Okay I’ll be sure to fix the basking light on the stand for tomorrow! Was wondering if he was cold since he wouldn’t move from there. I didn’t think to see if he is or not a boy 😅 Think I see a little spur but could be wrong. This is how the enclosure looks right now, it looks a little bare...

Have you tested your heat lamp to make sure it won’t burn her? Basking for adult female veileds should be 80F.

For my veiled chameleons terrarium I have a dual lamp that comes with a 5 UVB light and a basking light. For the first couple of days, the UVB light wasn’t warming his enclosure enough and so we got a stronger one and it was completely fine for a couple days until yesterday I noticed these...

Keep in mind they will go as high as they can possibly get in the cage. This does not mean he is not warm enough this means that is the highest spot. The closer to a fixture the higher the risk of a thermal burn. They do not know that their skin is frying they will just sit there and continue to...

Ok cool I’ll raise the light annd heat and keep a close eye on it thank you Soo much! I should note too that I’ve notice when she changes color either sleep colors or when’s she’s about to eat or just fired up the possible burn mark completely disappears and he color looks normal it’s only...

I will lower the wattage of bulb immediately, is this spray any better? I do not have access to silver sulfadiazine at the moment. Zymox Zylafen Reptile Topical Spray? Would it be beneficial at all until I can get her to a reptile vet?

Just want to add that when building your reptibreeze (edit to say: XL!) that the top knob on the door is exactly 8". If you keep this in mind when hanging your basking branches for UVB it helps. 🙂 The UVB in the picture is an Arcadia t5 6%, the bulb that is new; so will burn out to about 3.00 on...

Once you acquire your UVB lighting, it's good to refer to this chart in knowing the placement. As you'll either purchase the reptisun t5ho 5.0 or arcadia prot5 6%, you will want their basking branch, that is, the one which will also sit under the basking bulb, to be 8 to 9 inches below the top...

I know this seems kinda Uhmm… but I don’t have a thermometer. I don’t really want to share this personal stuff online, but I’m not the one buying everything so. You can sort of guess what it is. If it makes sense. But no, he was only gaping that one time under his basking light. I’ve never...

I moved it down and he's already looking lighter in color and vibin on his basking branch so thank you.

2yr old male veiled chameleon, not sure if he has burns on the front of his face, he’s never had these spots before. The branches in his enclosure have been in the same spot since I set up the enclosure and I’ve never had a problem before so I’m not sure how he could have burned himself. His...

I know as veileds get older, black patterning may start showing up on their face and elsewhere. If it's the same, or similar, on both sides, that's where I'd first lean. Keeping an eye on it is always a good idea, though. To me, it seems pretty scale-like, especially around the eyes. That said...

awesome thanks for the advice. definitely gonna return the heat bulbs and the housing for them. Yah going to be mounting the lights and such on the top of the screen. I got 304 stainless mesh for the top. I will check to make sure the hole size is comparable to aluminum window screen.

Thank you very much his basking branch is pretty close to the top so I made sure to raise his light about 6-8 inches because I was afraid of that I'm wondering if I should lower it by an inch or so to start or, I'm contemplating moving him into my living room where there are less drafts. Do you...

Thank you so much for this!!! I ordered the 5.5🙏🏼 it'll get here tomorrow. So like how would I deal with him climbing to the bulb tho? I'm assuming probing the fixture off the screen? How many inches do you think? I have a switchbot thermometer/hygrometer by the branch and rn it's measuring...

Hey there to me it looks like shedding. But the spot on her side with the white around the black. That is very common with a thermal burn. Basking temps should not exceed about 80ish. My guess and I am not a vet is that it is shedding and the black spot is a thermal burn. Thermal burns have...

Okay we are going to get the linear. We recently finished their 7 foot enclosures and the new watering/misting system in their enclosures. But that is definitely our next buy. The linear lighting. Okay I did throw some boxes away but thank you for telling me about the flat based bulbs. Will...

Hi. I’m not sure if that’s a burn or not. Best thing to do is keep a close eye on it for changes. If it is a burn, her scales may darken and start to shrivel and can form an open wound as the dead scales slough off. If you start seeing any changes that this or similar is happening, make a vet...

I'm using a humidity sensor with a probe inside the cage, and yes 60 is the lowest I can get it, starts at 75-80% in the morning and reaches 60% by 1-2. I know high humidity during the day is bad but I just cant find a way to bring it down, right now I have multiple fans and I'm ordering a...

Youngins are very explorative in new enclosures and so they notoriously climb screens. Often times they'll climb the ceiling too, so you'll want to raise up the lamps so the little fella won't burn themselves! Typically, we keep our basking branch 8-9 inches away from the lamp. If you got...
