As some of you might know, my chameleon Rosie is currently in a quarantine cage for coccidia treatment. The cage is unfortunately less densely planted than before, and I don't think she likes it at all. We let her out on our big avocado tree one time, and she turned a relaxed green that we haven't seen her turn at all inside her cage. Since then, we've been letting her out on the tree after she's pooped every day for a couple hours when we can supervise her, but I'm worried that the temperature and UVB will be a problem since the ambient temperature of the house is about 68 and while she is right by a big window, she's definitely getting less UVB than in her cage (I finally got my t5 HO 5.0 UVB bulb!).
So my question is, then - how much time on her tree is too much? Getting her off the tree is a pain in the ass and she hates it, and she then spends the next few hours screen walking once in her enclosure (she never did before we let her free range a bit), and she's already getting handled once every three days for injections so she's extra pissy about hands right now. Does anybody have any suggestions about how to make getting her back in the cage easier for her? or for making her quarantine cage more comfortable? Once she's cleared I'm going to be putting her in the Dragonstrand Tall and maybe also building an outdoor cage for the summer.
spot the chameleon lol
