veild chameleon temp??????

[erik775]

what would be the best temperature to have my female veild chams cage at???shes about 5 months old...

 

[jr andrade]

for a 5 month which can regulate its own temperature already, should be kept at 78f-85f , 85 at the basking area

If you want to try and keep her from laying/make her lay smaller clutches you don't want the basking spot over 82 or so. 80 is even better. When basking temp is lowered, food intake must also be lowered. (maybe the equivalent of 7-9 appropriately sized crickets 3 times a week. In a few months, cut it back to 5-7 a feeding.)
