Mold is certainly something we all might have to deal with and in this setup you are right the potential is MUCH greater and I thank you for bringing that up. I have some fake plants now but will replace them as the live plants grow. The live plants have a natural defense against mold so the...
I compiled a quick list of 12 internet resources and what their recommendations are for Panthers for their basking temp / daylight ambient time / nighttime ambient temp / Humidity .
Some didn't give exact temps but rather no more than or no less than temps. The average was 94 basking - 79...
its amazing to me that something that seems as simple to understand at temp can be in such disagreement but I do notice that milton prefers the cooler side of his enclosure and so will lift his lights a bit to cool it off some.

Temp range from 90-100 depending on room temp @ basking
ambient temp 75-80 daytime
Humidity Stays 70-80 %
5 sides mesh with a removable front. - (might need to hinge this at some point )
there is a cricket proof mesh between the upper area and water area...
OK so now I am confused....I thought it was only the UVa/b coil bulbs that were bad. What about regular coil bulbs just for light? what about CF lights that are u shaped?? can someone please shed some light on this :) --- I have a UV/Heat lamp a tungstin bulb for more heat and two coil type CF...
I have always wanted a chameleon. I have always been told how difficult they are to take care of and so now after much waiting I live with a Wonderful pet Panther Chameleon. I have only had him for two month now but am relishing watching him climb the fake ficus I bought cleaned and setup for...
