Okay so I got my baby yesterday and I got him in great health but I feel he is having a lot of trouble adjusting to his environment. Since this morning he has not left one part of his cage. I want to feed him and have him drink, but he won't walk around to see that there are crickets to eat...

hes not white anymore so it wouldn't be worth it unless you guys just want to see what he looks like any way ^.^

it was nothing extreme white it was more like the concrete white. The temp was not too high for him, when i went away he went black, and when I came back to mist his cage he turned white again, so every time he sees me he turns white so its just stress from being near me. Thanks for all the...

kk i just fixed it thanks for the tip

hes 4 months old and he cant access a spot that gets above 85 and RIGHT under the light isnt even 90 so he can't get burned, since he has been in the cage hes has stayed in the area that is around 75 degrees so temp.

ya i was right its about 74 where he is atm and he has not even entered under teh basking like here it is 85+ degrees

nothing is higher than 90 degrees, i dont even think it hits 87 and hes not even under the basking like atm so its probably 70-75 degrees let me measure just to be safe

he came with a tiny tiny amount of shed on him so I don't feel he is about to shed. and he just changed to a darker tint but its still pretty white and what do you mean by no pigment?

I understand that they should be a blacker color when they enter there new enviornment because they are stressed. He was a dark color when i took him out of the box and after I put him in his cage for a few min, but atm he is all white with his black stripes (panther cham). I don't expect this...

thanks for the tip rosco, if anyone said it would be necessary then i would have done it but after some more research I'm starting to think it won't be necessary. Now I just need to find some good padding

ya you can do it if you live in a place that won't change the cham's cage far from the preferred temp. It's fairly dry in So Cal so I would just make sure that you keep that in check. The only way you can tell for sure is by testing! (do this without a cham in it). just put the cage in the...

an ideal place is somewhere that does not have alot of vibrations and does not have a draft because you want to be able to control the temp and humidity as much as possible, just get those two factors checked off and the spot will work so not near a window or door, you could have him near a...

thanks for the info jack, its nice to know as many personal experiences as possible, seeing as how i'll be getting him at 3months old he'll grow up in an environment like that so he'll be used to it. but im still going to put the tempurpedic down

okay i called screameleons (site i bought the kit from) and they said that they tested specifically this and that the chameleon won't be able to burn himself, probably when i change to the 100watt will i raise the lamp but that won't happen for a while

I'm thinking I could put a lot of padding under the feet of the table the cage is on and under the cage and on top of the table OMG TEMPURPEDIC ITS PERFECT!! think about the commercials its gotta work! am I right? please let me know what you guys think and I still want to know if...

and he shouldn't go that long without the heat lamp either (uva)

they need UVB rays which can't go through plastic or glass. Also, you don't want them near the window because it gets too drafty (assuming its open). You're cham will set its waking schedule according the the sun, no matter how you set your lights he will see the sun come up through you're...

hmm that complicates things because I just bought two 60 watt bulbs yesterday and I won't think that will be enough unless i move the branches up I'll play around with things and check temps everywhere, what temp is too high? i know max basking temp is 95 should i just stay under 95?

white vinegar?

Long story short I'll be living in a house with 21 people and my room is adjacent to a main hallway. I'm worried about too much vibrations coming from they're and possibly two neighboring rooms. i don't think it will be too extreme though, are they're ways to put something under the cage or...
