Hello everyone,
I currently have a 4.5 month old male Panther Chameleon. He is about 3.5 inches long, not including his tail. He is currently set up in a 15 gallon enclosure, and is doing well. He eats ~12 1/4" gutloaded crickets and ~4 small Reptiworms daily. He is very active and growing quickly. I have an XL Reptibreeze cage for him, but I fear it will be way too big until he is almost an adult. In the mean time, I went and purchased a 38 gallon Flexarium, and set it up with a drainage system, several horizontal branches and live plants. I have tested it the past few days and can keep the humidity between 40 and 70% (peaking after misting) with a basking temperature of ~83 degrees. I have a feeding cup attached near a branch that the worms cannot get out of. I put him in there yesterday to have a wander, and he seemed to love it.
My question is, do you think he is too young/small to find the crickets in the flexarium? I would rather have him in the flexarium to give him more space but I fear he will not find the crickets. What are your opinions?
I would appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks in advance
