When my cham did it she wasn't mad. All I can think is I had a small round scab where I cut one of my knuckles and she mut have thought it was food. She also did it to the lens of my sunglasses once before.
I had my female veiled out yesterday climbing on my hand and I could tell she was looking at something because she was looking around like she does when she lining up a cricket. Then she shot her tounge out at my hand. I let her walk around for a little bit longer and every time my hand got...
I have a heat lamp on one side and the night bulb on the other side. The hot side stays in the mid 90's and the cool side is in the low 80's during the day.
Ya shes still in the tank as the new enclosure is not finished. (went plant shopping today) I covered the 3 sides with a mesh so she only has glass on the front. shes still pretty young so I dont think the refelction bothers her for now.
So I keep the enclosure around 90 degrees F (is this ok) in the day and in the mid 60's at night. thats a temp drop of 25 dergrees is that too much.

LOL
I'm not trying to keep her outside. But when its gets that cold outside the temp in the house is about mid 60's. With the night bulb her enclosure stays around 80 at night. During the day I keep it right around 90.
It seems no matter what I read about chameleons there is always other info saying the exact oppisite. One question. Some say you dont need a night bulb
but I live in Canada. In the winter its - 40 outside at night and I think my cham would get way too cold without it. Thoughts?

R.I.P. to a truly great man. I can honestly say I have never been so choked up by the loss of somebody I didn't even know. All my prayers are with the Irwin family.

I'm in the process of building a mesh enclosure but I'm trying to figure out the best dimension and lighting setup. I have been getting alot of different input. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. I was just curious as this is my first chameleon and I am excited to see her shed. I heard their colors get brighter with every shed as they are growing is this true?
