Are you guys using tap water or bottled water? I know there are some chemicals in treated water but don't know if they could be harmful so I have been using bottled water so far (1 month)

Cool, thanks again guys for all the help & ideas. Call this thread dead. :)

NO not digital. One is a mercury thermometer, and the other is the bi-Metal style that they sell at pet stores.

It all escapes out the screen top. I have used 2 different thermometers to get temps moving them around to verify both are giving similar readings.

Reading that link you posted leads me to believe the blinding is a UVB radiation problem not an intense light problem. Well that's the balance issue I'm having with the basking lamp. It has to be that hot & close to keep up the temps in the rest of the cage, so that's why I was going to get...

OK so 60-63 at the bottom of the cage is OK? And 70 around the top with the basking spot around 90-100 (if he sits right under the light)? I thought they generally liked 70-80 average temps. You are the experienced one offering assistance so I'll trust you if you agree my temps are OK.

is there any reason I can't keep feeding the crickets in a small plastic tub like I am? I keeps them from free roaming and thus they can not eat, chew, drown in the fountain, etc.... So far I have seen the Chameleon eat a few out of the container so is there a reason to let them run wild? It...

Thanks for the quick reply. Never thought about the Chameleon using the waterfall for a bathroom. Guess I'll keep a close eye on that and change out the water a lot for preventative measures anyway. I've been feeding him crickets in a small Tupperware bowl that the crickets can not climb out of...

Hello all, seems you run across sutff like this great forum after[I] you already made decisions/purchases, but anyway looking to get it right. After some basic web searching / reading on Panthers I [I]thought I was an educated buyer.:eek: So I went ahead and bought my set up and a few days...

Hello everyone. New Ambanja Panther owner. I thought I did my research before buying but now I have a few important questions I need to solve. As with everything else I guess there is lots of bad info out there which I think I followed and now need GOOD advice. Most of it has to deal...
