Depends on the species and gender of the cham....

im going to get a veiled cham and i dont know what gender, but if i get a male would it be too small?

Yes... and a bit tight for a female as well considering you have to account for a lay bin... You know the females will lay infertile eggs, yes?
You want a 2x2x4 minimum for a male and a female would do well to have the same size.

I prefer Dragon Strand cages... https://dragonstrand.com/
I love the hybrid version because the walls ensure that your not misting outside of your cage.

Where are you getting your cham from?

LOL Your right! good catch! They must be looking at the glass exo terra's

 

[Ares05]

@dakota18 Yes, if you are looking at the exoterra large extra tall glass cage that will be plenty of space.

Hmm I don't know how well its made. It also doesn't say how big it is.

 

[Beman]

They are not the best made cages.... kinda flimsy... I still say dragon strand. LOL but I am partial since I have one and had two crummy cages prior to it.

if you go down a bit and it says description, right next to that is attributes/ specifications that tells you the dimensions

 

[Ares05]

Yeah doesn't seem well made. I got a reptibreeze but those are also sorta flimsy as well, kinda wish I got a dragon strand or a diycages brand.

diycages.com has some decent quality screen cages, if that is what you are going for. Better than the zilla and reptibreeze ones.
