Bathing in the Sun!!

You don’t mind sharing a picture to show an example of the distance the uvb should be…

Here are my cages... All of the highest branches are sitting at 8-9 inches below the screen top and I set my T5 fixtures directly on the screen top. https://www.chameleonforums.com/media/albums/my-enclosures.6672/

Thank you so much….i feel as when I get my bigger enclosure it’ll be a lot easier to create the same or a bout the same habitat for my cham….love the work and dedication……not sure if this is a stupid question but where did you get the branches ?

My neighbor cut down a tree and I went and asked them for a bunch of branches lol. But I have also been guilty of pulling over and taking them off the curb too. You could also call a tree trimming company and most will let you come take what you need. Just remember no pine, cedar, or eucalyptus. Harder woods like oak are great to use.

That’s dope lol….natural tree branches
Thank you
I’ll look around and see for any laying around to pick up and wash clean…what about the wood usually used for iguanas if I’m not mistaken it’s the driftwood looking ones I believe I have some in my enclosure as well

Just leave him be. He can get the shed off himself

I just watch my babies to make sure there isn’t any circulation that is being cut off on tails or toes when they are going through the process.

Just be cautious with the wood for reptiles. If it is grapevine do not use it because it can not hold up to the moisture we put into our cages. Most of the larger driftwood will work though. It can just be very pricey.

I typically feed in the mornings between 8-10am. Depending on if I have work calls etc. But you always want to feed in the morning so they have the day to bask and digest.
