yeah they are lol i should have turned them off thanks i'll get one with them off so people can see his lovely colours soon
btw your set up looks very nice![]()
oh right i'm with you.i had it on the top but when i showed my vet the set up he said it would be better on the side
With all due respect to your vet,
That is only true in the world where the sun is shinning from the side instead of above.
The whole reason why we tend to put our lights on the top is to mimic the real sun and the way chameleon do thermo-regulation (going up and down).
When they get too hot, they venture closer to the bottom and when they need heat they go up to get closer to the sun.
oh yes he comes very highly recomended has all the certificates i'd trust his word everytime,
you can check out his website here

A chameleon will know when it needs UVB/UVA and move accordingly...... He determines this by using his third eye (parietal eye). It is convenient that it is on TOP of his head.... sorta like the sun is on top of him... and so are his lights.
Your cham will know what is best. Placing the lights on top side by side (heat next to the UVB) will work well for him to make the right decision on how close or far to be from the light for his own vid D production.
Let us know, if it actually work better than putting the lights on top.
Did your vet tell you why he prefer having the light on the side?![]()
now thats something i didn't know so i've learned something valuable on that note thanks
Mista seems to like it being there he has room to get away from the light further down his enclosure which he does throughout the day.The reasoning was that he spends a lot of his time mooching about the middle and he still benefits from the light.
i'm not saying i am right or wrong just doing what i'm advised but i am open to all advice so thanks guys
