i dont know if it was said already but chams do just fine in glass cages if you have ventilation on the bottom and top to get air flow.

those kind of cages do great for chams like a panther or a veiled along with the exo terras.

I just wish I had more time for a cham..

I would stay away from the cham for now a good goal later but not now. A good question would be how often are you at your dads to take care of your future creature?

GarterPython · 01-04-13, 07:43 PM

The best cage for a cham is a screen. There is no point of doing any glass. If you read any good chameleon care sheet or go on chameleon forus they will tell you to use a screen cage.

And sorry for the double post but good oint BryanB

I am on a cham forum. IMO theres no need to use all screen its very hard to keep humidity in a screen cage. And i am talking from personal experience. I had my veiled for 6 years he was in a screen cage for most of his life until i talked to somebody who recommended i put him in a wooden cage with 2 vents.

There's glass cages with plenty of ventilation and reptiles don't fit into one little care sheet 100% of the time.

Yes but there isn't really a debate that screen is the best for a chameleon. If you are doing something might as well do it as well as you can. Screen cages aren't any more money and they are better for the chameleon in the long run. It is also a lot easier to find a 24x24x48 in screen then glass.

How do you know that screen cages are best? have you ever tried using both?

GarterPython · 01-04-13, 08:27 PM

I had a good family friend that had a couple of chams and he always used screens and it worked perfectly fine. Then he heard this debate where you can use glass cages as long as it has lots of ventilation yet he had to different chas in two different glass cages and ended up switching them to screen because it did not provide enough ventilation.

GarterPython · 01-04-13, 08:29 PM

And if he lived most of his life in a screen why switch. And there is oviously a reason you used the screen in the first place but any way I don't want us to over take this thread so if you want to make a thread or something then I will keep talking about it but this is about this guy finding a good reptile.
