Hi, sorry if this is the wrong thread im kind of new to this forum !
I got a bigger cage and a bigger uvb/heatlamp for my veiled chamelion. It's a 36×18×36 with mesh sides and top.
just today he's started "gaping", or sitting there with his mouth open for a little bit. The basking spot were they like to sit is at 90 degrees, but I read it's supposed to be 80-85. Humidity is roughly 50. I'm assuming I need to lower the temperature, but not sure the best way. It is a little bit hotter of a day, but it's the start of summer and want to make sure their comfy.
Should I:
Lower their perch
Get a lower watt bulb (currently 75)
Get a different lamp setup all together ?
The heating setup right now is one long uvb bulb, one 75 w heat lamp near the first perch. One heat lamp + uvb combo near the second perch.
Any help would mean a ton !!
