First Chameleon setup, Arrives in the AM

[Digitaltripp]

So I'm getting my first Cham in the AM, FedEx. Always wanted one, now that I've got kids of my own here we go!

Above is a picture from the breeder. http://www.kaleidoscopechameleons.com/ He is around 5 months old. The Sire is "Trix" on the site.

I'm pretty sure his name is "Mr. Lebowski"

Here is his cage

Schefflera Arboricola, Rex Begonia, and Wandering Jew potted together with aquarium stone for a covering.

Powersun 100W MV UVB lamp and a pressurized bottle is what I'm using.

I intend on using miner-all indoor. Gut loaded Roaches/Dubias will consist of the majority of his diet. I have a colony coming shortly.

You will also want to get Miner-all outdoor which doesn't contain D3. The outdoor will be your daily dusting and the indoor should be used a couple of times a month.

Cool, thanks. I bought Exo-Terra multivitamin for a monthly dosage.

Basking Site temp on top.

Is 40% Ambient room RH OK? . It's around 55% in the canopy. Near the soil in the plant base it's around 68%

The temp is too high for a juvenile or baby. Humidity is fine

That is at the highest point under the lamp. 78 on the branch beneath that spot.

So my temps may have been a little bit high. However he was hanging out on the screen under the bulb for a short bit. I decided to raise the lamp which lowered my basking temp.

Here he is fresh out of the deli container.

And I pissed him off he was sleeping, lol

I set him in his cage to calm down

And he's chill. I'll get more photos as he warms up to his new home, and my 4 & 2 year olds.
