Need a little advice finishing
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Panther Chameleon,male,around 7 months old.I have been taking care of him for around 4-5 months.
* Handling - Only when I take him outside or when he wants out.
* Feeding - Crickets,mealworms,superworms,butterworms and hopefully some silkworms here soon.He gets about 6 crickets a day and I sometimes give him a worm or 2 every few days.I did buy some butterworms one time and he ate all 25 of them within about a month.I feed him 3 crickets in the morning when I get up and then 3 crickets in the afternoon.I gut load the 6 crickets with cricket crack and some fruits or vegetables before I go to bed.The rest of the crickets stay in a larger cricket container with cricket crack and fluckers calcium fortified cricket quencher untill needed.The worms stay in the refrigerator.
* Supplements - I dust the 3 crickets I give him in the morning with flukers calcium every day,the other 3 don't get dusted.I dust with repti calcium with D3 every other sunday twice a month.Then I dust with reptivite on the 2 sundays of the month I don't use the repti calcium.
* Watering - I use a big dripper that runs almost all day and I mist the cage 2-3 times a day.I mist for about 10-15 min each time until I see him start to drink.
* Fecal Description - His poop is moist and dark brown and his urate is white with a slight tinge of orange which I hope to get rid of with the help of some silkworms.I don't know if he has ever been tested for parasites.
* History - I got him from ToddMKeller right here on the forums.The sire was Salvador.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - Two 24x24x48 inch cages made by LLL reptiles.
* Lighting - 8.5" heat dome with a dimmer switch and a 100w Daylight bulb,30" Terrarium Hood with zoo med 24" Reptisun 5.0 UVB bulb.I have everything hooked up to a timer so it comes on a 7 and goes off at 7.
* Temperature - Cage floor is around 74 degrees and the basking spot is around 82.Lowest over night temp around 65.I measure the temps using a Zoo Med Digital Terrarium Thermometer and a Flukers Thermo-Hygrometer.
* Humidity - Anywhere from 60-100 using a pump mister.
* Plants - Hibiscus tree and schefflera.
* Placement - In my room it is not near any fans,air vents,or high traffic areas.Cage is about 32" from the ceiling and about 13" off the floor.
* Location - Lakeland,FL
I would just like to know what kind of grow light I should use to keep my plants from dying.I have an extra strip that would hold a 18" linear bulb.Also any help on what stuff I would need to make a cool looking background and to keep my wall and rug behind the cage dry.I plan on using 2 Acrylic Sheets to cover most of the sides to prevent water from getting everywhere.http://flic.kr/p/8QY4wL
