What kind of cage should I get?

[SaraSondermann]

I have a veiled chameleon that will soon need its adult cage. I was wondering if any of you have suggestions on what kind to get. I heard screen cages are good, but I'm a little worried about keeping the humidity up in them. Do any of you know of any good websites where I can buy really good cages? Let me know. Thanks!

DIY and Tikitiki Reptiles (both are sponsors on here) are the ones that I looked at the most, but there are other sponsors on here that sell cages as well. I ended up getting the XL from Tikitiki because I could order it in black (wasn't sure if you could order a color other than silver from DIY). The only thing I don't like about it is that it does not have a handle, but I could always add one myself if I really wanted to. To help with humidity (and keep walls from getting wet) I have plastic sheeting on the two sides that are up near the wall (it's in the corner). I keep about a foot uncovered at the top of the sides though for more air circulation. And I have a humidifier in addition to spraying, and dripping, etc.

DIY and lllreptile have good cages. I have (2) from lllreptile right now.

As long as you keep live plants in the enclosure and mist a couple times per day along with running a dripper for the guy for a couple hours a day, you should be just fine on your humidity levels.

If you have humidity issues a Dragonstrand might be something to look at -
(the breeder cages) they have PVC sides - I just got one and set it up on a cart I got from Overstock-

I ordered another cart from amazon for 2 dollars less and a all screen cage arrived today from Canvas Chameleons - Nick was great and worked with me as I wanted a custom size so that it could go on the other side on it's own cart- the Amazon cart was an inch too small and the cage was done so I moved the Dragonstrand cage over and did a few alterations - the Overstock one fit the Dragonstrand perfectly - I didn't install the drawer so that I could add drainage at the bottom.

(I just put the custom cage from Canvas together - he made it so it's a perfect fit)
