I was reading the last link and he said the bigger the better. Would a 6X3X3 be sufficient(sp?). I also have a 6X2X3.

Thats amazing!! lol But would my 6X3X2 be sufficient or would my 6X3X3 be better? I want to put them in the big one but I dont know if thats ok. Is it?

opps sorry i forgot about ur question, is this feet or inchs and how big is the cham. Some people have different opinions on this. Some like to start of small and then get a bigger enclosure once they get bigger, some just gets a massive enclosure and let it be. Its relaly your opinion but i guess you want ours too lol. I perfer to "make" a small enclosure then let it grow. But if i was to buy one of those screen cages at the pet store i would get the biggest one then put the little guy in. It all depends.

I think it's safe to say that he's talking about feet.. I highly doubt he's looking to house a cham in a 6"x3"x3" enclosure.. Aside from the small Dollar Store Critter keepers, do they even make enclosures that small????

That size should be great. either one.

here are some of my cages although i havent got any recient pic's.

we put a baby veiled in a 2x2x4 and he was fine, he's now in a 6x3x1.5 and he's adjusted just fine

the key to making him feel secure is more about plant coverage than cage size

if you put him in a large cage, just keep an eye on him to see where the young one hangs out and then adjust your heating and basking lights accordingly

and by "them" do you mean that you plan to put more than 1 chameleon in the cage?

[Matt.B]

no But I plan on putting one in the massive one and one in the big one. I just wanted to make sure that for veileds it would be a good size.
