@cyberlocc Haha growing pot is pretty much the norm now a days, I have no problems with it. They Need to know their lighting or nothing will grow to its full potential same with the reef guys growing their corals.
I’ve been lurking your posts though and you definitely seem to know your lighting...
Good job on your part that you are taking him to a vet to get a check up.
You won’t need the UVA bulb anymore. You will still need the basking dome though. The T5HO fixture with the linear bulb both provide Uvb and Uva. Also depending on the size of the cage you plan to build make sure you get...
Hello welcome to the forums :) It sounds like MBD I hope I’m wrong though. You have some things in your husbandry that need fixed. First off is he needs to be in a bigger enclosure than what he’s in right now. A male veiled chameleon needs bare minimum a 24x24x48 sized enclosure.
Your lighting...
It’s definitely good that your taking everything the extra mile! Like I said in my other post try not to OVERTHINK anything and stress yourself out, as long as you keep doing what your doing you will get through this! Everyone on here has given awesome support and advice for you and what your...
I have that same fixture from light your reptiles and am using the 6% Arcadia and the 6500k bulb. This is in a 24x24x48 cage with the highest branches 7-8 inches from the fixture. The size of your cage and how much foliage all play a roll into how much UVB power you need. I’ll tag someone who...
Yes you are going to want to supplement UVB this is one of the most important aspects in chameleon husbandry. Everyone recommends T5HO fixtures on here with a 6% Arcadia or 5.0 reptisun linear bulbs or 12% Arcadia or 10.0 reptisun linear bulbs this depends on cage setup,cage size,how big your...
The dimensions of parsley’s Vivarium. Is it a Vivarium? Looks like screen. I’m guessing it’s a 24x24x48 but it looks pretty big in the pictures so I was just wondering haha
I’d go with either a single 6% Arcadia and 6500k plant bulb for the dual fixture and a single 6% Arcadia for the single fixture. Unless you have a 6.5 solarmeter to check your uvi, always go with the 6% to be on the safe side. For the single fixture setup you can add led spotlight bulbs if you...
Not the best video haha but I got him eating from my fingers in slow motion on my phone! Not even a week in my care and he’s eating out of my fingers amazing!
Here are some photos of my setup. I used zip ties to anchor the pots and branches onto the dragon ledges and foamed around them with great stuff pond and stone.
