this makes my brain hurt! lol

i'm no expert - especially as a very new chameleon owner, but IMHO i think that they are just fine with proper humidity levels in the day. i have no worries for the night, my cham is getting enough water during the day when the temps are good and the lights are on. i kinda doubt that a well...

uvb can only penetrate about 12" in the best of the fluorescents. in order to receive full spectrum uvb please make sure that he can get within 8-12" of the light. I also read in an earlier post where you said the temp is about 90F... did you measure the basking temp or the ambient temp? its...

alright its settled then. i can place the light right on top of the new cage and in 5 1/2 months i will just buy a smaller uv bulb. i do however, have the option to give the uv bulb to my bearded dragon and take his 24" canopy and just buy a new uv bulb for it to give to my cham :). thanks...

unlike it there in the states, here in Vancouver, Canada, everything like this is extremely overpriced. the tube is 48" long 5.0 "ZooMed" brand and it really did cost 60 for just the bulb. they sell ballasts at home depot for about $50 and up for the 4". i got the 'end-cap' style ballast for...

i am in the process of building a new enclosure 5' high, 2.5' wide and 2' deep.. however, i was planning on using the light vertically in the new cage... any suggestions on how to solve my dilemma? i don't want to have to go out to buy a new bulb (this one was $60!) and i would rather have the...

wow absolutely wonderful! they look so cute!

I was in the home depot here in canada just last weekend, they're selling those palms for 15 bux! what a mark up!

is he hydrated enough? what is the humidity/misting frequency.. etc.? how long have you had him?

ok i have a pik of his temperary enclosure... i know that it's small, and glass, but he is only 5 months old and he will be in a new home within the next week. at night i cover the open part with more of the screen you see, i just want to have as much airflow as possible. another thing i've...

oh wow! ok the, i was mostly concerned about the cold window that he is near... the new cage he's going into will be about 6 feet away from the window and i have no worries about a draft. and i did measure the temp at night without the bulb and it was 62F (thank god for digital- thermometers!!!

Marley's water is now additive/suppliment free! the tank is upright and the open left side is where the light is, and it runs the full height of his enclosure (the wire cover is 1/2" squares - no problems letting those uv rays through). I am still concerned about the night time temps.. they are...

i also wanted to mention that he is not exploring as much and is going to sleep an hour before i turn the lights out. he rests very close to the branches and just looks around. at least he ate another cricket in the last little while...

ok. i've had my male veiled chameleon for 13 days now (boxing day, actually). his name is Marley (like 'bob marley') and he was born july 2007. he's 4" long from nose to bum. the first couple days were alright as we were both adjusting to him being here but now things seem to be amiss... i use...
