I'm not expert by any means, as I am new to the chameleon world as well, however, I do know a thing or two about reptiles in general. Openeing their mouth, or 'gaping', is their way to cool off. You may want to check your temps and make sure they're not too high. Basically, your cham is getting...

Yea, I definitely think putting some more vines towards the top, and closer to the basking area is the next thing I'm going to do. I'm going to go by Michaels today, and maybe grab some sanitized petrified wood (thin stick). Maybe hang it from one top corner of the cage, then down diagnally via...

Here's my little guy :) Haven't named him yet. Thinking Yoshi :rolleyes:

Thanks. See, that's sort of why I'm confused - You say when you had a 100w, 12'' distance would give you 90-95 degrees basking. I have a 100w, and for some strange reason, the basking spot is only 80-82 degrees.. Very weird. Aside from that, he spends time there, but not all day. He actually...

Nice. Points taken. thanks!

I barely got my little vieled yesterday, and he's already eaten 3 crickets from my hand. What i do is tear a leg off of a cricket, then let him flop around in my hand (i know, poor cricket:p), I place my hand a few inches away from my cham, and BOOM. He sways side to side, then launches his...

:rolleyes:Actually, after I posted last, i went home during my lunch, hand fed him a cricket, then created a dripper. Only problem is, yes, it seems drainage may be an issue. The bottom of the cage was getting pretty wet. I had it dripping into his Money Tree. It looked perfect, on the tree, and...

Great. Glad to hear that 80-85 degrees is ideal for basking. Like I said, so far, he actually doesn't even spend a lot of time in his basking area, which tells me maybe he's confortable with the ambient temp. He's actually spending the majority of his time on his money tree, which is opposite...

Thanks i look.forward to posting pics and I really enjoy the forum. Extremely informative. Maybe he cab climb the cage but he hasn't attempted yet. The screen is rather tight and I don't.think could get his little grip in there. One thing I should note, he's spending this whole evening on his...

Ok ill try to raise his tallest vine. As far as burning, he hasn't tried to climb the cage at all yet. so far he's sticking completely to his money tree and his vines. Ive been told its good to keep the basking light about 12" away from their basking spot, which is why I'm confused that its...

Hi everyone, As you can see, I'm new to this board(1st post). I've been researching everything needed for chams the last few weeks, as I built a nice terrarium and ordered a BEAUTIFUL vieled from the Houdini bloodline. The one thing that I've seen a variety of answers when researching is...
