Lighting!!

[Winslow]

I have a new chameleon. He's been in my care for about two weeks. I'm a little concerned because he seems to be brown a lot. Do you think it could be his UVB light? I heard the reptisun are the best but I have a retiglow. Should I get the reptisun. Or is it not the light and he's still adjusting?

part is hes still adjusting,

Another thing though, whats his basking temp at?

how much foliage does he have?

what size cage is he in?

 

[Winslow]

Basking is at 80 degrees, the foliage is good I can post a pick when I get back, and the cage is 18 x 18 x 36

Does this look good for foliage?

A few safe live plants like pothos or umbrella would be a nice touch and most would suggest you add afew verticle branches at the upper portion of the cage.

Since they are arboreal they like to get as high up as they can get. I would defiantly take advantage of that extra space toward the top and fill it in with some plants and vines. Pothos was recommended, that's what I use and it works great.
