Hi guys! I get my first little guy tomorrow and I’m super excited. I’ve been getting ready for a bit and I would like any tips/suggestions for my enclosure.
Chameleon Info:
Heat- my biggest fear is to burn him, but I also am worried the spot isn’t warm enough.
Humidity Levels
Plant Coverage
Water treatment- is the reptisafe really safe
Thank you to anyone who gives me suggestions I really want this to be a good and safe home for my little guy. Thank you!
Chameleon Info:
- Your Chameleon - Male Panther Cham about six months old.
- Handling - N/A but I will not try to handle him at all for the first 1-2 months
- Feeding - Dubias are on the way, but in the meantime I have BSFL. I am gut loading right now with dandelion greens and papaya. Feed in the morning 30 minutes after lights on via cup feeding in enclosure.
- Supplements - RepCal Calcium w/o D3 every 6 days, RepCal w/ D3 once every 14 days, reptivitamin once every 14 days. See below photo
- Watering - MistKing, two times a day for 3 minutes once at 7:35 (35 minutes after lights on) and then 5:30 (1.5 hours before lights out). Dripper
- Fecal Description - N/A
- Cage Type - 2x2x4 screen, but 3 sides have a plastic shower curtain to improve humidity/protect my walls
- Lighting - T5 UVB 5.0 Reptisun 34 inches. Heat light is a 100w ecosmart non LED bulb. Schedule will be from 7-7. Basking spot is 8.5 inches below the light so his back should be about 6 inches away
- Temperature - The branch reads 82F floor 68F. I set my heat to 67 so it shouldn’t get colder than that at night. Temp gun.
- Humidity - Pre-misting 55% and after about 70%. I use a non electric pet store thing (I know not great) and I’m ordering an electric one.
- Plants - pothos, spider, and umbrella tree
- Placement - Bedroom, so low traffic and the cage sits 36 inches from the floor. Near a vent, but I have it closed
- Location - Upstate NY
Heat- my biggest fear is to burn him, but I also am worried the spot isn’t warm enough.
