It's up to us to know the difference between a valid source and something some random guy decided to write on the internet. Case in point, the guy I was responding to is confusing air temperature (the weather) with surface temperature (the subject of this thread). They are not the same thing.

Reptiles Magazine panther chameleon care sheet, literally the first thing you'll see on a Google search: "Adult panther chameleons need a basking spot of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit with the ambient temperature between 75 to 85 degrees; smaller panther chameleons should have a basking area of...

Thanks for the response. The ceramic is an additional heat source coincident with the basking light, as stated in the OP; not a replacement for a light. He has many climate zones. And despite the vet's assurance that the bloodwork came back "perfectly normal", when I asked for a copy of the...

My nearly 4 yr old Ambilobe just had a well check and got a clean bill of health. Given his age I had the vet do fecal, blood, and a physical exam, and the word is that all is perfectly normal. He's never had a health problem before. However, the cham himself is telling me he's getting older...

On the other hand there are these: https://www.amazon.com/Individually-Controlled-Protector-Compatible-Appliances/dp/B07BLTV6ZW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G5RLH8R/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1 If the description is accurate you should be able to program each outlet via the smartphone app.

Yeah, it seems that all the 30-ish dollar units are like that; a group of constant power outlets and a group running on the same timer. To get individually programmable outlets on the strip you'll have to look outside of reptile and aquarium stuff and look into computer & network power...

Wanting out is not abnormal for a hormonal male. He's stricken with wanderlust because he's looking for the other kind. When Hilts was in that phase I made him a free range to keep him from stressing out. Chameleons can also become 'programmed' by repetitive patterns. It's not really you he...

Completed enough to let the occupant move in. I bought some supposedly low-glare acrylic called P99 but it was still quite reflective. Hilts doesn't puff up and freak out over reflections but it does make him uneasy. Instead of that, I went with cheap plastic panels that are meant to cover...

The plants have moved in. You can also see one of the drains. The side pots are 6". plants by ispeedonthe405 posted Dec 19, 2017 at 6:55 PM

first pass

A little more progress: cosmetic panels for above & below the side screens. The mister nozzles are peeking out from behind the leaves. You can see how the two side pothos will hang, with the pot currently empty. whole shot by ispeedonthe405 posted Dec 16, 2017 at 3:59 PM nozzles by...

Paint job on the branches. The good news is that I only have to fool a chameleon. I used an airbrush and made up different shades of transparent brown and green as I went. After that I went over it all with the airbrush again, this time loaded mostly with a matte acrylic base mixed with...
