good to know, I promise to abide, I'm more careful with this guy than with my own kids sometimes, lol!

Got it! I had gotten a book to learn about chameleons when he was a baby and it says that adults need up to 100F temperatures, but that always felt too high too.

Hi Kinyonga, We live in the Monterey Bay. No vitamin powder, should I get one? I know he gets the supplement when I give it to him because I continue to dust the berry with it until I see it's gone, sometimes he goes for it as soon as I put it on his feeding dish. I gutload the insects...

Yes, with the help of my husband. I didn't like that all enclosures for sale felt too small so for my birthday last year that's what I ask for, lol!

He is out basking now :)

Thank you Beman!!! I just ran to dial down his temperature. He doesn't eat any other vegetables I've offered so that's why I got in the habit of giving him one blueberry or blackberry daily, but he doesn't eat them everyday. I put 2-4 crickets in his enclosure everyday but he doesn't always...

Hello everyone, This is Gizmo, he is a 2 yo male. He hasn't had any issues with us other than when he was a baby, he has a very large enclosure with edible plants (hibiscus, golden ficus, and cripping fig). The temperature on his highest basking spot is always 90-95F and I changed his...

Thank you! I'm so confused about the strength, so much mixed information everywhere. I fear of exposing him to too much UVB but also don't want to give him less than ideal. His cage is by a window which sometimes I open and he can get direct sunlight from it. If @jannb @kinyonga @GoodKarma19...

Good idea! I was already concerned with the extra expense of different size hoods :)

THANK YOU for the link!!!! is it ok to have a 5.0 even if it is outside the screen? the vet was the one who told me to get the 10.0 since a lot of it filters through the screen.

Hi everyone! I have a two-month-old veiled chameleon. A few things were going on with him so I took him to the vet yesterday and today I'll start him on ABX. However, I am very concerned about the quality of his light. I have the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent (13 watts) in...
