Cage size question

[Flamegurl]

So my panther chameleon is growing fast!! Have had him for 3 months and boy has he grown, probably due to not missing any meals. He is about 8 inches from nose to tail. Anyways, was wondering when to give him an upsized cage? Right now he is in a 16×16 reptibreeze. Should i go to the 18×18 or go to another size bigger and skip the 18×18?

Personally I would go for his full sized enclosure, especially if you are cup feeding, but even if you are not I would not suggest an intermediate size. He looks plenty big enough to handle a big boy cage .

Besides, it will likely be less stressful not having to move him multiple times.

I would skip the 18X18 and go straight to 24X24X48". He is growing up to be a big boy and ready for a big-boy man cave.

Where should i buy the new set up? Amazon doesnt have much variety.

Dragon Strand makes great enclosures.
