Okay, update...
Think i might have come up with the answer, seems pretty stupid and obvious but never really noticed before as i was paying attention to him only really. I've been watching him for the past few hours and he's been up and down his cage right to the top and back to the floor and...
yeah, right below them :\ It's one of these exo terra terrariums, as i've said before hoping to change to bigger and better when I can afford it but its what he came with so, the roofs mesh, then the lights are in a hood/case which sits on top of that
it's one of these (if the pic works) doesnt...
Hey, I cant really lower the temperature easily because f the set up, but have been leaving his doors open a lot which seems to be helping, its been more around 30 degrees, noticed a new thing yesterday though, usually he likes to sit at the top to bask, but yesterday I was watching him and he...
Hey, not 100% sure really, day before yesterday i was out most of the day and came home and there was some disturbance in the same place but not as much as previously, and since i posted about him doing it, i have been home every day really as i'm not working so i dont know if he's stopped or...
I don't or i wouldnt be here, but i do trust them about eddies previous condition
Also, with his set up being how it is, and always having had the same one, i dont think he could burn his back, its higher up than he can get and over mesh
We weren't told by the previous owners, we were informed by the shop owners who treated him. and he wasn't necessarily sold with the substrate, they can advise, they cant stop people buying if its unknown, the owners could have got that any when.
He only eats about 3, maybe 4 extra large locusts a day. and then the wax worms now and again as a treat when we try and handle him etc. And not arguing, because i did come here for advise etc, but this store has owned theyre own reptiles, inc chams for years, they started their business because...
They were'nt burns, the store we always goto get food and our dragon etc we've got quite friendly with the owners, and Eddie was originally one of thier chameleons babies, and apparently when he was younger he had a fungal infection along his back, thats why its a bit bumpy looking. He helped...
Yeah i know the basics of their colours thats why im alot happier with how he is now, was upsetting to see how he was when we got him, also his wee was yellow not white so believe he was dehydrated, hasnt been since so thats good. I think he's a happy enough chameleon just want whats best for him
With the set up his got i'm not sure i can lower it, all lights are in a case ontop of mesh outside the terrarium, its an exo terra one. It is possible, altho he does sit at the top a fair bit, surely he'd stay lower down if he was too hot? :\
Oh, the lights didnt even work when we got him either, only the basking light, that's why the first couple of pics are darker... of course we didnt know this till we got the poor lil guy home
its an analouge one, do want to get digital though, we want to get same from the dragon as well so soon as we get bit more money it'll be a spending trip at the pet store lol and the terrarium i think... not measuring now because i dont want to annoy him as its lights out time lol...45x45x60cm...
We are looking at getting a dimmer but unfortunately i have recently lost my job so cash is tight until i find another so it has to wait till then, we've got themomiters in there to measure temps, and they are brand new so they are working and accurate, wasn't sure if the one he came with was so...
