The humidifier will make a difference, keep the air moist and will help cool the room. You'll notice just when you mist that your temps go a little down and your humidity goes up. Your fan will most likely circulate hot air, sorry lol. You'll really just need to get your ambient temps down at...
Definitely a few degrees, I get about a 6 degree difference but then again I'm in Oregon and get my temps down to low 60s. Without any additional help my temps would stay at 68-70 at night, with a fan they go down to 62. My humidifier is needed to keep my humidity high enough for my Multi...
Take a look at this article, it has valuable information about the species.

Anyways, what is your temp now? Basking and ambient temps? You can try putting him in the shower on his plant with the shower head pointed to the wall so your cham only...
I have not yet found the thread but found a few links stating issues that the old 5.0 Repti-Sun coil bulbs were causing.

And an article on UVB bulbs...I'll be looking more into numbers and ratings the bulbs have got, so I'll be researching...
I meant the old ones as well, I'll take a look at the thread. Thank you for mentioning it, Chris Anderson put out some information as well about the bulbs.
I would not, just keep your humidity up. They dehydrate easier when the humidity is down so just watch your temps and humidity.
Here's a basic care sheet you should take a look at.

Your temps need to be in the 60s at least. Just because a cham tolerates the higher temps doesn't mean it's good for them, most likely will die an early death. You can buy a humidifier and get a fan. That way your temps will be good and so will your humidity levels. Do this prior to getting your...
That's a nice Hibiscus...I only manage to kill them! Lucky, lucky chams! They look fantastic and healthy, really good job with them! :D Thank you for sharing, I love pics. Bonnie is a very pretty female, one of prettiest I've seen!
I think just offering some different feeders is great for their diet and isn't so boring. When you've little babies though it's a lot more difficult finding size appropriate food that doesn't eat through your wallet!! But yes, I definitely go on width between the eyes.
Just stick with the 5.0, some people use a 10.0 but have the bulbs raised quite a few inches from the cage. the 10.0 is designed for desert reptiles such as bearded dragons, etc. So a 5.0 is your best bet :)
That'll be quite a good Christmas present, I'll be getting another one too in about...
I look at width rather then lenth. To be honest I feed slightly smaller feeders in general just to be on the safe side and have not had any problems. I think of videos where you see adult panthers eating a preying mantis, obviously the mantis is pretty lengthy!
Seeing as it's a baby, use a 5.0 bulb. You can either use Repti-Glo or Repti-Sun, I use the Repti-Glo with no problems what so ever. Just make sure to change the bulbs every 6 months.
Kammers is a great place, many people on the forums have stunning chams from them :)
Unless you plan on free ranging him and bringing him out daily, get a 24x24x48cage. DIY has some of the best deals including the price of shipping.
$95 shipped for a 24x24x48 is quite good...
I can tell you that your temps are way too high. I have a K. Multi as well, your basking temp should be 85 at the highest. They are montane species and don't do well in the heat. Your ambient temps should be in the 70s, low 70s at the bottom, ambient in mid 70s and a basking temp of 85.
They...
