Problem

[Jolev]

@Jolev Do you have air conditioning??

yes I do

 

[Fchamel]

I have a 5.0 usb build that have been using, is that ok for now or should I get the other one?

Is it a compact bulb? The compact bulbs do not penetrate enough UVB through the cage. If you do have one, you need to get the linear one.

 

[Fchamel]

this is a compact. Is this what you have?

yes

 

[Fchamel]

yes

Okay, then you will need to get the linear bulb. 24" is a good size. Here is the link https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petco...XkaOzMe3jfdtB_zYEO8aAjbvEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

[JuniorC]

yes

It won't do any good you need the long linear bulbs. Either reptisun 5.0 or 6% arcadia. For best results its recommended the light run across the cage on the top to give full uvb inside the enclosure.

this is what I have so far.

https://dragonstrand.com/product/tall-hybrid-chameleon-cage-system/ would this be a good cage?

There are others as well.
Zen Habitats
DIY Cages
are also good enclosures.

Okay, so with the cage that you are buying, you will need to buy more than two plants. I suggest an umbrella tree. Once your cage and ledges arrive, go outside and get sticks and place them horizontally in the cage. This is what the dragon strand ledges are for.

Do you have a basking bulb?

Another thing I want to go over is supplementation. I saw that you use a calcium supplement. Does it have d3 in it?

Okay. For the basking bulb, you can use a regular incandescent house bulb. Make sure it is not an LED bulb. Try a 40W. Since you have a female, the temp of the bulb should not go over 80F

 

[CBee7726]

no it does not

In addition to this, do you use a multivitamin?
Please take pictures of the supplement containers so we can see what you are using.

For basking, most people just use an incandescent light bulb. Wattage may vary depending on your needs- you'll need to verify the basking area temperature with a thermometer.

We already covered UVB.
