So I need some advise, my chameleon today was on the vertical basking spot at the very highest point of his cage, he spent a lot of time in that one spot and then I noticed that he had his mouth a little bit open ( which I no means hes to hot so I fixed that issue with the dimmer switch...

I jus take a blade and shave off all the shavins of the wood and then soak the branches in water over night

thanks man that was a perfect response, how do u spot a burn on a chameleon what would it look like ? I don't see anything different on his skin it all looks healthy but just for future reference what would it look like ?

well I have a very nice basement, its fully developed and everything, I have a fan I sometimes put on, the cage is like 6 feet and 4 feet wide, the temps from the middle downward are a even 75 always, im thinking that the heat has issues staying into the cage due to the issue of a all mesh cage...

well He is in the basement of my house, so its a bit colder and more humid then the rest of my house and the entire cage is mesh so yeah, but he doesn't show burns and I have water dripping 12 hours a day so I think he justs a odd ball

I got a digital temp reader it works correctly im sure of that, its a 150 day glo basking bulb, I've tried 100 watt ones but he just doesn't like it, he looks cold dark and try's to warm up for way to long periods, then once I put the 150 watt one back in he's happy warms up a bit and is active...

so I don't know what is with my veiled chameleon but he for some reason loves the heat at really high temps, I just checked his basking spot in his cage and its at 107F, at first I tried to lower it because its on one of those heat lamps that has the dimmer switch to control heat but when ever I...

hey, is it best for a chameleon to have lots and lots of fake foliage or just a little and more open space with sticks and braches for my chameleon ?

yeah just a figure of speech I turn his lights off at night

uh he's about 8 mouths old but he loves his heat like no other veiled I have ever seen, I got a 150 watt basking bulb at the top and he gets as close as he can to it and looks like he enjoys it, I know a 150 watt sounds like way to much and I feared that to so I switched it to a 100 watt but it...

Yeah I have a veiled, it's about 95 at the peek under his basking spot the temp around the rest is about 85 and the bottom is like 72

okay thanks, I have 4 lights because its a prettybig mesh cage like 100 gallons like 5 feet high by like 4 feet wide so I tried to cage up the settings because people told me he only needs to lights, but once I switched that my chameleon started going dark and flatting his body to get more heat...

Hey is it good to have a dark side of the cage where there is not that much light and a side that has lots of light and heat ?

okay thanks so much, yeah my cham recently has been showing stressing colors, so I just have a 150 basking bulb on one side and the uvb on the other, cage seems a little dark but I guess that's what he likes ?

okay should I turn off the two top bulbs and have the one basking a 150 watt and then just the uvb ?

okay so as you can see the cage I have for my veiled, I have a 100 watt basking bulb I just put in on the side, then I have a 100 watt house bulb on the top and a 100 watt blue reptile heat bulb, and on the other side is a no heat but a uvb bulb, now I no the mid top of the cage is around 80...

Its about 95 in his basking spot, and 80 for the rest of the top part of his cage and about 75 towards the bottom half

no that's a uvb light, his basking is on the opposite side of the cage, but yeah I changed the lights, he has a 150 watt basking bulb ( wattage higher because its hard to keep the heat in the cage do to the fact its all mesh) and then on the other side he has his uvb light and a 100 watt blue...

So I have posted this message before but now I am adding a picture for your advise, anyways so I have a 7 month old veiled chameleon and he eats and drinks perfect but ever since I changed him from his gallon cage to a 100 gallon cage he has changed his color scheme for weeks to a darker color...

My veiled recently has been moved from a 30 gallon flexarium to a 100 gallon flexarium, since he has been put into the new cage he had one shed about a day after the move and ever since his color which is usually a light green with dark green lines and turned to brown completely with a few dark...
