I know you just finished setting it up, but…. Adding a way to attach more branches and ones of varied diameters would be beneficial. If you have someone to help, things could be much easier and faster. One way is to build a type of scaffolding out of sturdier branches, attaching them to the...

Chameleonaire is looking great! Glad that all is well. 💗

You’ll have to do some experimenting with distances. Raise the 100w several cm above the screen top and see if that will give you the desired temp. If you had raised the 75w off the screen by so much distance, maybe a shorter distance will work. When one size doesn’t fit all, you have to try...

Now it’s a bit too cool. 😂 You want right around 25-26, but no higher than 27. It may take a bit of trial and error to get the correct temp.

For adult males, yes. But for babies & girls we keep them cooler.

Yes, that is much closer to what I would expect. You need to keep in mind that the temp guns, while a great tool to have, can only measure surface temps and not air temps. So, while you can measure the actual basking branch temp, you can’t measure the temp above it in the air. Obviously, being...

You’re very welcome! 🥰

He’s no where near 6 months. He is a he though…I can see his little spur sticking out. I went back and looked and that pic of my guy, he was 4 months old…sorry. I’d guess your little cutie is close to around 3 months, which is when the color bars become much more visible on the boys. For his...

It’s blooming because Mr Jack has that Jackson’s magic. 🧙‍♂️🥰

-Veiled chameleon, male, around 6 months, had for around 2 weeks We can help you confirm gender if you like. Males have prominent nubs (tarsal spurs) on their hind heels, while females do not. As he matures, males also have taller casques and vertical bars of color. This was my little guy...

Give me a few and I’ll give you some feedback. 🙂

If you post some clear pics of the backs of the back feet, we can confirm gender too, which is always important. 🙂

Your stories reminded me of this. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/worse-than-when-the-cricket-bag-breaks.184413/#post-1693021 Hey @nightanole did you ever get your car cleaned from the slime? 😂

Yes, 3.0 is the ideal UV index at basking level. Both ReptiSun and Arcadia bulbs are reliable to have that UVI at a distance of 8-9” down from the bulb when used in a T5 fixture with a reflector (and thru screening). I didn’t find any issue with the ReptiZoo fixture and am using it for one of my...
