Questions about Housing..

[Houdinithevelied]

I was thinking about completely redoing my 8 month old Chams. House and i need suggestions. Right now he is in a 36 gallon mesh cage with fake leaves and branches. He has a drip system with a reptile water bowl to catch what water he doesnt drink. He also has the reptile carpet in the bottom of his cage.. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Well first of all I need to say that your cham is going to get very stressed out if you totally rearrange his cage. Get some REAL plants in his cage like hibiscus, pothos, and umbrella plants. They will keep the humidity up more, to. And also please measure you dimensions if you can. A good size cage for a male veiled is 24X24X48.

ok. i will give dimensions as soon as possible.

I would get a 24x24x48 all screen cage

I would get rid of the bowl, and carpet.

should i have any thing in the bottom of his cage? carpet or anything..?

If it a mesh bottom you could use paper towels and change them out everyday. I have a PVC bottom so it just wipes clean, real easy.

So what are the dimensions?

 

[Houdinithevelied]

The dimensions are 30x17x30.. i think i did that right.. Length Height and width right?

your cage should be tall 24(w)x24(d)x48(h)

Really consider getting a cage 24X24X48. You really need it!
