enclosure review

[jrz_23]

i’m currently getting a panther chameleon in about 2 weeks and i’m getting his enclosure set up. i think i set up everything correctly. is there anything i need to add or do to his set up. his basking branch and uvb branch are both 6 inches from the top of the screen and i’m using a 60watt and t5 arcadia 6% and a jungle dawn for the plants. I have the repashy superfoods SUPERCAL NOD, and the repashy calcium plus LOD

Looking really good and congrats on your new baby. With the prot5 and 6% bulb you want 8-9 inches from the bottom of the UVB fixture to the branches to put the cham in the right UVI level. For a baby you want to raise UVB and heat off the screen top 4 inches so you would put in some temp branches that you can easily pull later when he stops screen climbing the top panel. Your branches being 6 inches down you might consider while UVB is raised 4 inches to put in a temp branch about 1-2 inches above your current basking level. This way your total distance from bottom of uvb to the temp branches right below it is 8-9 inches.
But you raise fixtures up to keep baby in safe temps and UVI level on the screen.

Your feeder is a bit too high. You want it eye level for the chams view from basking and you need to make sure that there is a branch very close to it so the baby can easily get to it and target into it.

Perfect! Supercal NoD at every feeding and LoD one feeding every other week (or twice a month if you prefer). Dust lightly. No little snowman bugs. Love your set up and that you’ve gotten edumucated and prepared in advance of getting your chameleon.
