Hello!
This is my second go around with chameleons, the first time was a little guy I stupidly got from Petco. I knew better at the time, but I was for sure I could bring him back to health! Long story short - he died a week after I brought him home.
That was six months ago, and I've finally decided my open wound was healed, and it was time to move on! (I only had him for a week, but I loved him so dearly for that week!) I did more research, and upped my game plan. I'm picking up my newest reptilian child friday night from LegendaryChameleons !
Here is my set up- please give me opinions;
18x18x36 reptibreeze
8 "perches" going across the width
two large vines
UVB lamp
Basking lamp, perch below is 7.5 inches from the lamp itself
two hanging pothos; I am growing these from sprouts off my mothers pothos, so they are a bit puny as of now! Which explains the ridiculous fake plants! There are two small ones on the left side of the enclosure, and a large one on the right back corner. I only put these in there to give him somewhere to hide until his pothos plants grow more!
I've left the lights on for about an hour now, just to get a feel for temps, and I seem to be having a difficult time with my basking area. Its at 75- and I'm using a 40 watt bulb, should I up to 60? If there is another or better way, please inform me!
I also have a mister, and a "reptifogger" for humidity!
