Getting excited, my sons getting his first cham on first week of April. Cant wait, but wanted to make sure everything is ready. Basking is at 82* ,humidity sits at 65 and after misting reads 85. Feeding cup be hanging in front for dubias, fruit flies and bafls. Have both calciums and a multivitamin. I also will be making a drip line during the week. Lighting is 5.0 uvb and 25w basking light. So please let me know. Ps, after reading all your informational posts, I think Im going to get my own cham after his is grown up abit. Thanks

Nice set up! Do you know what type of chameleon you are getting?

 

[RJChamers]

Yeah, its a 3 month ambilobe x ambanja male.

What size is your enclosure? May just be the picture, but it looks small to me.
Also, is your UVB a compact or spiral bulb? If it is, you ought to switch it out for a 5.0 linear model

Its a 16x16x30 and yes a spiral bulb, which I will look into on changing. Thanks

Looks well decorated, I agree with the above comments. Switch out that compact fluorescent ASAP, they’re crap, and pick up linear T5’s. I also agree the cage is too small. It will work for a few months tops. No reason to waste money on multiple enclosures unless you are quarantining. I would purchase a T5 fixture that is sized for the adult cage, that way you’re not wasting any more money when you pick up an appropriately sized enclosure. Also, pick up a misting system and you are set my friend. You did a great job with the plants, much better start than most.

All righty, that size cage will be okay for a short amount of time while it's young, but you will need to upgrade to 24x24x48 in a few months. They grow very quickly
