Nope, totally chillin and friendly. Funny, he does seem happier afterwards! His basking spot stays around 88 with a second spot at 84 a branch lower.
Maybe he's just showing us who's the boss.
Okay, Lenny, our 12 month old ambilobe has a poop issue...
Everything looks fine, but he only goes after we have taken him out of his cage and handled him. He will go every couple of days or so, but if we don't hanle him for a few days he don't go! Really, if we don't take him out for three...
My daughter was wondering is it normal for them to come to you and be held for an hour or two daily? If you open the cage he will come and force you to pick him up and play.
Solid Snake and Carol5028, AWESOME advice. Changed out the ceramic element for a 75 watt bulb first thing this morning. What a change! He immediately went up to his basking spot, stretched out and flattened out, his colors looked great, and if a Cham could smile, he was smiling! Begged to come...
Alright, I went home and checked, it is a fluorescent "Zilla 17 watt-T8-BP Tropical 25 ONLY FOR REPTILE UV-A UV-B" mabe I used the wrong term calling it a "combo". Is this ok or should I go to the Repti-sun 5.0? We'll try the swap out from the ceramic heater.
Thanks!
Yes a fluorescent tube light uva/uvb and the dome is just a heat emitter, not a light. I looked at the bulb itself and it definitely had the Uva and UVB designation on it. Maybe I got the manufacturer wrong. Is that okay? Would you suggest something different?
Hi all, Santa delivered Lenny to our household (me, wife, 12 year old daughter, 3 dogs and aslightly unbalanced Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot) this Christmas. My daughter had been researching chameleons since a school project about a year ago and had been begging for one. Her Mom and I weren't so...
Ambilobes are awesome I have one that I got for Christmas and they ares sooooooo gentle and tend not to bite (mine doesnt like to it's its last resort) they are also cheaper than most:):eek::cool::D:(:o:p:rolleyes:;)
