when should I put my baby panther in a bigger cage?

[animallover27]

I've got a four month old male panther and he's still fine in his small reptibreeze (which is 18x18x24 I think) but I was wondering at what size I should get him a bigger cage . . .

If possible I'd like to skip right to a large reptibreeze to save money but if it would hurt him at all I'll eat the cost of a medium and then a large . . .

He is growing by leaps and bounds so I figure now is the time to ask this question . . . he also hunts voraciously so him finding food in a larger cage won't be a problem I don't think . . .

you can move him to the bigger cage (24x24x48) i have a 7 month old veiled cham in a 24x24x48 and hes totally fine just put alot of good hidding spots that are covered of plants and lots of vines but not to much that it looks too full inside trust me i made that mistake when i built my first cage and i filled it too much and it was so hard to clean.

I have my verru in a 16x16x20. I moved him into a 18x18x36 and he wasn't very active at all. I put him back in the 16x16x20 and he moves nonstop! I think I read somewhere that verru's get shy in a bigger enclosure??

great - thanks! This is a good time to get tropical plants around here too - so I can get him some great plants for his new big cage . . .
