hi i am also wondering about what chameleon tank i should get
i was wondering wether the tank in this kit is allright for a veiled chameleon

Dont do it bud. All of the more informed people know what they are saying. Im gonna go for the screen cage. Cheaper too.

When i first started i was going to buy that but its wayyyy to small. Even the platinum one is too small.

I got a roll of plastic sheeting used to cover floors and such while painting. Found in most hardware or home improvement stores for a few dollars per roll.

I cut the sheet down to the size I need for each side and taped it on.

I did the same! I bought a plastic painter's dropcloth and sized it around three sides of my cage. It works well, and keeps water off of the walls around the cage.

I use corrugated plastic to cover 2-3 sides to hold humility in screen enclosure

I strongly feel my 36x18x36 exoterra is large enough for my adult male panther, and would be fine for an adult veiled. If there was a larger option, I would buy it, but I have seen no ill effects. My main problem with the screen cages is it’s difficult to maintain humidity and properly mist the enclosure without creating a ton of overspray, and the remedy for this(shower curtain/plastic sheeting), makes an already ugly enclosure look uglier. Part of the deal between my wife and I regarding getting a chameleon was the enclosure had to accent the room it was in. I had to create a beautiful enclosure to house a beautiful reptile. The classiest way to do this included a well constructed glass enclosure. I believe these enclosures provide the best jumping point to create bioactive substrates and all the benefits they provide. I do free roam my chameleon occasionally on a few large houseplants, and he has an outdoor enclosure for the summer, but I have complete confidence in the husbandry provided inside his glass enclosure.

Personally, I live in a very dry climate as well, so for my veild, what I did was fit plexiglass in the cage on 3 of the 4 sides as well as for the bottom lip of the reptibreeze. That's just what I did, and it works great, just a little advice.

Both work. the largest exoterra works fine for an adult yemen. i Think they look good too. i keep Yemens in exoterras, not full grown but a lite over a year or so, in the 90x60x60 so the 90x90x60 should do fine
