mwebb: the screen isn't bad though, it's chicken wire on top with 1/4" holes..so from above it doesn't block out a lot of light.
Seeing though that it is a big cage, I might just try the 10.0 this year, especially cuz I only have a 24" fixture.
Were you the one that messaged me?? Sorry I...
Hmmm alright, well it seems that using a 5.0 I'm good...The perch is probably about 8-10" inches away...I have lots of bamboo sticks and soaker hoses so I can always make closer perches if needed.
On lllreptile, the 10.0 says that it's good for larger terrariums because it reaches 10" +...in...
The thickness from the top is just chicken screen which has probably 1/4 inch holes.
The cage is just a wood frame with screen on 3 sides and wood on the back.
Edit: On the sides though it's a soft fiberglass mesh made for pets :)
I have a 3x2x4 (lwh) cage for my Adult Panther Chameleon. It's time to change bulbs and I have been using a 24" Reptisun 5.0.
It just occurred to me though that I might be needing a stronger light since I now have a bigger cage!
So should I get a Reptisun 5.0 or use a 10.0?
Also I work...
How long should I leave the humidifier on? I have read from a post on here, that it is good to get it really wet and misty, but then let it dry out completely so you don't get any mold growing etc. I should also not mist at night when it is cold right?
He only bulges his eye to "clean" it when...
Thank you for the replies. I have been rinsing out with the saline solution and have been doing a better job with misting and giving him water.
I changed back his light too, as I thought maybe the new flood light was way too bright, and will see how he does.
Does anyone know what the bulge...
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Ambilobe Panther Chameleon, Male, and I've had him since Aug of 09. He is 1 year old.
* Handling - Maybe once a week on a normal schedule.
* Feeding - He normally will eat about 5-9 large crickets a day, even more if I give him more. If not...
I got a new camera (point&shoot cuz I only had a dSLR), some cozy pjs, lots of gift cards, and a new hair dryer :P
I was told I got a 6ft ficus tree for my panther like I put on my xmas list...but came Christmas day there was no tree :[
I'm awaiting a delayed Christmas cage for Henry too...
oh ok :] Awesome! btw, your little vield in the avatar is wayyy too cute. makes me want to get a baby chameleon again :P My henry is growing up too fast :[ :P
Oh ok! Thanks that's a good idea! my cousin who's a year older than me is building me the cage for my christmas present :] So I'll be excited how it turns out too! I'll definitely take pictures...Henry can' wait either. He's starting to act like he wants to get out of his cage a lot. so for now...
Thank you for the reply, Im thinking about going 3x2x4 (lxwxh).
Oh and how do you go about putting the screen on? I know my repti breeze cage has it rolled in like windows, is that what people do with their cages?
