Veiled and Jackson's heating

[xxzmmorexx]

Okay so I recently got my veiled he is about a year old. My Jackson is about 8 months. I know the guy I got my veiled from said he kept the basking temp right at 90 and the ambient temp at 74. I'm pretty much right on with him. I'm sitting at 88.9 basking and around 73 for ambient. Do you think that's okay? And I use a 60 watt house bulb and compact UVB bulb. And as far as my Jackson goes I just want to know what she should be getting! Because I don't think what I got is just right, I know Jackson's like cooler nights and more moisture. I have kinda been in the pattern of lights on at 9am and of at 9pm. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone

I keep my Jackson's temps at Basking = 80-81, ambient is around 76-78 and bottom is 72. At night the whole cage drops to 65-70. I have a 10 minute misting in the morning and at night and 5 minute mistings every 3 hours or so. She loves all of the water.

80-85F is a good basking temp for a jackson. Keeping them at higher temps then that, seems to cause problems. They also enjoy a nit temp drop into the 50s.

Yeah, they seem like really really tough chameleons. She was my first one ever and I got her kind of out of nowhere and have had her since before winter and she is still with me! Ha ha I know she isn't 100% but I'm starting to learn a lot and getting on the right track. I know my veiled I got is going well. I thought about selling my Jackson but idk. I like her a lot ha ha!
