I want to start having my pather out nearly everyday. I dont plan on leaving him out year round, would it be ok to leave him out during the day to get sun and UVB but then bring him inside for the night? (neighborhood has stray cats so ill keep an eye on him via cameras)

These are the powders I use. And I found a new build I had in store just in case. So these bulbs are useless? how com they're still sold everywhere if they aren't the best??? Ill stop feeding the roaches what i was feeding them. What are some things that can result from me feeding them sugar and...

Is there any other UVB bulbs that can ensure he gets the correct UVB that isnt in a hood?

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Nosey Be panther chameleon, male, 1yr 3mnths. Ive had him for 11months. Handling – I handle him nearly everday to take him outside in the sun or to help him run up my arm when he wants to get out. Feeding – I feed him dubia roaches daily 6-10 a day every...

Any decoration recommendations that i can use to help fill in the space in X-large cage for him?

I have that cage size for him and I did have him in there for a while but then saw no matter what i put in the cage or on the walls of the cage he still manages to slip at times and always climbed the cage walls. Because of his clumsiness i worried that since he is still growing he might hurt...

His enclosure

His colors are perfectly fine now that hes awake, i have never see him turn those shades of colors before like he did last night when he was asleep. hes still active and climbing all over the place and runs up my arm like a normal excited bby cham. I cleaned the sores with the Vetericyn plus and...

The UVB is this coiled one. I accidentally thought it was 150w. I moved his basking bulb to another spot where he can perch and bask and it measures at 87 degrees now with an ambient temp of 75-77.5*

The UVB is a compact buld, unsure if its a 2-1 mercury bulb. So i should move the basking bulb to a spot lower? Would about 8-9 inches away be better? I live in California city of Chino. There isnt many exotic pet vets near me so i had trouble finding someone too.

I don't give Crickets as often as I give dubia roaches. The crickets I get are about medium size and the last time i gave him some was about the end of last week. They're all dead now after a few days, that's why I stick to feeding dubias more especially since my population exploded this year...

Google led me down a rabbit whole of viruses and now im just freaking out about my bby bc i have no idea whats wrong but he seems to feel something on those two dots that must cause him to flinch in some pain especially since im gently rubbing them to clean them with saline solution. Should i...

I wondered the same thing. The vet didnt mention nothing of a virus but seemed to believe it may have been thermal burns. I watch him everyday and dont see him going anywhere he can get burned especially since there is a good distance from the basking spot and the bulb. The dots are popping up...

Dubias are fed a diet of kale, collar greens, roach chow (brown sugar and oat and Calcium powder) and sometimes i throw in an apple core, banana or manderine

Circled some of the spots, he has one on his back left thigh and belly too but they seem like dark spots rather than red. One on his tail looks similar to how the one in his left hip started. Spot on his top right back seems to be new but growing. I try to go in and clean him with saline water...
