Heavily plant the flexarium with safe plants...give him adequate climbing areas....not to close to the basking light however, you don't want thermal burns. Yes you can transfer him to the new cage during day time....you never touch a sleeping chameleon .
The moving fan at the top would stress them out....in the wild there is no moving fans...stress = chameleon death. If you want to do high humidity then get a reptarium mesh cage with smaller mesh holes....or build a wood and glass cage with screen bottom and top or (all cages should have a...
Oh tiff I'm sorry. This has to be rediculasly awful for you to go through. I wish him well. I'm sure we all do. This is what chameleon keeping is about. Loving and carrying for some of the hardest reptiles to keep in captivity. I hope he comes through.
Vields can go down to 50 degrees at night. Put the cham to sleep....go out to a dollar store or whatever....and get a normal incondesent house light that gives the appropriate temperature. Babie vields should have basking at 80...Female adults at 85-88 degrees and male adults should be...
Yeah please go nationwide.....so we don't have to buy from freaking petsmart anymore....for supplies...also...I'd like a place where I know I can buy diffent species of herps that are in great care....at one location.....and since national pet chains fail at keeping herps....we need you! NATION...
Carol stated everything above....however....never listen to petsmsart....they don't know what they are doing. Do your own research before purchase. This goes for all.
If the temperature and humidity matches what the species needs......then letting it live outside wouldn't even be an issue....basicly however long you feel....but if it's not in a cage....watch so it doesn't get attacked by anything.....and make sure the outside is ok for the species,
This is a possible result of having a high heat basking lamp to close to the basking spot of a chameleon. This is a nasty

Therefore there's no market in selling them....the introduction of Jacksons to Hawaii has ruined the trade for them.....it's like buying an anole in Florida from a petstore....you want a jacks? Take a short ride to the island that hosts them. And wahla.... They shouldn't be sold...common...just...
Yup....buy different wattages until you find the one that matches the temps you need....I use a 100 watt to get a 90 degree basking area for my male vield....I live in Ohio in USA....so that's just an example...most people just use incandescent bulbs....cheap...easy to replace.
