Cage for baby "Triskell"

[nadine]

hello!

so, i went to a reptile show last weekend, and of course i got weak when i stumbled over a clutch of healthy chunky little blue bar ambilobe babies

i took a girl home with me, named her "Triskell" and put her in my boy Tyrus' old 16x16x30 cage. i have never had a chameleon that little before, she is not even the size of my little finger, and i wonder if this enclosure is still to big for her? on the other hand, i did not find any other smaller cage available, so i wonder what to use?

we have plenty fishtanks, crtter keepers etc that are smaller, but i always have housed my chameleon in screen cages before.

her new home has three plants, lots of branches, a new uvb bulb and a nice warm basking spot - so i hope this even works for a baby cham this little

any inputs about the cage size though?

thanks
nadine

She will do fine in a 16 x16 x30. Just make sure she is eating. I let my new tiny one catch his food in a 16 x16 x30 cage. But I force (cough, cough) to watch and make sure he eats, and boy does he eat.

I think the cage size is fine. My little guy was also tiny when I brought him home and I thought about downsizing but he had no problem. I guess if your worrying about it, keep an eye on her and make sure she is grabbing up those crickets.
