Rational? Should i do this? Need to know asap

Alright, time for a question. Should i move my male to the large enclosure, and move my new female into a smaller, hanging system? both are fully set up for chameleon care!


Just thinking that because the hanger has no substrate, and that the male, being older and larger has less of a chance of impaction in the fully planted larger cage.

What do you think?

Keep in mind that if either of them have parasites they could be transmitted to the other one.
Everything should be kept seperate for chameleons until you are sure they are clean.
I keep everything seperate no matter what for mine.

I would leave the first one where it is at, and put the new one in the new cage.
Then if I wanted to move the other one I would get it its own cage.

that cage turned out pretty nice!

if both ur chams are CB there should be little threat of them having parasites and transmitting them.

have fun with the mold btw ;P i tried using soil in the bottom of one cage once. turned out nasty and messy. i stick with potted.

i think moving your chams into cages with no substrate is a great idea, if you have em set up already then you are ahead of the game

Wow that is one super cage!! I have a couple of chams that would love them. Now about your chams, how big is each of them? The new little angel looks tiny. I have the same hanging cage. That is not designed for a very large cham. It would work for the baby,for a while. But as I think about it, those hanging cages cone in 2 sizes. I would not keep the baby in the huge beautiful cage unless I divided it so it was a good bit smaller for her. Either way no matter cham is in it I would get rid of the substrate.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I wouldn't worry about the substrate. We keep buckets full of dirt or sand in our female's cages and trust them with it, but don't trust them with soil on the ground? I do agree with Laurie that your female is too young, your male would take advantage of the size of the cage. He'd absolutely love it! And maybe in the future you can divide it and have both of them in there.
