Living in England would be absolutely amazing though. I suppose the grass is always greener on the other side though isn't it lol

Does your cham stay awake and alert during the day? If you find em sleeping in the shade during the day then contact a vet. The angle is not always needed but levels of different temperatures in the enclosure are. They need both warm and cool areas. Placing the light at an angle and focused on...

The dark colors might be caused by stress. Make sure to keep track of the temps, however if your cham is not trying to climb a plastic wall to get higher up the the cause might be from the noise and movement your cham is exposed to while checking up on them. Try to keep the room and inclsure...

My cham and I live in an attic at the base of the rocky mountains. The ambient temperature of this space is about 95 without the AC. In the evening in naturally cools and the temp drops perfectly from 70-86 to 62-70, I don't turn it off till I got to bed a few hours later. The AC may or may not...

Assuming the toilett situation is a lack there of, make sure there is a basking spot is as close as you can get to the ideal maximum temperature. 87℉ seems to be the most common and is preferred by my jacksonii. Heat helps aid with their digestion, which in their natural habitat is absorbed...

What species of chameleon do you have? I have a 6m old Jackson and she consistently lightens to a tan color when she sleeps. I have read that this is completely normal. Get a digital themometor with a probe and hang it within 5 inches of where your cham sleeps. If the temps stay above 55 you...

Thanks! :) oh and im not sure if it is a problem or if my eyes and assumptions are just out of controll... but the species of schefflera that your cham is chilling on in your profile picture appears to be one of the poisonous subspecies such as the schefflera amate ->...

The first light I had was a self balasted mercury vapor lamp. It over heated my room and from 5 ft above the screen it was still getting the radiant temps of the metal up to 130. I took it back and got a 15W 18" linear 5.0 zoomed. I had trouble gettting enough light from it as it was the only...

3 is excessive? I thought that having to pass through the screen would significantly decrease the uvb and uva that reaches the enclosure. Based on what ive read in a post by ChameleoPatrick -> https://www.chameleonforums.com/definitive-lighting-thread-everything-you-really-need-know-80869/ I...

lol I think another light might be EXTREME overkill. However I assumed the possibility of what you said to be true, at one time. Things like that are majorly the causes of numerous trial an error experiments which eventually reasoned this enclosure to go above and beyond what is needed...

Veiled chameleons like hotter temps, which is why I made the advice that I did. I am not going to sit her and justify my reasoning for making the suggestions that I have. The fact that my jackson does the same thing when given the temps I provide displays the theory that some creatures are...

90% of the enclosure is in the shade, the way my camera adjusts the brightness and focus gives the impression that this is way to much light. I promise it is not. Here is another couple pictures to show you what I mean. The first picture of the bottom half depicts the ambient temperature, the...

Jacksons dont lay eggs and she is scheduled for spraying next month to prevent health problems when she reaches sexual maturity. Bobby Sue is in remission from a parasitic infection and it is completely normal to seek out higher temperatures. 87º on a black surface (80º on a white/tan...

Her basking spot sits at 82º ambient temperature. Ambient being that the thermometer is hanging in open air with a white colored probe facing the light. Idk if you missed that part or what but any how... The screen and anything dark in color absorbs and holds higher temperatures. if she wants...

The lights that you see near the top are the uvb bulbs. 1 reptiglo 18" linear 5.0; 1 reptisun CFL 5.0; and 1 zoomed CFL 5.0 all of which are 26w@5500K (tropical) These are mounted into the utility shelf 2" from the top of the screen. An additional 5500k 26w high intensity CFL is at a 45º...

chameleon go durp I think i tried doing the exact same thing to an extreme, and she is still never happy. Is this the type of thing your talking about? She has been walking on the ceiling most of the day catching crickets in the shaded corners. I could not even begin to describe this type of...

Screen the bottom if possible, a sloped and bent piece of plastic is great for draining everything to the same place. Makes cleaning and checking water levels a breeze.

The only discussion I could find was back I n 2006 which was inconclusive and mostly brain storming. Has anyone had success with hydro plants and enclosures?

What kind of place could I buy egg cartons without having to pay for the eggs? I dont know why I never considered making my own dry gut load... I am going to pursue Sandra's Gutload recipe and see how it goes. I like having the ability to do this naturally :) Thank you for the advice!
