i have made my own custom cameleon cage, and the demensions are 30L, 22W, and 20H. is this big enough for a grown veiled chameleon? it has all the proper lighting installed into it, and also the screen. i am just worried it is to small, even though i put in a ton of money and work into this cage.

It is too small

a full grown veiled needs minimum 2'L 2'W 4'H screen enclosure

alright

how long will this cage last?

 

[jamncristian]

can you put it on its side??

it should be ok for a female veiled

 

[pssh]

It will last a male until he is 5-8 months old if turned on it's side. It will be fine for a female for her whole life if it's turned on it's side.

well i cant really turn it, because screen is covering it completly. i would love to put up a picture, but im not a tech genius. but it basicly looks like a chest. a pirate chest. but it has a flat top, where all the lighting is installed. then, all the sides have screen, except the bottom. where it is solid. the cage is beautiful, and is sad to know it is kind of a waste. what exactly happens if the cage is to small for the chameleon?

STRESS!!

Turn that cage into a Gecko or Beardie Enclosure And wip yourself out a taller wider Cham cage.
