Just want to mention that after the light changes he still continue to want to escape and hangout outside of his cage. Is it safe to say there’s nothing wrong with his enclosure and he just wants to explore?

You were absolutely right. I got home from work and he was trying to bask under the plant light. I have everything adjusted, now I just need to monitor temperature but I think it should be a good setup how I have it now. I can’t thank you enough for your time and guidance for the proper light...

I’ll rearrange to match the first light setup. I think that will be the best layout for my setup

I just installed the new led it’s super bright and looks great. I also made adjustments to the cage and the hot spot is 83

you need to turn the lights off for 12 hours and on for a 12 hour cycle. A nightime drop in temperature is healthy as long as it’s not below 60s.

Thank you Mike!

Yeah you’re not wrong. I’m gonna do some research on outdoor keeping

I did get this led light. Do I need to worry about heat emitting from the led?

Thank you. I live in Florida with my ax set to 72. So this said, what’s the best way to get a nightime drop for the reptile? I think that is going to be my biggest challenge when taking care of one of this species

That’s an awesome setup. Wait a year or two when everything grows in nice and thick

Is hoehnelli care the same for other montane species specifically Jackson’s chameleon? I’m trying to do research on hoehnelli and there’s much more resources out there for Jackson’s care and not a whole lot compared to hoehnelli care specifically.

Happy to say I have ordered the plant light recommended to me by Klyde. My heat light is raised a couple inches and pointed at an angle toward the uvb. And upon further inspection about the uvb levels the closest basking branches are 8-9 inches from the top. I was wrong when I said it was 6...

Gotcha. I follow Bill Strand and he recommends a 3-6 uvb. I’d imagine with my basking branch at 6 inches below it’s in the range of 3-6 but above 3. So with Bemans research does she find that a uvi above 3 is harmful or that’s simply the minimum requirement?

I’m happy to be here! I wish I got here sooner but here I am now. I really love chameleons and Reptiles. I have thoughts about turning chameleons into a career but baby steps first. I want to have my husbandry for my 1 chameleon 100% dialed in and I really want to expand the species I own and...

Nice idea I’ll make that happen. I notice you have your uvb raised. Do you have a 6%? I don’t have my uvb raised up it’s directly on the screen but according to the research I’ve done the closest basking branch to the uvb is 6 inches underneath with I have heard is a safe distance. I do not have...

Thank you. I had no idea the colored led lights weren’t good for him, I’ll make the adjustments today!

Thank you for the advice. Would it be best to shut the plant light off for a few days until I get a new one shipped or just leave it for another few more days until I get a better one?

Okay I’ll move the uvb back to how I had it. I just moved it like 4 days ago. I think I blew his little mind when I moved his lights around he was so confused at how I did that lol

Awesome thank you! Yeah he used to be really shy and scared when I first got him so I encouraged him by leaving his door open for him to open up a little bit and explore! And now that’s all he wants lol. Once he gets out of his cage he doesn’t do much other than just hangout on the vine I have...

Thank you I’ll definitely look into a better plant light. I got mine for free from my dad who gardens and does some indoor stuff with plants. In regards of the temperature basking spot I have never seen him gape from overheating and he seems to like the toasty 95. If I don’t see signs of heat...
