Basking bulb is 75 watt and 8” away from her (basking temps 80) and uvb is next to it going diagonally across top of cage it’s a 24”. She has many branches and multiple different spots she can sit to get different amounts of UVB. She also has a lay bin in the back corner. I have more bendy...
Yeah conditions are hard to maintain in such a wide cage. I worry about bacteria forming on the wood and her cutting herself on the metal screening (it can be pokey when you poke holes through it to connect stuff). I monitor her closely (her new enclosure will be here thurs)
I agree, another worry is that she won’t lay in her cage she has now. Her husbandry is right and she has just been super restless all around her cage, so inward thinking maybe this change would help her. It’d be easier to add foliage too
The one I built has metal screening and I don’t want her to cut herself on a loose piece, also with it being so wide it’s a lot harder to to maintain temperature gradient and humidity. My mist king also only mists half of my enclosure at the moment. The cage is too big, so I figured I’d purchase...

Okay so as I am retrying this, the arrow needs to be flowing the opposite direction of the tube inserted into the bulkhead? like pointing towards the thing that vibrates and the other tube?
beyond thankful, my chameleon wouldn't be alive today w/o this community. I am easily frusturated.. thats all. I do apologize for it. I put my blood sweat and tears into this cham especially her being a female i want everything perfect!
Ill get back to this after work i have to go now!
