I am having heat problems. I got my cham home 3 days ago and he has been dark brown the entire time except for when he is sleeping. Here is the situation:
Chameleon: Panther
Cage: 18x18x36
Temperature: 70
Basking: 90
I'm thinking one- that he could still be stressed from the move and...
Im not sure what type of cham you have, but some one asked me if I knew what the night time temp was in Madagascar right now. I checked and it was running between 55 degrees and 60 degrees. You maybe allright depending on what cham you have.
Pay attention to the temps and wind outside. I am waiting for a sunny day with low winds at 70 degrees. I live in the high desert though, so as soon as the sun starts going down, I will pull him back inside. Hope this helps.
I am picking up a panther next week from chameleon caretakers. I ran a cool mist humidifier over night and got the humidity up to 55%. I also ordered a herpa mist, hope that it will be here before next weekend.
just checked sunshine and they arent taking new customers. Might have to check elsewhere. Only a week and a half before we get our little guy! Jessica over at chameleon caretakers is going to shoot me over some new pics tomorrow... can't wait!
