Grrrr the pics are sideways hahaha. From what I can see you have everything good to go. I don't own an ambilobe and haven't owned any other chameleon besides a Veiled, but I have researched all of the Panthers and it looks like you've got everything right. Just a few things though: the temps; I haven't checked in a while but I'm guessing the baby Ambilobe's or Ambilobes's in general like cooler temps like 60s-70s with a 80 degree basking spot? Good idea with breeding Dubias, but try to get more of a variety for him to help prevent hunger strikes. Last thing: I would highly recommend having something at the bottom of your cage in case your little guy falls, like a big plant or something, because a fall from the top could prove fatal or cause serious injury for a youngster.

You might need to warm it up just a bit for him. Mid-day temps should give a mid to high 80's for basking, 70ish at bottom, with a smooth gradient in between.

I think the bottom half of the cage is too bare.
I would go outside, and get some nice sprawling branches to through in He will be super small when he arrives, and the branches will give better sized footholds for him as well

You are so close!!!

lighting- it just a normal UVB light hood with the 5.o reptisun long, bulb thing XD then a flukers basking bulb on top, nothing special XD

Okay i have some branches baking right now, until i get my plant, just put some branches around the bottom and what not?

That would probably be fine. I have the same size cage and I moved my Veiled in there when he was around 4 months old. I put fake Abutilon plants all over the bottom to provide a cushy landing if he was ever to fall.

Ok good deal What watt is the basking bulb?

Yes Ma'am.
Just fill in your empty areas.
Youve created a dense area on the left, and a sparser area on the right.

This is a beautiful thing.

Just fill in your empty areas, using the same game-plan.
(bottom left more dense, bottom right more sparse)

This is going to help you provide gradients for him.
The denser side will stay cooler, wetter, more humid and give cover.
The sparse side will stay hotter, drier, and be good for basking.

Creating a gradient over all.
(which is the goal)

Every square inch does not need to be filled, but every square inch should serve a purpose.

Leaving a little clearing in the middle, or on the sparse side is good.

Just to add to what has already been said, the branches should give plenty of walkways near the sides so your baby is not constanty crawling the screen to move up and down,. They also help the baby get from the screen to a branch when he does inevitably crawl the screen. Pothos are really good and easy but the leaves are big for a 3 month old. Schefflera is a better choice for climbing.. Other than that I think you have done a good job with your setup!

You might think about hanging the pothos if that is what you are going to use. I take a 1x2 and run a screw eye or hook from the top through the screen and hang the plant that way. I also have some ideas on drainage if you are interested. Let me know.

Okay my bulb is a Zoo Med 50 Watt Basking Bulb

So it's not nessaraly 'cushy' now but i think i made some good little branch path way things

It darn better be pretty! Im going to go out soon i think and get some more just little fake flowers that i can stick in places my poor ole cham will probably have lost his man hood by the time he's old cham

btw don't mind that awkward plastic cham.....my mother thought it was funny

Everything is good, but just a few points....

1) Get supplements!! You need CALCIUM ONLY daily, CALCIUM+D3 2x a month, multivitamin 2x a month.

2) basic incandescent bulbs (from HD or wherever) are the same as the reptile bulbs, but 1/8 the price...just get the same wattage and it puts out the same heat. There is NOTHING special about "reptile" bulbs (except they color the glass)

3) Don't forget to change your UVB bulb every 6 months!

lookin good overall


EDIT: I doubt this would happen, but I'm sure you know that they need to be housed alone as adults ....I would just watch him to make sure that he doesn't mistake the plastic cham for a real cham and get stressed as a result in the future. Not really a big deal but something you might want to keep an eye on if you will leave it in there.

Oh haha, i wasnt gonna leave it there, but good point
