Ordered a 75W about 20 minutes ago :) Like Syreptyon mentioned, Im about due anyways for a cage upgrade so I might use the 100W for that. Part of my issue is I really do not know how old my girl is so it makes things like cage size and concerns about her first clutch more difficult.
Update-I switched to my 100W bulb and she no longer is opening her mouth. The temperature sits around 89-91 (instead of 95-97) Basking spot now but she still seems to prefer the spot that is under her UVB. I could buy a 75W and see if it encourages her to go to the basking spot?
and Syreptyon...
So even if the temperature is in the mid 90s still move it? If I use anything less I sit in the 80s. When I tried the 100W my basking area was around 87.
Sometimes I wonder if Chameleons just sometimes do weird things and there really isnt a rhyme or reason for their behavior :p Im new to all this but from what Ive seen of Chams with MBD (most common issue) he seems like a good looking boy! Plus he is going back into his enclosure and I feel he...
