Lighting ideas.

[Mozart]

Okay so my Cham always falls asleep when the heat lamp isn't on him. Should I buy another bulb and put it near the bottom of the cage. Or what? Any ideas?

uhhh you can try to raise the ambient temp but it should be colder near the bottom of the cage as they regulate heat by moving up and down on their plants

I could try. It's just that he's awake under the light but when he moves down he sleeps or closes his eyes like he's cold. I read a thread where someone mentioned the daylight hours changing. Since its getting darker out earlier. Could it be he needs to sleep earlier now?

I adjust my times down with the seasons, been cutting them back slowly the past weeks along with the sun.

sounds odd that outdoor lighting is affecting him my chameleons have always been 12-12 cycle and have never had to been changed, i wouldnt worry about it if he's going down lower to sleep as long as he's not sleeping during the middle of the day
