cham enclusure

[kinyonga]

She’s old enough to be producing eggs already. She needs a proper place to lay them inside her cage or she will likely become eggbound. She can also develop reproductive issues if you are feeding her too much and keeping the temperatures too high. Proper supplements, lighting and care of the insects are important too. Be careful of the D3 and prEformed vitamin A…they are fat soluble and can build up in the chameleon’s system and lead to an overdose.

The UVB light should come from above and not pass through the glass.
pits more natural. It’s better for them to produce their D3 from exposure to the UVB light than from supplements because UVB usually can’t lead to an overdose like supplements can.

If the lid of the cage has the glass replaced with screen, then you can create a chimney effect with the lights to create airflow in the cage.
