So I'm a new owner of my first chameleon. she is a senegal between 1-3, or so I'm told. I think i might have miss understood some information i read and caused a problem for my cham. I had my set up way in advance and was doing research and read that the basking spot should not be over 85 degrees. So when i got my set up a 100 watt powersun in a deep dome and saw that it was in the mid 90's i asked and looked up what to do. I settled on a combo of an elevation with an extra screen under the bulb.. Now after a 4 days I've noticed she has slowed down a lot and doesn't seem as alert. Also she is starting to fall asleep in the evenings with the light on around 6 pm. So after some research I've realized the extra screen is probably cutting out a lot of the uv. (well over half) So i cut off the screen and took it off the elevation and put it back on top of the enclose. So I guess my question is, is this the right move? what else can i do? is it to late? and is the 100 watt in the deep dome enough elevation to not cook her... please help, thanks
