When should i upgrade enclosure size?

[Jessicajalynn]

So I’ve had my veiled chameleon for a little over a month now and I’m just curious on when i should get a bigger enclosure size for my little girl.

I always advise you start with the largest cage you can get. Starting in smaller enclosures is a waste of money and source of undue stress for the chameleon.

Well this was given to me at work for free. I work at a pet store. I didn’t even have to buy this one and i definitely knew i would have to upgrade to a bigger one.

She’ll need a minimum of 18” by 18” by 36” tall cage, but preferably 2’ by 2’ by 4’ tall or bigger, preferably screen. How old is she, and what are the dimensions of her current cage? I’d also recommend getting a linear uvb, as well

id say she aleady needs an upgrade.

 

[Syreptyon]

Yeah, she's definitely due for her upgrade!
