I believe it is every 6 months. You are due for a change.

Def dont mount it on the side. Put it on top as close to the basking spot as possible. Chams absorb majority of their uv and heat from their back, not there side. I dont believe an 18" fixture will fit an 18" bulb. I believe a 20" fixture fits an 18" bulb. At least thats what I had to do.

No, could be very stressful for the cham. Probly not good for it either. They absorb uv and heat from their back. Not there belly or side

Agreed! I still would be weary about pushing 90 degrees in captivity though. Just for the sake of the cham living longer.

Calm down guy. Im not out to get you here and you seem to be getting a little excited. This is just a message board. The only thing I wasn't sure about was if the new cfl bulbs were completely safe for chams yet. They say they have fixed them but they have not been out long enough and I have yet...

That is true. With temps like that, I think a panther or veiled can thrive in Florida without any problems. (Of course not 12 hours of direct sunlight though. Way to hot no matter what.) As long as they are in the shade most of the day, they should thrive. My juvenile panther did.

Try putting a real plant in there like a ficus or hibiscus is even better for veiled's because they like to munch on them. It will also help with the humidity.. looks kinda dry in there. You don't need substrate. You risk mold and mildew which in turn can cause some URI. Change the uvb to a...

I have to agree. The temp drops drastically at night if you look at it. It also rains almost every night im sure.

http://www.foreca.com/Madagascar/Ambilobe How can they take 101 degrees? I thought 90-95 was max heat for panthers.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like it could be a burn. You need to change your lighting immediately. Chams need 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. You need a standard 40 or 60 watt house hold bulb for his basking light. As far as uvb goes.. Is your reptisun a coiled compact bulb? or is...

Haha the pics looked so similar I was hoping it wasn't taken from wikipedia. Anyway excellent pics man. You see a lot of gators? I caught one in my backyard a couple months ago with an ultralight bass pole but had to cut it loose. Bastard was eating all my bass.

Courtney, we are trying to help you. Listen to our advice if you choose to. If not, and you think that this forum is a bunch of people who just raise chams and sell them for profit, go find another chameleon forum. - Good luck

Wow, great pics. The waterfall you guys are seeing is victoria falls on the Eastern Cataract, on the Zambian side. (According to wikipedia with the same exact picture)

whoops. I tend to read through things way to quickly. Yes as pssh said, look for the hemipenal bulge right behind the vent on the tail.

Wow. Every post I read from you, I learn something new. You said it all man. "Recognition of a keeper or of a routine and subsequently reducing their fear, flight or defense response is completely different from the aforementioned emotions. Acclimation to routines and familiar stimuli is...

look for tarsal spurs on the back feet. They look like little bumps. If your cham has them, then its a dude.

Just because someone says they are a reptile specialist doesnt mean they are cham specialist. Hope your girl is still alive
