exo-terra terrarium

[Tuluma]

hey, just wondering if a 2x1.5x2ft. exo-terra terrarium would be big enough for my veiled cham,she is about 1 year old is about 10 inches long from nose to tail tip. I am a new lizard owner so anything regarding this would be a big help, Thanks!

if its glass then NO!

Many people say glass is a big no no if it is glass, but it depends on what your environment is, I believe. Some people say you can use them, some don't.

Even if it's not glass that seems kinda small.

Is that two feet high? or 1.5 feet high?
either way, feels a little small to me. I know some people feel females dont need much space, but Im not one of those

There are can be extra challenges with using a glass enclosure. This may not be the best choice for you.

Where do you live? I ask because some folks who live where there's a really low natural ambient humidity choose glass more often than others.

If you'd like, have a look at my blog entry re enclosures, for Quite a few websites and threads within this forum regarding enclosures/caging: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/82-enclosures-housing.html
Its a long list but wont take long to read all of it - less time than youd think

welcome to the forums Tuluma! some people in colder places use glass, but others most warmer climate people use screen.

I would say unless your in a really cold environment and you are an experienced cham owner i would say to def. go w/ an all screen cage or at least 2 sides plus the top. Also, that cage dimensions your giving are way too small for a one year old cham.

P.S. Welcome to the forums!

I agree with Hilikus, you need a bigger cage for your cham
