Been lurking for a while now, reading what I can and trying to learn from past mistakes, but recently decided to step into the fray. I've bred Ball Pythons in the past and had over 24 snakes at any given time, I've also had Crested Geckos, 2 Russian tortoise's, and quite a few dart frogs. This time I wanted to start out slowly to make sure my enclosure was set up and my husbandry on track before picking up a Chameleon. At the end of last month I picked up a 36x36x18 enclosure with a deep bottom to set up a vivarium. I have a few plants and jungle branches set up and I have a dual nozzle Mistking system and a UVB light bar and basking bulb. I've been monitoring my temps and humidity with a SensorPush HT.w thermometer/hygrometer which is pretty cool. I should be well within the range for temps as my daily average is 71 degrees with the highest ambient temp recorded being 80 degrees and the lowest 64. Of course the basking spot can provide him additional warmth if needed, temps directly under the basking bulb is in the high 90's so I'm thinking that may be too hot and I may need to raise the bulb up a bit or go with a 25w bulb instead of the 50w. My average humidity is 66%, with a low of 41% and a high of 97% over the last 3 weeks. I'm not going to pick my guy up until the 28th or 29th so I have a little more time to get things corrected.
As for questions I have:
Do my humidity and temp levels seem ok? I live at 7000k feet above sea level in Colorado so the air is quite dry here.
Is there anything I have likely overlooked? I am going Bioactive and I have Isopods roaming around but I don't see them too often, should I see them more?
The guy I'm getting is an F1 Ambilobe
Appreciate any suggestions and I welcome all comments.
Cheers, Jeff
