    Bit worried now

    Yeah I am still using the 12% t8 I have got the 6% on order in the T5 with the canopy as that's cheaper than getting it all seperate. The basking light has been moved up now and holds a steady 92-95 on the digital thermostat that's strapped to the basking site. The resin I did this is...

    Bit worried now

    So another week goes by and there is still no change! He is now starting a shed which normally takes a few hours but this one started yesterday morning and it's not come off yet! One thing I guess though is he must be growing and eating in order to shed

    Is my heat gun broken

    Well as a test I hold it on my hand and it says 31 and then press the lazer and it reads the same but is different when I'm in the cage

    Is my heat gun broken

    I got a 100w halogen in there now and moved the new thermometer to roughly the middle of the cage and it taken the ambient temp up to 80 which is much warmer than the ever been so I'm hoping it will make a difference to him being black all the time. I'm just a bit worried that if I'm not reading...

    Is my heat gun broken

    10-15 degrees F maybe more. I don't know if it's because I'm holding it on a exo-terror vine and it's rubbery and bumpy though

    Is my heat gun broken

    So if you have read any of my posts I'm having a problem with trove and him being dark all the time....anyway Anyone have any ideas why my temp gun gives me too different temps? Hooter with the lazer off an cooler with it on and that's holding it in the same place at the same distance

    Right so I'm having a problem with my Cham and the temps. I currently have one 150w spot bulb that holds the temps at 72ish and that about 1.5ft from the bulb do the spot build that produce uvb kick out more heat? I still think it needs to come up as my panther really isn't happy and hasn't...

    Bit worried now

    Do chameleons show any other signs of stress and not happy or is it only by colour change? because he seems chille out led on his basking spot. One thing it have notices is his scales along his back are a shade of grey almost like a shed colour but it's sort of dotted all over and along the...

    Bit worried now

    So I got a little water heater for the mist king to see if that makes any difference too. What temp should I set it to? It can go from 61-93, I see some heat and some don't. I strapped a new digital thermometer to the basking area and it reads 94.8. I know this is not the best way to test it but...

    Bit worried now

    The basking spot is what it's meant to be but that's because I have moved the branches up to about 4" from the top of te mesh.

    Bit worried now

    So I moved the thermometer to about 2ft from the basking area and it reads 69 that's too low isn't it? I can't seem to get the temps up. Should I go with something like a 100w (currently 75w) is there any other way of not loosing heat out the top? like I said all 3 sides are covered bar the...

    Bit worried now

    The other half said that today his bum was sort of bulged out almost like when he has a poo but she said he was like it for a while. She watched him an he didn't poo or anything. He was out when I got home from work sat on if bush in his normal bright colours! This is a right pain in the ***...

    Bit worried now

    Would you also suggest a vet visit to check it's not anything medical?

    Bit worried now

    So this was him just a moment ago As for the polycarbonate it's not reflective like glass can be but I'm thinking that maybe because it blurs things out that it could be that. I'm going to get some plastic paint this weekend and paint it dark green or black and see if that helps at all...

    Arcadia Lights!!

    Well I can't put a finger on anything else and have gone over and over everything in his cage and seen hundreds of peoples setups and mine is no different ofthen than a lot of people use a 6%. A guy who was chatting to me on one of my posts had a similar problem and it was down to the uvb being...

    Newbie to chameleon

    You ideally want a screen cage think females do well in 3x2x2 but someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

    2ft isn't very tall if anything it should be the other way about 3ft tall by 2ft wide

    wood sealer

    I know I'm from the uk but if you want a product that will last you for years you need yacht varnish. It's designed to take copious amounts of water. Not waterbase and will need to cure for a few days but that stuff is like titanium of the varnish market!
