Ok I will, thanks. What else can I use for a basking spot? Just like a branch or something?
Yea! That's what I use for my basking spot. It's a pretty big branch.
I was watching a vid from neptune the chameleon and she was talking about neptune losing nails. They don't grow back.

Yes, a large branch where he can lay and bask. make sure it's not too close to the bulb. The temp should not go over 85F.

-When you take him out to handle, does he go outside, to a free-range set-up, gets treats, or something else?
-How often do you feed, and how many bugs do you feed him each feeding? How often are you use using the waxworms and hornworms? What are you using to gutload his feeders?
-What is your supplement schedule?
-Each daytime mistings session needs to be a minimum of 2-5+ minutes or longer. Try to only mist in the morning and at night for your daytime mistings when the cage is cooler, if the humidity allows it.
-Definitely get a fecal check done since he’s from Petco. Make sure to bring a fresh fecal sample with you to the appointment. Also do bloodwork and x-rays while there (he is old enough to get bloodwork done safely). Make sure to drop off at least 2 fresh fecal samples afterwards to make sure no parasites were missed. Is the vet you’re going to experienced in chameleons?
-How old is his UVB bulb, and how far away is it from his basking branch? What is your light schedule?
-How are you measuring his temps? What is his exact basking temp? Are you using a digital thermometer with a probe, with the probe placed where his casque/top of his back is when he’s on his basking branch, to measure his basking temp? What are his ambient and nighttime temps?
-Daytime humidity is great, but what are his nighttime humidity levels? How do you measure humidity?
