Turn everything off unless your house is getting under 55-60* F. How old is your new little one? Chams tolerate and actually do well with a night-time temp drop, so you don't need any lights at night. However, if it is getting very cold, get a heat emmitter, not a bulb that produces light. Chams can see red light, so those red bulbs won't let them sleep. They look something like this: http://www.google.com/products/cata...og_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CEUQ8wIwAA# and prodice no light.

Congrats on your new addition!

hey can post a picture of your setup...if u dont mind...

What size cage is he in? A 5.0 reptisun/reptiglo is usually prefered over a 10.0 for UV, it's better for panther chams. An what are you getting as the hottest temp under the 100w bulb? Be careful that it's not over 85-90* F. Is it a bulb that shines blue? I would replace that for a normal household bulb, chameleons can see color so it's probably really unnatural for him to see blue all the time.

Sorry that it sounds like I'm tearing apart your husbandry! I just want your cham healthy and happy
