That's what I thought. But he's just perched on his stick in his enclosure. Nothing's changed or different. Nothing's going on around him. I've looked all around to see if he can see himself in a reflection or anything. Nothing. Could he just be in a mood or demonstrating his 'chameleon-ism'? LOL (I was even sneaky taking the picture so I wouldn't see me)
It’s hard to say. Chameleons can be funny little things. I’ve got a panther that hates the color red and gets stressed out if he can see a computer or tv screen. (All the movement on them bother I’m I think). Just keep paying attention to your little one
Will do. No tv or computer screen visible to him. He does seem pretty normal and healthy. (I took him to a vet for a post-adoption check-up). He's currently making his post-meal rounds through his enclosure. Thanks!It’s hard to say. Chameleons can be funny little things.

That’s so funny, Spaghetti LOVES to watch my husband play video games. He will sit and watch the tv and not get defensive at all. He’s got a perfect view of it from his enclosure. Cracks me up.

His basking branch is behind him. Those two vertical sticks are too high for him to bask under. His temp under his basking branch reaches 84-85 degrees. He likes to perch on the vertical branches to get as high as he can.
Correct so the best thing I would advice is to cut those vertical sticks shorter so he is not trying to get higher. Because you need the distance from the UVB light to be spot on if he can get too close to that he can be in overexposure levels. Too close to basking and he can get a thermal burn. Basking should sit 80-85 max for him.
Gotcha. What is the danger in too high UVB levels? I know the heat can cause burns or overheating but I wasn't aware of UVB overexposure.

High uvb can cause cancer or organ damage when exposed to high levels for too long.
I'm using the Reptisun 5.0 and his branches are at least 10 inches below any light. The tall vertical branches are the supports attached to his Dragon Strand ledges. They are configured exactly as the Chameleon Academy recommends. I'm confident my enclosure is safe and enjoyable for my boy
If you are using the reptisun T5HO fixture with the 5.0 bulb your branches need to be 8-9 inches to be in the recommended 3 UVI.I'm using the Reptisun 5.0 and his branches are at least 10 inches below any light.
