At the reptile shop I was at earlier today, the person helping me sold me a coil 5.0 UVB light. I was told by a number of forum members that those are bad and I need to get a fluorescent tube which I plan on doing tomorrow. I figure since the UVB lamp was wrong, it is entirely possible for the...
I will get the tube light ordered and once it gets here switch it out, I would be really uncomfortable taking it away completely until the tube light gets here. I got a supplement for it, the name is escaping me at the moment but I will write it down when I go back tomorrow for some food.
The woman at the reptile place suggested I get the coil one, I will certainly switch it out for a tube one though. Think the coil one if I pull it back a bit will be alright for a few days until the tube light ships in?
I got a pretty good sized plastic bin and drilled some holes in it, put a pothos plant and some bendy sticks as well as a water dish in there. He seems to be enjoying it pretty decently although it seems that he would rather be on me than in the enclosure. I am very new to the forum so I'm not...
I figured that would be the cage for the majority of the veiled's lifetime. I had talked to a few different people about that size and they said that should be plenty fine. Again though, I am pretty new to chameleons so I'm mold-able.

It doesn't zip but I was just going to get a screen (http://www.arcatapet.com/fullsize/7185.jpg) and rest it on top so it would seal it. I could get a plastic tub and put some holes in it instead of using a hamper. My reason for not getting a bonefied enclosure is because I know it will outgrow...
I have done a bit of reading on chameleon care and basic husbandry and I wanted to bounce this idea of some minds before I jumped on anything.
I will be getting a baby chameleon at some point and I have been looking at enclosures to figure out what the best solution is. The enclosure I plan...
