    My veiled chameleon is not going to his basking spot

    Got it! I had gotten a book to learn about chameleons when he was a baby and it says that adults need up to 100F temperatures, but that always felt too high too.

    My veiled chameleon is not going to his basking spot

    Hi Kinyonga, We live in the Monterey Bay. No vitamin powder, should I get one? I know he gets the supplement when I give it to him because I continue to dust the berry with it until I see it's gone, sometimes he goes for it as soon as I put it on his feeding dish. I gutload the insects...

    My veiled chameleon is not going to his basking spot

    Yes, with the help of my husband. I didn't like that all enclosures for sale felt too small so for my birthday last year that's what I ask for, lol!

    My veiled chameleon is not going to his basking spot

    Thank you Beman!!! I just ran to dial down his temperature. He doesn't eat any other vegetables I've offered so that's why I got in the habit of giving him one blueberry or blackberry daily, but he doesn't eat them everyday. I put 2-4 crickets in his enclosure everyday but he doesn't always...

    Is this the right bulb?

    So any UVB Bulb that says "5.0" equals to 6%? or are those two different measurements? I just purchased the Arcadia that @hiddenflaws recommended, but it's more expensive than the Reptisun alternatives, I'm just lost in the numbers and comparisons. Thank you!

    Is this the right bulb?

    Thank you! I'm so confused about the strength, so much mixed information everywhere. I fear of exposing him to too much UVB but also don't want to give him less than ideal. His cage is by a window which sometimes I open and he can get direct sunlight from it. If @jannb @kinyonga @GoodKarma19...

    Is this the right bulb?

    THANK YOU for the link!!!! is it ok to have a 5.0 even if it is outside the screen? the vet was the one who told me to get the 10.0 since a lot of it filters through the screen.

    Is this the right bulb?

    Hi everyone! I have a two-month-old veiled chameleon. A few things were going on with him so I took him to the vet yesterday and today I'll start him on ABX. However, I am very concerned about the quality of his light. I have the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent (13 watts) in...
