Larger enclosure

[tryme]

My male veiled is reaching 6 and a half/7 months old now and i'm having trouble finding an aluminium enclosure. I found one guy (he wants £110 for a 18x18x36 enclosure, I think that's way to expensive). My veiled is in a 38 gallon flexarium (16.5"x16.5"x30") Will he be ok for another month or so until I find some one a bit cheaper or atleast til I gather enough to get that £110 size enclosure?

lllreptile.com has aluminum 24x24x48 for $100 would be perfect adult cage.

I'm UK my friend lol it's HARD over here. All reptile shops are selling cages that are 'perfect for chams' or 'ideal' but they are glass or wooden.

[tryme]

yeah thats the same guy i was looking at he wants £110 for an 18x18x36 and thats like the absolute min you can have for an adult male veiled right?

 

[alan23]

ivemaild him 2 see if he can do me a 5ft by 2ft by2ft see whtrice he gives me have to see bt yeah part from tht i cnt find any cages like tht to buy over here is rubbish

 

[tryme]

I know I mean the reptile shop I brought my cham from is ment to be a specialist in reptiles. The said they used to sell the cages and i've seen some in the back of their shop which they house their own chameleons in there for breeding projects etc. The said they go theirs off of that same person but they no longer get them ordered in I will have to contact him myself etc...

Hi Tryme....

I got a quote from LLL reptile for $65 delivery to the UK for some aluminium cages. You can get a 2x2x3 which would be OK for an adult veiled for $79.99...so that's $145 posted...works out about 70-75 quid DELIVERED! I was going to do this for myself not long ago, but realised I am going over to the US on Sunday, so can send them to my parents house in Connecticut.

You're right about all those "ideal for chameleons" vivs over here....none of them are ideal unless you want your cham to have repiratory problems Happy hunting anyway

 

[tryme]

So basically the whole thing including P&P would be about £75?

 

[alan23]

i ws thinking same thing if it costs tht much with cage and shipping ill def do tht lol

 

[Mcfluffin]

Yep....75 quid delivered...the pound gets almost 2 dollars at the moment

 

[tryme]

i emailed lllreptile and they mailed back saying that a 24x24x36 would be to large to ship to the uk from the us (N)

 

[Mcfluffin]

Oh bugger...what a pain....book yourself a flight, and take a big suitcase

 

[tryme]

hahah if only..but any way will he be ok in there for another month or two?

 

[alan23]

depends how big he is mate? and UP THE IRONS!!!!! LOL

 

[tryme]

He's not very big, his tail is quite long though! I think hes about hmm 12inches maybe? head to tail.

 

[tryme]

Is he going to be ok for a few months?
