panthercrazy - there is only one bulb, sorry for the miscue.
I turned off the UVB light for now and just tried to cup feed some crickets with no success. :( I also just remisted and he made no effort to move from his basking spot to get another drink.
PITBULL - the lights are on for 12 hours per day, from about 7AM to 7PM nightly.
panthercrazy - yes it is a brand new fixture with the skinny bulbs. Should I change this fixture out for a ReptiSun 5.0 tube or something different?
Flash did just get misted and spent a long while drinking...
ponders - until 10 days ago he was under a compact flouro that came with the EXO-TERRA we had him in.

All of the superworms I can find locally are too big for the...
Thank You for the responses.
Firstly, Sancho - YES, we are getting a screen enclosure in the next few weeks when finances allow. Flash was an "unexpected gift" from my kids who know how much I missed having my vieled cham after he passed a few years back. I am using his old "baby tank" for...
here are some pics of our new cham......it's name is Flash (seemed unisex enough).
I was told that it is between 2-3 months old. The shop owner did not know much more than they were captive bred "panther" chameleons. I have some experience with veiled chams and decided to give this one a...

I am the proud owner of a young panther chameleon and decided to sign up and read what I could on proper care and handling of the little furcifer.
I have experience with veiled chameleons, but have no experience with other types.
I am currently feeding it small...
