Unfortunately this is where you'll need the old fashioned bulbs. As inefficient as they are, they're what gives off heat. Any cfl will be designed to be low power, and more efficient, therefore giving off less heat.

Ok Google, I need pictures of chameleon porn...

Another tip: My favorite reef tank toy was the Apex Neptune tank controller, it lets me automate my tanks functions and act as a safety net in the event of undesirable events. I can get texts and emails from the tank as well as check in on it at work. Even has apps for android and ios...

Speaking from my current experience with saltwater reef tanks: Your best bet, for a TRUE sunrise/sunset fade would be with LED's and a controller. Anything less will have a sharp contrast with the setting before it. There are several "DIY" led set ups you could use. Obviously they won't...

Thanks for that advice! Yes, as for the temp gradient, he was only in a 10 gallon tank, so I'm sure he wasn't happy. My intent was to keep him in the tank for a week until I was able to build a large enclosure. This, as it seems, wasn't the best idea for the cham, so the purchase of the...

QUICK UPDATE After everyone's much appreciated replies, I went and purchased a large Reptibreeze and various branches/vines and set him up in it that night. For the past two days, he has at least seemed happier, and has been gobbling up food (although still not in front of us like our...

Thank you all for your help on this!!! I will head to the local shop to see what reptibreeze cages are in stock and get him in something else. The temps in my home stay in the mid 60's day/night. I opted to add the 60w bulb (in place of 100w) in hopes of keeping him in a more "tropical"...

Hopefully the cage will be built by this weekend. I have taped some paper the three sides of the tank to hopefully reduce the amount of stressors he can see. At the store he was definately moving around quickly and showing coloration already. Since I have personally seen him eat...

I use a 60w bulb because of it temporarily being in an all glass aquarium. I felt as if I used a 100w it would get too hot inside.

I purchased a young (perhaps 1-2 month old) male veiled Cham from the local pet store. The Cham was held for 5 days before sale as part of a quarantine process. Granted, he's only been at my home for barely 48 hours...but he seems challenged mentally...he will frequently go to the bottom of...

i definitely would pick up another apex jr for a cham setup to balance the heat/humidity/mister/etc. I love the idea of automated everything. if you had the halides and etc running and it was only 50% humidity, and chams require 60%, idk if i'll be able to handle it lol. i only have a 30g...

I suppose i'll have to take a survey of the room to see just how humid it is. Since the winter months have come, I have noticed the tank cooling down, as well as the room. What would a veiled chameleon's tolerance of it's atmosphere be? I'd like to purchase a juvenile or adult cham to help in...

Greetings all! I've been longing for a chameleon my whole life and thankfully I am blessed to be in the position to begin the decision on purchasing one. I have one main concern and it has to do with the general 'atmosphere' of the room where the chameleon will be in. I have a smaller...
