Hello people!
I have never noticed this till now, but there are two kinds of heat bulbs for reptiles: basking spot and daylight spot (beam) bulb. So untill now i have always used daylight spot bulb and it worked great, my veiled had great colors and ate A LOT. Sooo, I went to another city and...
Thank you, I am also soo happy, its my first chameleon and I knew stuff but I wasnt sure what am I doing, people in my country, Croatia, dont know anything about them and when I posted picture here (I will post it now again) I felt so attacked by everyone... but i got it like that sooo this is...
Hey! Just want to say that i raised temperature of terarium to 30C, and basking spot must be around 35 or even more (didnt measure) and she started to eat like crazy and shine in bright colors...she also drinks much. Turns out that breeders kept her in those conditions so she must be used to it...
Coil are not good?
I didnt know that bc they gave this to me in pet shop...i should get those like stick looking ones (sorry for english).... btw this is enclosure now...opened, bulbs are the same...i keep opened at night bc of air and its around 20 C anyway at night, she does move more now and...
Thank you for help.. ive already got her more branches and fake plants and she does move more and her movements are much more energetic...she drinks normaly but eating is problem and the fact that she is sometimes gray like this and wierd...now i also think that tje problem is in bulbs but also...
Hey everyone!
I have a veiled female 3-4 months old. So im wondering when they start to carry eggs, how does it looks like and what to do... i know a little bit how to make an egg bin but i need more info. Can chameleon this young carry eggs? Should I always have a bin in a terrarium or only...
Oh thank you, and yes you are right im trying to get more vegetation and branches it will take time bc everything is sprayed with pesticide....so im trying to find without it
Is the basking spot of 36C (around 95 F) too much for veiled female 3 months old??? When it was like that she opened her mounth and seemed overheated to me but when i changed the temperature of basking spot to around 28 she seems to eat less...im using 100 watt heat bulb but its a big...
Oh.. and what do you think is 75 or 50 watts better... also meybe on the pic doesnt look like it but its a big vivarium and the uvb bulb is almost 15 inches away from the highest spot that cham could go and heating even more....and i will put it on the higher place when she allow me to handle...
It is safely placed i cant even move those wires by hand force...i did measure the temp right under the heating bulb and its 37 but on the place where chameleon spends all the time, there on the branch under the uvb light is 26-27C.... but it seems its 2much bc she acts better when heating is...
Huh...i know its sounds impossible but that is the temperature somehow...but i will replace it with lower wattage...maybe 50? Also she does see the insects and she did eat them on the day one from that position and she is looking at them but not eating them now....
