Is this a good enough set up?

[stormn1999]

Hello!!!
I have decided to get a new baby panther chameleon! but before I do i have a few questions!
1. Is this a good enough enclosure for a 3 month old panther?
12x12x18 terrarium with screen top
5.0 repti-glo uvb bulb
basking light
plants vines etc inside with an extra little spot a few inches under the basking light for basking
thermometer humidity gauge
Reptivite with d3 for twice a week dusting plus calcium without d3 everyday
misting 15 secs every day
timer with lights on from 7 to 7
little dripper dripping very slowly 24/7 down one of the fake plants with a bowl to catch excess

2. Where is a good place to get panthers for around 250 or lower?

Thanks so much!!

Don't get he exo terra, it won't last long as your panther will get over a foot. Go for an 18"x18"x36" screen cage and also for supplements it's plain calciume very feeding, and thn a multivitamin and calcium with d3 twice a month. In that price range I'd try chameleon paradise or voodoo chameleons. Welcome to the forums too

[stormn1999]

Awesome thanks!!! And im trying to decide!! Nosy be or blue bar with green and red??

 

[chamgirl88]

Go with the silver one it an open screen that should be ok till you can get a 18x18x36 or a 24x24x48 uvb 5.0 need vines or live plants for his high way and some hide way stuff like vines with leafs basketing bulb you can get the cheaper one as long as it not blue or red white light only or ceramic heater none bulbe if it cold in your house can't go below 60 at nigh when you can buy a exo terra monsoon or if you have the extra cash get a mister king or a aquazamp.com

Thanks!! And what age do you think i should get him his 24x24x48?? Thanks!!

I have always put my babies straight into a 2x2x4 and never had a problem. Panther babies are very active and always find the food. It saves you the hassle of upgrading, cages are expensive

 

[stormn1999]

Yea for now i will just upgrade when the time comes... is 8 months a good age to upgrade to a 24.24.48?
