    Chameleon Sleeping Weird

    I'll definitely add more sticks for him around his enclosure, and especially the UVB area. The bulb strength is 5.0, and it is 7.5 inches from his branch. His tongue shoots and retracts normally, but since he is blind in one eye, his accuracy isn't very good. This is part of the reason we need...

    Chameleon Sleeping Weird

    It runs across on the left side, the right has his heat lamp. I replaced his UVB and plant light in August. He had an Arcadia T5 UVB with an additional plant light, but after taking him to an exotic vet for an issue not too long ago, they recommended zoo med reptisun which is what I have now...

    Chameleon Sleeping Weird

    Here are some photos from this morning. The photo of him being all dark (under the heat lamp) is how I find him a lot of the time; hanging on to his own limbs and all curled. The photos with him with brighter colors is his way of saying he hates my phone camera. He always hated my phone so this...

    Chameleon Sleeping Weird

    The only change I can think of is the long stick up top is now two long sticks since when he only had one he would sometimes fall off and with two he stabilizes himself better. There is also less coverage on the top since his main plant outgrew his enclosure and I changed it with a younger plant...

    Chameleon Sleeping Weird

    Hi all, I just started my winter break from college and when I got home I immediately noticed my cham sleeping in a very odd position. He was sleeping with his tail completely uncurled with two of his legs just dangling which is something I've never seen before. My parents said he's been like...

    UVB/Plant light replacement

    Hello all, I've got a quick question for UVB light suggestions. I'm not sure which brand of UVB lights I have since it's been 2 years since they've been replaced. I'm well aware of how overdue they are for a replacement so I am looking to get them replaced before I go off to college to leave my...

    Cham new basking light Q

    I have a male panther chameleon. Rio is about a year old and it's time to replace his basking light. Current he has a 60 watt bulb that is a warm yellow color. I got him a new bulb today. 60 watts but it's a white color. Would that be fine for him? Here is a picture of his current light and a...

    Crickets

    Ok thanks. I fed him 5 large yesterday and then he just sat up on his basking branch for a while then occasionally moved spots for cooler areas or he moves to the UVB area. Thank you. I'll feed him another 5 crickets tomorrow. I also plan on getting more bugs for his diet such as silk worms.

    Crickets

    The crickets definitely fit between his eyes. I made sure to check before feeding him the large. And the leaves definitely do make him look small lol. I have to trim the leaves about once a month because the leaves on the top grow so big and reach the heating lamp. Knowing the crickets are fine...

    Crickets

    My Panther Chameleon is 8 months old and is a pretty good size. I've started feeding him large crickets and he eats them with no problem. I also powder them with the right supplements everyday. Is he at the point where I feed him every other day and if so how many crickets every other day. Is...

    Night humidity levels and temperature need to go up

    I've been monitoring the humidity levels in my chameleons enclosure using 2 hygrometers that sync to an app on my phone. The daytime humidity levels are great during the day usually between 50-60% but for night the humidity drops way too much and I can't seem to fix the issue. I put some clear...
