Are you guys using tap water or bottled water? I know there are some chemicals in treated water but don't know if they could be harmful so I have been using bottled water so far (1 month)

Cool, thanks again guys for all the help & ideas. Call this thread dead. :)

NO not digital. One is a mercury thermometer, and the other is the bi-Metal style that they sell at pet stores.

It all escapes out the screen top. I have used 2 different thermometers to get temps moving them around to verify both are giving similar readings.

Reading that link you posted leads me to believe the blinding is a UVB radiation problem not an intense light problem. Well that's the balance issue I'm having with the basking lamp. It has to be that hot & close to keep up the temps in the rest of the cage, so that's why I was going to get...

OK so 60-63 at the bottom of the cage is OK? And 70 around the top with the basking spot around 90-100 (if he sits right under the light)? I thought they generally liked 70-80 average temps. You are the experienced one offering assistance so I'll trust you if you agree my temps are OK.

Thanks for the quick reply. Never thought about the Chameleon using the waterfall for a bathroom. Guess I'll keep a close eye on that and change out the water a lot for preventative measures anyway. I've been feeding him crickets in a small Tupperware bowl that the crickets can not climb out of...

Hello all, seems you run across sutff like this great forum after[I] you already made decisions/purchases, but anyway looking to get it right. After some basic web searching / reading on Panthers I [I]thought I was an educated buyer.:eek: So I went ahead and bought my set up and a few days...

Hello everyone. New Ambanja Panther owner. I thought I did my research before buying but now I have a few important questions I need to solve. As with everything else I guess there is lots of bad info out there which I think I followed and now need GOOD advice. Most of it has to deal...
