Meet SunShine :)

[SpinyFranky]

So early this morning ( and im still somewhat angry ) Fedex dropped off lil sunshine. However they Literally dropped, the box hitting the ground is what told me she arrived since no one rang the doorbell and asked for my signature... besides that though. Shes awesome!, brilliant colors and very active, So A+ to Chameleons North West for an excellent baby.

first pic is of her playing on my Pajamas, second is of her home.

Questions:

Currently the bulb i have for her basking (50 W) is running cold @ 70 degrees, which I know is not good for her - however it is the bulb that came with her in the total package. Can anyone suggest how many watts would be good to kick it up to her proper temps?

Secondly, in the pic of her cage - any suggestions for improvements? I want this little one to be as happy and well taken care of as possible So anything anyone sees that could generally be improved upon is a go

Also I know the pictures do not show it, but she is being cup fed right where the second picture ends about 3 inches below that ( lol ? ) is a cup with some crickets that I gutloaded last night with some ground carrots and lettuce, I knew the cage would be too large for her to hunt.

Thanks! and more pics coming soon!

Congrats on your new cham! Try a 75 watt household bulb.....just keep a close eye on the temps.....you should have the basking spot in the low 80's.
