How low is the humidity falling? Also, keep in mind humidity fluctuations are perfectly normal in the wild and your chameleon will be fine. As far trying to keep the humidity up I would invest in a humidify, not one of those reptifoggers, check out Amazon for some relatively cheap options that...

As some others have mentioned, just spend the little extra money and invest in a linear UVB and bulb dome. I use dimmers on some of my enclosures, I personally love em. Like @jannb mentioned, the dome UVB tend to concentrate the power. If you're chameleon is roaming throughout the cage it...

I realize you mentioned you wanted something shorter; however, as you upgrade your enclosures eventually you're going to want it longer in length! Exactly like what @RJChamers said.

Check out Light Your Reptiles, they have full spectrum lighting for plants if you have real ones, as well as UVB. I'm setting up a new enclosure and will be switching to these fixtures. :) Link: http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/fixtures/t5-high-output/

Thank goodness, make sure to keep everyone updated with your new chameleon. :D

Honestly, it's always good to be aware and concerned in a sense. If you're saying he doesn't sleep but rather 'sits' or 'lays' that could still pose a problem. However, even if you're husbandry is on point, I personally, would take him to the vet. There might be nothing wrong but then again I...

I'm sure several other members have referred you to Light Your Reptiles and I realize you're on a budget BUT if you could save up I'd suggest doing that. However, you could get a full spectrum for a couple of bucks online and just buy a linear fixture on amazon. The bulbs I have linked are sold...

YES! I have no idea how often you have your chameleon in natural sunlight but they need multivitamins, calcium, and calcium with D3. I'd highly suggest that you look into the recourses our wonderful forums have provided us with: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/food/

I don't know exactly what your budget is but for probably anywhere from 50 to 100 bucks you could build a box (any type of wood will work, plywood is cheap and will do the job) roughly the size of dimensions of the bottom section of your enclosure. Then, buy some pond liner and simply staple it...

All these comments are cracking me up :ROFLMAO: Jokes aside, very interesting clip about Florida and another exotic animal problem..

I bet your plants are loving those three lights though!

I can't decide between the 3 or quad, would you say the extra money for it is worth it?

Dang, not only is he good looking but I'm loving these shots you got of him. :D

Thank you! I'm super nervous to start but also super excited.

I work an EMT, for some of you who don't know I offer basic life support in emergency situations. In the process of going to school to obtain my paramedic license.
