We’re going to be doing it with an ATI T5 Sunpower Dimmable. It’s super sweet! two channels, 10 set points per channel and here’s the kicker - you set an on time and then set a percentage and a endpoint time. Say lights on a 7 am, 100% at 10am, and then the controller will ramp each channel...
Okay, so here we go.
As mentioned earlier my daughter and I are getting a chameleon, she’s almost twelve and a great kid. We searched for Veiled breeders high and low always thinking that FLChams appeared to be the best of the “commercial” breeders.
She wasn't in love with what the had...
Details on the lighting:
as per chameleonacademy.com a single T5 HO Arcadia 12% in a single reflector 7” above the top of enclosure gives no more than UVI 6 inside the enclosure and a usable UVI of 1-3 from 5” inside to 25” deep into the cage. Thus 12”-32” below the fixture should be a huge...
Thanks for the feed back! I don’t have a solar meter either...still trying to recover from habitat expenses... I’m confident with the setup, i have done a lot of research and outside of checking it with a solar meter myself, I’m satisfied it’s safe. I’ll post details in a minute...we need the...
So... current state of concerns... just found out that our little guy will be here tomorrow from FLChams!!!
we‘ve been watching for a month or so and they just listed some babies sired by Naval, my daughters favorite! Needless to say she freaked and I jumped on it, and ordered a baby (2 month)...
Thanks! Added two more horizontal branches, thanks for the suggestion.
Basking lamp has been lifted, I already had it on a dimmer so I just raised it about 6” and dialed in the temps again. And, I’ve still got to drop a gravity drain from the pan to the bucket.
Thanks!
That’s exactly what I modeled the lighting on... the ATI quad has four single reactors, so according to Bills figures that would put a single fixture 12% at 7” above top of cage...I went 8.5” for a safety factor. Should still have plenty penetration to be sufficient.
Good call on the...
Thanks, we've been devouring ALL of the wealth of information here... The Naval babies just popped up on their site and we jumped on one, and no kidding, a minute latter stumbled on this thread. Have to say its got me nervous... As rookie keepers, we're just hoping things go smooth...
Glad...
How’s Yoda doing? So sorry, sounds like a awful situation...
Just ordered our baby Naval bloodline from FL Chams... is this something I need to worry about?!?
So...we’ve been plugging along on our build, and we just ordered a male baby Veiled from FL Chams!!!
Take a look and let me know if any of your trained eyes see any issues.
Thinking about putting the TKChameleons shooting gallery on the right hand side, between the dragon ledges, towards the...
