Please Critique My Husbandry

12" is too far away from the lights. You want 6-8". The extra 4-6" makes a huge difference. It's not functional to leave the top 1/4 of the enclosure empty. Again, the top 1/2 is vital, and you're leaving half of the top half empty. Also, maybe consider getting some natural branches or vines... The dowels aren't particularly "grippy" and it really isn't good for chameleons to only have one size perch to grab onto. They need perches of all different diameters to properly stretch their feet

They're all different sized dowels. He has a bendable vine as well.

Give a man enough zip ties and he will get it done!

Did you raise the basking height?

Did you raise the basking height?

No that's impossible with the setup I have atm. So I put his old branch back in and raised his basking sight instead.

What about play with the bulb wattage to dial in?

I would get some exo terra vines or something and get the tiny zip ties to hook them in to get your height higher. Did you see where I posted my UVI levels for you?

Flucker’s sells a clamp lamp with dimmer. I use it to fine tune my basking temps.
