Thank you for the advice! I did consider getting the T5 grow lights but wanted to do the combo T5 HO Arcadia ForestDweller 6% D3 UVB bulbs which I've read can double as plant grow lights or purchase a set of plant grow lights plus hoods and 12" linear UVB and hood. The reason I didn't though was...

First I want to thank everyone who gave me advice on my last post a few months back about my set up (Previous Post Link: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/constructive-criticism-advice-wanted-on-how-to-improve-my-setup-please.178074/) I've been working to try and improve Richard's cage...

He didn't used to be shy before he got a mild respiratory infection but he's a drama queen because he held his breath to the vet's dismay when he was getting diagnosed with the mild respiratory infection and theshe was trying to listen to his breathing. He was also understandably very bitey, but...

Thank you for the advice and for recommending a hygrometer and thermometer! I've had mixed success with other ones I've bought from petsmart that just didn't seem to last. I can now find my heat temp measuring gun (hopefully) and at least measure his heat today at his basking spot, middle of...

I think he would definitely love something like that! We were just talking about maybe also building him a outdoor enclosure or a multi tree free range in our basement (like a living wall almost but of trees) in the future.

Yes we do try to do that. I've been putting it onto my phone calendar and set a notification so it reminds me.

Thank you! We will have to get a small free range set up for him and get all the supplies so we can revamp his cage in one go and have a place to put him while it happens that will hopefully keep him as stress free as possible. We have been wanting to also build him a bigger cage but just...

I was misting that much because I was worried he wasn't getting enough water or drinking enough since I never see him drink. It does dry fully in between each misting though. How often should I mist to ensure he's getting enough water?

Thank you! I will definitely look into that. I saw the Chameleon Academy website earlier today actually when I was looking up something else for chameleons but didn't know if it was legitimate or not.

Nevermind just saw your reply!

Should I dust (in general) every feeding? I've read that some people do or suggest only dusting only 1 or 2 feedings a week. I will definitely change that up.

More photos of the set up.

The cage has a cabinet attached to it underneath so the interior of the cage itself is 41 inches tall. The full cabinet and cage is 83.5 sorry for the confusion. I'll post more complete picture.

This is usually what he will do with his color and making himself smaller even if we are across the room. I know its not the best image to show the full effect but it's the only one I have currently.
