I have been preparing my enclosure over the last week to get it ready for my chameleon I am about to order. I am running into a few small problems, so I was hoping you guys could provide some final advice.
I am ordering a veiled cham from flchams this week, once everything is perfect.
1. Basking - I am only getting about 90 degrees from my 75w bulb, would a 100w provide more heat, or should I look into a halogen setup?
2. Reptisun Distance - How far does the light extend? I have a 24" diagonal across the top. The basking spot is about 8" from the top of the enclosure, so I am not sure if that's close enough or if I should mount the light inside the enclosure instead?
3. After Arrival - Should I feed him the day he arrives, or will he be too stressed to eat from the trip from Florida? Do I need to do anything special the day he arrives?
That's it for now, if I remember anything else I will add it on. I appreciate any replies, thank you guys.
