Ive had my veiled 3 weeks today, I have my basking lamp set in the low 90's with the gradient in the 80's with a 10* drop at night but, I never have seen her bask, she always hangs on the cooler side of her enclosure or down in the middle of the foliage, she does hang on the side quite a bit...
This is the first time I I have seen Polly show a pattern or spots, shes usually just all green, does this indicate anything? ( Ive only had her 3 weeks)
When hand feeding a Chameleon, is there a technique to it?
1.Should you use tongs?
2.Bare fingers and how far away from the animal should you hold the food?

Ive looked and read much about humidity levels, I understand that it varies depending on species. I have also read different opinions and that a decent humidity level range from 50% to 80%, Ive read the care sheets and some are not specific on levels but merely state "moderate Humidity"...

I plan to use an artificial substrate like an artificial grass carpet, paper or paper towels but, I have seen so many enclosures with Cocco Fiber, I have no plans on using CF but I have read that its not the best to use but still many use it, what's everyone else using?
So as a hopeful new owner of a Charm soon, I obviously want to set its enclosure up first and have it as near perfect before I buy. This is what I have and plan to use.
Its dimensions are 36" L X 24" W X 63" H
