The size

[duquen550]

Hi, I am about to get a veiled chameleon wich is going to be only few weeks, and I was wondering wich is the size of the cage should I use and when should I change it to a bigger one.

When you say a few weeks, how many weeks? I still have my 6 week old baby veileds in a 10 gal fish tank. They won't move to a screen cage for another 3 weeks. However if you use a 10 gal be careful to monitor temp and humidity closely. babies can get too hot very quickly. Good luck.

no, i would wait untill he is abot 8 moths till you move him to adult sized cage.

, so it will be somthing like this,
??- 5month: 10gallon fish tank
5 month-13month: 8x18x36 screen cage
13 month -....: 24x24x48 screen cage

yep that sounds right, once he is just under a year and got some good size on him than move him into adult sized cage!
