he is so adorable! Congratulations Kristen and well done Matt!!

That's kind of genius. I will try that and see if it helps. I think the temps are my problem. Its just so darn hard to keep them stable when the house jumps around so much.

Meaning my house is too cold? Is there a way to keep up ambient temps without cranking the heat all the time?

Crap. I swear I caught him napping. I'll fill out the form. Now I'm really worried.

Usually up at 6, moved him at 9

Gosh I'm sorry. He is a panther and 7 months old.

Oh ambient was 66, up to about 70 now.

His basking temp is about 85. I'm more worried that the ambient temps are too low. It's not uncommon for my house to have periods in the low 60s. Once he warms up he seems fine. Still it bothers me that he isn't waking up and seeking out the warmth of his basking spot..

And I'd look into adding extra ventilation on the sides

I am not an expert. I think it could be done, but only for one chameleon. I'd be a little concerned about water damage, but less so about off gassing chemicals personally, particularly with adequate ventilation. It has been done for bird aviaries, and birds have very sensitive respiratory...

I'm not an expert, and i know it is counter-intuitive, but the more cover they have, the more confident they will be. So more hiding places = better viewing IMO. good luck!

I'm trying to allow more freedom and exploration, but do it safely. I've been surfing around looking at people's free range setups. One idea I found interesting someone had used a rope to connect different free range "islands" so his chameleon could kind of cruise around on some aerial...
