This is something I've been curious about lately, I change my hair color very often and I've read that our clothing colors can have an impact on our animals as well. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/clothing-color-and-chameleon-reactions.54761/page-1 I was wondering if any one else has...

The white circle just looks a lot larger and more noticable to me than it was before the bulb change. I tend to take in rescues who are very fragile so maybe I'm just a little overly concerned for him.

It fluctuates between 30-70 percent between mistings. I mist once every 2 hours for 1-5 minutes/ until everything is dripping pretty heavy.

Okay so then the white ring is a little strange right? I'll schedule him an appointment with the vet but anything I should be concerned about or change in the mean time? I'm taking a look at this post but there's so much information I feel like half of it is going over my head lol

While we're at it, the she'd on his side has been there for two days now. His urates are completely white so I don't think he's dehydrated but the majority of the shed was done in hours, and that has remained. Should I be concerned?

That's the best I can do for now. I'd prefer not to mess with him too much more for the day since he clearly is not happy lol. I was actually slightly concerned he might have too much foliage and it might be blocking the uvb since he does hang out in the second layer of plants usually.

The ambient temperature is between 65-70. The room he's in has terrible insulation but he was too stressed with the traffic in living room and the cat staring at him. The basking spot is about 6-8 inches from the bulbs, depending on my plants growth that week .

In the smaller dome I have just a regular 40 watt incandescent house bulb.

This makes sense to me, it hurts my eyes a little honestly but Im very sensitive to lighting. What would be the best course of action? Dimming the bulbs would decrease temperature output correct? I had to add a second regular household bulb to increase the temps to acceptable levels which...

He absolutely despises being handled so this the best I can get, that was as he was waking up this morning, so excuse the squintiness.

I recently upgraded Merlin to a halogen bulb for his heating lamp after having his basking bulb explode on me. Since I made the change I've been trying to keep a close eye to make sure the rats aren't too intense for his eyes. His behavior seems normal, he's been eating more and he seems to...

I use this, it's super sticky and I haven't had any issues with it moving or peeling at all. Any moving or packing tape should work well though I think.

Is there a specific spot in relation to the lights that would be best for the feeder cup? *Edit Ive seen that most people use clear cups. Is this a need or does it matter what color the cup is?

How do you guys keep your roaches from scattering/ hiding when feeding in the tank? Merlin is too shy to hand feed and doesn't seem to get the concept of cup feeding yet so I tried just throwing the roaches in his tank. After finding one in my curtains and the majority of the others hiding in...

I'm not sure about this product but I use a super small square of clear packing tape on either side of the screen so it's not sticky for the chameleon and I haven't had issues with the tape dislodging from humidity. It's not super noticable on the outside of the cage either and I've even used...
