How to bring down the heat in my cage.
We were told by everyone on here to keep the temp in the cage highest at 80 degrees.
We moved down to a 50 watt basking light and moved the uvb light strip up off the cage so it would put out less heat into the cage.
The uvb bulb is a t5 5.0 uvb reptisun.
The heat is still getting up very high. There is not a chameleon inside the cage yet but need to have it figured out before we get our new baby.
Right now inside the cage it is 100 degrees in the basking spot with both of the lights on.
Also was going to ask why when we took our chameleon to the vet and I told her that our basking spot in our other cage was at 80-85 degrees she said we were doing it wrong and that her basking spot should get all the way up to 100 degrees, but everything else I have read and been told is that 80 degrees is the highest to get.
