My vieled male is olny 3 months old.
I have a 30 inch long reptarium but it is olny 16.5*16.5 wide and deep.
My UVB reptisun light fixture is 30 inches long.
right now i have the cage on its side so it is OLNY 16 inches TALL but the light fixture fits perfectly on top of the 30 inch side. I know chameleons are arboral and it would be better if he could climb UP. Is it ok for me to change the setup so the cage is taller (30 inches) and put the UVB fixture so it shines in from the SIDE instead of from above. Will this freak him out?
Any advice would help me greatly!
thanks,
Aaron.
PS> i have a 75 watt basking lamp on top too.
