So the temperature right below the basking spot bulb will not vary much, so it doesn't need a thermostat, am I right? Also, should I put the probe right below the ceramic heat bulb to control the max temperature on the terrarium? Or should I put it on the cool area to ensure a safe spot if...

During winter the temperature can go very low around my house so it's better for me to have a ceramic heat bulb. Thing is I don't know if I should buy just on thermostat for it and leave the basking spot on a timer or if I need two thermostats...

Hello! I'm trying to make a list of stuff I need to hold a veiled chameleon and I have a question: When using a Basking Spot bulb and a Ceramic Heat bulb, do you need two thermostats to control both lights separatly? Or do you just control the ceramic heater and leave the Basking Spot...

Bump for opinions!

Hey guys! What's the variation of temperture for your thermostat? Would -1.5 to 1.5 degrees celcius be too much? I'm using a ceramic bulb heater!

I mean, light's off :P But now that I think of it, I guess I could put some white LEDs with a really really weak light, some kind of pale moon shine thing. What do you think?

Bumping for opinions!

I'm trying to implement a system that will somewhat simulate the seasons' different temperatures and daylight times for a Veiled Chameleon. I made some research and got this values: All the temperature values refer to the hottest ambient part of the terrarium (Not directly under the Basking...

Hello. I have a small question for people who use glass terrariums to keep their chameleons. How do you avoid the chameleon seeing themselves as a reflex of the glass? I heard they can stress a lot if they see another one of their species! If the light outside the terrarium is darker than...

I know this is an old topic but it came to my mind when I thought about something: How does one deal with the problem of the Chameleons seeing its own reflection on the glass? I've heard they can stress out if the glass starts to act like a mirror (when you have a darker light outside of the...

Yeah, that was what I was going to ask next to Camimom :P So Camimom, can you successfully illuminate your enclosures with just one compact UV lamp? Should I get a smaller enclosure maybe? Or adding two compact bulbs like exo-terra website suggests...

Yes, I meant 5 feet tall! hehe I don't have neither the enclosure nor the chameleon yet! I'm just getting informed about all the details before getting one so I can treat him correctly :)

I've read that the compact and coiled UVB lamps bring some problems to the reptiles. Have anyone had any problem so far with one of this?

Is it advised a lower potency light? Or maybe using a 5.0? What distance do you keep your cham from the bulb?

Hello guys. I have a small question regarding UV lights. Do you think a compact ReptiGlo 10.0 (26W) will suffice to illuminate decently a 5'x16''x16'' enclosure for a Veiled Cham? If it doesn't will 2 lamps of those be a good solution? (I'm trying to do a DIY illumination and I don't have...

Thanks for the welcoming! :) Why doesn't the ceramic heater works during the day? Is it because it doesn't produce enough heat, or is it because the chameleon needs a direct light beam on his body to be happy?

For a 4' tall enclosure for a Veiled Chameleon is it neccessary a Basking Spot Light combined with a Heat Wave Lamp (doesn't produce any light), or will a Heat Wave Lamp do good? I need the heat lamp to be turned on at night because during winter the temperature might drop a little too low...
