Hey all, so I'm gonna try to pack as much info into this post as I can, but the super sparknotes version of this is Cosmo my Nosy Be very rapidly appeared to get very ill and passed away by the time I'd rushed him to the emergency vet this morning. And when I mean sudden, I mean I wasn't seeing...
I can say with my enclosure I have a quad fixture with three plant bulbs and one 12% arcadia uvb bulb and it's raised about 6 or so inches off the screen. If your fixture is right ON the screen, I'd go with 5.0 or 6%
I hardly ever posted to the chameleon subreddit in my earlier years, but I had to leave it after seeing so many sick chams posted there because they followed the lousy husbandry advice. Literally the link posted in OP's post sites "TOO MANY PLANTS" as an issue lmao. What a joke and a detriment...

So, my panther, Cosmo, will occasionally just stick out his hemipenis. It goes back in normally, but he's just...sticking it out every once in a while and it's something my other male had never done. I'd been to the vet last month and they said it was normal so long as he put it back in, and...
His mom is Darwi Odrade, from the buy early save group. Looks like his maternal grampa has some great coloring too! https://chameleonsonly.com/collections/gurney-halleck
I was able to snap a few more shots of the boy. He's doing pretty well! Still settling in and exploring a bit more of his enclosure every day. Also has a pretty good appetite too and the poops to back it up :ROFLMAO:
