Do you not have anything leafy or don't they need cleaning?

Is this better? I've attached a thermometer probe to the middle of that vine and it's reading 89F. I can easily lift the lamp higher if that's too hot?

Ok, no problem and thank you. Got that one from ebay, it's was sold as a poultry one. Where abouts in Tamworth are you?

Swapped the 100 watt for a 60 watt. I've placed a sensor 8" away and the temperature is reading 80.4F. Does the positioning look ok?

Obviously I spot clean any excrement I see but what else should I be doing? After I take the excrement out should I be cleaning the area I removed it from with anything? Someone told me that I should be cleaning the leaves on all the plants weekly, is this true and if so what's the best method...

I'm still new to Chameleons myself so can't really help you but I'm sure someone will ask what "all the trimmings" are including brand, wattage and location of basking light, and brand + % UV and location. A picture of your set up will help as well. Oh and size / age of Chameleon. basically...

Just a normal spot R80, not coloured. If you've got a bayonet connector then don't bother trying tesco. I've just been to Tesco, Sainsburys, Homebase and finally found them at B&Q

I was outside cleaning the rabbits out when my other half started banging on the window for me to come in. Rushed in to find her in tears telling me she thinks our Yemen is dying (we only bought him on Saturday) as his leg has gone white! So I rush up stairs to look and to my relief find he's...

I was talking about this last night on the forum for my Yemen. I'm just on my way out now to buy a 60 watt reflector (spot light) bulb from Tesco. I don't know if it matters as to what species you keep though.

I really wish we could get those screen cages in the UK without having to import them.

Now I understand, thank you :)

I'll pop out and buy a 60watt first thing in the morning but I'm still confused. The lower wattage will mean his basking spot is a lower temperature so he's either going to sit there longer or try and get closer, so I'm not sure why swapping to a lower wattage will be better?

I didn't say he was sitting with mouth open and moving to the bottom though....?

According to the kitty blog 95F is ok for basking? I've just checked the basking area and it's looking like 92F using the 100watt. I'm trying to find a way to fix my digital thermometer there to get a more accurate reading. Both the basking and the UV lamp are already at the top side by side.

The bottom of my enclosure is too crowded with 3 plants to fit something like that in. Thank you for explaining though and the pics. Seems the best option is a hole in the bottom. Ill do it as close to the back of the desk it's sitting on as possible so that if it ever gets moved the desk is...

Thanks for the help. I'll give it some more thought and decide what to do. In the meantime I'll have to keep manually draining the bottom.

If the water dripped into a bowl of some kind it wouldn't be standing water would it? As it would be constantly overflowing with the excess. I thought about drilling a hole but the position that the enclosure is in may not be permanent and drilling a hole through the desk underneath will...

I've got a zoo med big dripper at the moment that drips between 1 and 3 drips a second depending on how much water is in it, this drips onto a large leaf. The problem I have is that I have to keep removing the water from the bottom of the enclosure, it doesn't splash in one place so I can't...

Why can't you take them with you?

Lighting is a 4ft Reptisun 10 which I inherited from the previous owner. I understand they only require a 5 but this tube is 9 months old (apparently this type lasts 12 months) so I guess the levels will be closer to a 5 now. I will be buying a new 5 next week though. Heat is via a 100watt...
