Start with a male... Females are a bit more intensive with their requirements. A male is a little more forgiving when your new to the hobby. Let us know if you have any additional questions. I love the chameleon breeder podcast for accurate info. If you get the solarmeter get the 6.5 version. Your looking at a 3 UVI approx at basking. Remember that your UVB and your supplements go hand in hand. So it is important to have both on point.If you like both of them so much, I’ll probably just grab both a heat gun and the solarameter! I’m also going to get a couple of thermometer probes for it to set in the basking spots and general areas around it just to keep a constant eye on them.
Don’t worry! I’m only planning on getting the one. Perhaps WAY down the road a second one, but definitely just one to start an get used to everything. I have the reptibreeze mesh XL, the 48x24x24. I have a ball python, so I’m just used to saying tank!
I have a dragon strand. I am a huge fan of his products. I highly recommend them. Love the dragon ledges as well to pull plants up and hook in real branches.
