    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    Sure! I got a few good ones :) But not to many, because it seems Georg sees my red phone as threat The one where he‘s on the enclosure wall and the one where he‘s standing upright in the corner - thats how he slept during these nights. The one where he raises his head slightly kinda looks like...

    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    Well, thats interesting… I‘m not sure how to get all the necessary equipment tho, or even if I‘m reliable enough to tell the right parasite :) But it‘s good to know there are other options

    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    I talked to another reptile shop owner, who seems a bit more reliable than the guy i got Georg from. We spoke about parasites and such and he told me, he treats his chams kind of like you would with a cat or dog - that means, he‘ll treat them „regulary“ with „anti worm medicine“ (Sorry i don‘t...

    Well thank you all for the insight, that is very interesting. If thats the case, I‘m pretty exited for spring/summer :) Hopefully I can bring Georg outside more when it‘s warmer. @MissSkittles, damn, that hit hard. But I guess you‘re right :D

    But, is it really? I mean their whole world is artificial, right? No matter the season the temps always stay at about the same, the lights are always on for the same amount of time, the plants are always green. So it‘s not like summer/winter, it‘s more like „always sunny in philadelphia“.

    UVB basking is a good point, Georg may be on his upper most branch but not directly under the heat lamp. So it is totally possible he‘s just soaking up that UVB :D

    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    alright, thanks! Georg seems to be basking more than 5 hours - maybe he takes a few steps back and forth the upper branch, and maybe he moves around a bit the enclosure, but every time I check the camera he sits under the heat lamp. When I see him moving around he has a pretty normal color, so...

    Quick update: I feel like the new UVB was a good addition to the enclosure. I also mounted two more branches so he has a bit more places to stay at in his basking area. It seems like he is moving around a bit more, at least as far as I can tell, and he also gone through his second shed (which...

    Ah ok, well that could have happend tbh. I misted the enclosure some during his shed and he was walking around to scrub of the skin, so it‘s possibly he got a little wet on some spots. It‘s good you don‘t see anything wrong with the stuck skin tho :) I‘ll keep checking on him (ofc) and see what...

    Sure, see attached image. I hope the quality is good enough for you to see what you need… The other side looks way better, but has also small parts still stuck.

    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    Thank you Sonny and Beman! I‘ll keep an eye on him and try not to stress about every movement to much :) Indeed he seems to try new sleeping positions - yesterday he went to the upper enclosure wood piece, „stood“ up and chose that as his sleeping spot :D (See attached image) Further I will...

    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    Well, I checked on him through the camera from time to time the last few days and I still mostly see him on his basking branch. Sure, he‘s moving back and forth and changes direction on the branch, but all in all, he‘s practically just chillin there. At least yesterday he tried a new sleeping...

    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    No no, I got you! I feel like I unconsciously planed ahead for something like this while building the enclosure. The distance from his basking spot to the top mesh (and therefore the fixture if I just place it on top) is somewhere around 20cm +-. So I‘ll remove the block of wood on this side and...

    Yeah for real man, it‘s pretty crazy, what this small bulb can put out :D

    Veiled chameleon basking a lot and seeming kind of inactive

    Sorry, I forgot to include the following: „UVI measurements at the center of the strongest point with a solar meter 6.5.“ Thats written below the distance table i posted above. So I‘m guessing it‘s accurate. Yeah it‘s the 6% T5 (Pro) and an aluminium mesh screen. So I could flip the wood pieces...

    Hey Beman, hope you‘re doing good! All the lights arrived today. Unfortunatley, as I had to work longer today, I only got to unpack and install it at about 6:30pm (7pm now - lights go out at 8pm). I‘ll include pics of the current setup. I checked the infos on the package of the T5 about the...

    Aight, I will. Should arrive on monday, hopefully. Ok got it! So a specific calcium + D3 supplement wouldn‘t be all that necessary?

    hey and thanks for the welcoming :) Well I use plain calcium every feeding (which is currently every day) and I used a multivitamin mid september and a few days ago (so I guess once a month). Unfortunatly I couldn‘t really find a calcium with D3 in my area… Like I said in a post earlier - I...

    Dude, big thanks for your help! I gotta say, I feel really understood und accepted here. I will order the arcadia T5 and a appropriate heat bulb first things first tomorrow morning. If you really could help me with the setup then, that be pretty awesome. All the best, Chris

    The packages says „large“, but I feel like they are not all that large. Especially compared to the ones reading „medium“ (thoses are reeeally small in my opinion). Yeah I figured that about his weight… I always have a close eye on HIM! :) Phew, now I‘m relieved. Thanks for your expertise. Still...
