week."

Thanks, I called them and decided to wait until they ship one in 2 weeks

You won't regret it! You probably would have found yourself ordering a large cage in a few months anyway once you saw how much more room he would need full-grown.
