can your cham touch it in anyway? Even through the screen if it is resting directly on the screen. He can be burned through the screen.Hi and thank you for the reply. I have the basking temp set at 89 and it is on a dimming thermostat. Do I need to change anything?
How are you gauging the temperature? Is your basking light directly on top of the enclosure?Hi and thank you for the reply. I have the basking temp set at 89 and it is on a dimming thermostat. Do I need to change anything?

Thank you, I will make the spot lower. Will he recover from this. He seems fine and is eating wellMy basking spot is 88 degrees. If you cannot achieve this temp with the stick far from the lamp, you need a stronger lamp. My basking lamp is a "intense basking spot 75w" lamp. You can easily stop your cham from getting burned by lowering the branches from the basking spot.
Thank you, I have moved my basking spot to the other side and he want be able to reach it.that is way too close, he can easily touch it. The chameleon should not be able to touch it. They can't feel it when they get burned, so they just burn their casques off.
You will still want to go to the vet to get the burns checked out. The vet will likely give you some silver sulfadiazine cream to apply to the burns to prevent infection and help with healing.
He will definitely recover, it is kind of like if you burned your hand on a stove, you will recover. From the picture, it looks very minor, and superficial. He will probably have a little scar though, kind of like in the picture, but smaller.Thank you all for your help on this. Will The burn affect him in the future or will it recover
if the cham is not able to climb the sides of the cage, the lamp can stay as is.Thank you, I have looked and will order one tomorrow. Also happy to hear he will recover.
