Designing new cage need help

[CAMTHECHAM]

Hey guys,

in the process of building my new cage for my panther.
I was wondering if a cage measuring 18x24x48 inches tall would keep him healthy and happy.
Just asking because this is all i have space for at the moment...i can go a little bigger but it would be hard.

Thanks in advance!

id suggest that's probably plenty, you are still at recommended height, which is what matters most, your only loosing 6 inches on width. if possible add it, but you should be fine with your dimensions.

I'd go as big as possible. Bigger cages are actually easier to arrange and manage. Your cham will appreciate as much as he can get! The 48 tall is fine, its the 18" dimension that is borderline.

Okay thank you! I will definitely try to squeeze in a couple of inches
Thanks again!

While I have many 24x24x48 cages I have found that having a wider cage placed higher is what most chams prefer. You want them to be able to change height for temp regulation but they do like to wander laterally. So if you have the space, make it as wide as you can.
