yeah i agree but u got 2 think aswell.. IF the person who wants 2 buy the cham see's it in a tank that size their going to think 'oh i dont NEED a bigger tank 4 it' .. but like u said, aslong as its got enough room 2 move around then its not 2 much of a problem.

i didnt ask them about it. but from what i know it shouldnt really be kept in a viv that size at all, even more so when its 8 months +. it was for sale but chameleons need to be able to climb whatever the situation.

depends on the situation, you did not ask so for all you know there could be an issue like the cham falls down due to some sort of illness so providing a high tank means it could fall from a height and injur its self, where as if it fell from the top of the small viv it wont urt itself or at least not as badly as falling from the top of a higher viv, there are various reasons why it would be being kept like that, you cannot persecute a shop until you know the full story.
