If your cage is setup properly and you have good husbandry practices, then you shouldn't need to do anything drastic to improve your chams health. My concerns with a sauna are heat and humidity. This isn't naturalistic humidity. I'd think a mid temped shower would be more appropriate for a...

The room my panther is in ranges from 70 (normally)to about 85(on the hottest few days of the year). But, my interest is purely academic. I don't believe I could keep a chameleon with such strict requirements in that room and I wouldn't want them in my basement. I'd love to observe one under...

Here's the method that worked for me... Find him a nice tree to sit outside of his cage. Keep it in his room next to the cage so he gets comfortable with it. After a few days, put it directly in front of the cage with the door open so he can walk to it. Chameleons are natural explorers, so...

The amount of minerals an organism gets from water is negligible. The amount of minerals RO water can reabsorb is minimal. Minerals and nutrients come primarily from food. Water isn't a significant source.

My Cosmic has two different patterns on each side. One is more typical blue bars, but the other has more oranges and yellows. I'm enjoying watching it develop.

Very good looking cham!

Easy one... Popeyes chicken sandwich. Truthfully, trying to read into a chams favorite anything besides food would be difficult. We have difficulty understanding “conciousness” between humans. When they say their sense of smell is poor, it basically means less developed and even more...

Cosmic did this with me. When I’d open his enclosure, he wanted out! It was always to go into his tree. I could tell, because he would want to go towards it. I could see where he was looking and if i made his “arm bridge” go away from the tree he wasnt as interested.

It's interesting. I don't doubt that this could put out an effective amount of UVB. I do question the benefit of using the same light as a heat source and UVB source. Particularly with a light that generates so much heat. UVB's rapid fall off combined with the halogens temp makes me concerned...

I buy 500 3/4" crickets and set them up in a large rubbermade tub. They last about 2-3 weeks, and I feed them good gutload every few days.

Update... He’s approximately 10 months old now.

Ahhh. Then see the previous post regarding trigonomery. I understand what you were saying now.

Assuming the light source sits on top of the screen and glass and the detector sits at the same distance from the top, this is backwards. Screen passes about 70% of the UVB. Glass reflects/blocks 99%+ of the UVB light.

I think you are using the term "amplify" because you are thinking about how light introduced to closed system will increase heat. Amplification will require some sort of additional energy. A magnifying glass will focus the energy. Not amplify. There is no system you can design to increase...

Amplify means to increase. You cannot increase light by bouncing it off of something. You can conserve some of the light by using reflective surfaces. You can also focus the energy by using properly bent glass. It would violate the First Law of Thermodynamics. You can use light to...

Is the top of the tank glass? If so, it's not passing UVB. You cannot amplify UVB. The energy the bulb puts out only drops over distance, it cannot be increased.

1st is at 2 months... 2nd is 6 months...
