New owner,

[Oski]

Hi all im new to the forum, from the uk

Looks really good here

Im a new owner of a young veiled,

I Have a question about the viv i was sold with the chameleon its an exo terra, all glass with vent in the front, and a mesh top, this what was i recommended, but since reading on the web have found that they are not ideal,and all mesh is better

Is this setup going to cause the chameleon any problems? i can get some pics up if needed, im a bit confused in why i was sold this viv when i even saw all mesh ones on the shop? any help would be appreciated,

In the UK glass and wood enclosures Are used with great success because of the weather. However, when he or she is older you will need a bigger cage. The new cage just needs good air flow like the exo Terra.

If you think you can keep the temp and humidity up in a screen one, buy a 18x18x36 if you have a female, and a 24x24x48 if you have a male.

Yeah but guess what, us folk in the NE have colder weather than in the UK and we still use screen cages we just have to be a lttle more careful that's all. I would not keep any of my chams in a glass cage at all. Too much chance for a URI. Not enough ventilation.

Do I really need to post a link to Chris Anderson's thread? Glass is fine people!

I would like to say that not all glass is fine, only well ventilated terrariums are fine. Aquariums are not.
