Almost everyone here in Spain, breeders included, have their chameleons with T8s and the breeder who gave me my cham had him with a 10.0 bulb (E27) The brand that most breeders use here is Repti Glo by Exo terra, they recommend it a lot as the people who own these tubes use 5.0 or 10.0 on their...

Although some breeders here in Spain say their chams do good with T8 10.0

Oof I’ll be looking at T5 fixtures rn. As well as a lamp. How long can he stay with the 5.0? I’m at 0€ rn. I got 10€ from a commision to buy crickets.

He’s only two months old

I don’t have a T5 fixture, that’s the issue. Since the terrarium he’s in is small as hell, (60 cm tall) when he outgrows it, and we build him a 120 cm tall x 60 cm wide and deep enclosure, I plan to get a t5 fixture and a 5.0 HO from reptisun

I know mealworms are poor and I cut off the spinach as well. I’m buying crickets tomorrow. How do I know when he’s not stressed? Also I have a T8 5.0 that I’m upgrading to 10.0.

I supposed so. I’ll do that!

I mean the enclosure isn’t that tall, it’s only 60 cm tall. I’ve been told I can use the 10.0?

He did bask today, just not too much as other days. Only.. 2-5 minutes? Maybe more because I took a nap and ofc didn’t watch him. As I mentioned he’s been avoiding me so he then went to the plant to hide between the leafs. Maybe it’s also because I moved the basking branch a bit lower to lower...

How will I get him to trust me tho, how long do I wait until working with his trust? He’s so tiny (and sassy) and I’m scared to hurt him. Should I wait until he grows more? Maybe 3-4 months?

Damn he’s like me then. We’re so gonna get along HAHAH

That’s what I’m doing. I only come by to mist his cage. I watch him from the other side of the room where my presence won’t bother him :,)) Funniest thing is, he’s in my bedroom. ???

Yeah it’s a T8. It’s a 5.0 but I’m getting some money this week so I’ll get a 10.0. I’m gonna take the top glass off and put mesh so I can place the lights outside. The guy who sold the UVB lamp holder to me has bred chameleons with the T8 tubes, but I’m guessing they were 10.0.

LMAO I know they’re sassy as hell, and can either hate you or tolerate you and climb on you. Especially males. But mine just gets hella stressed when he sees me ever since he fell down yesterday and refused to eat today. Before falling he tolerated me more and wouldn’t run away nor get...

Ok so, I got him on saturday. He’s been eating and drinking ever since the first day, which reliefs me because I heard they don’t eat when they come to a new home. Only thing is, he only ate a few crickets, 3-4 per day. I couldn’t get him to eat more. I ran out of crickets and yesterday he had...

As far as I know Jacksons are a bit more difficult to keep than veileds and panthers. Not because of what it requires, it only has a difference in humidity levels and husbandry and all that stuff and that’s easy once you catch the routine if you know what I mean. Did you know females straight up...

Thank you and welcome! I’m not an expert but I know the basics. Except for tiny details or just my own insecurities or fear of doing something wrong hehe :,)

I’m sitting in front of his cage and he’s staring at me with his tail curled still.

He’s been curling his tail and refusing to eat ever since he fell yesterday, and he’s staring at me and won’t move until I go away. Could he be hating me? What do I do?
