Free range set up

[Pascal_Love]

Greetings!
I have a question question. I'm working on creating a free range space for my Cham in my bay window. He won't stay there 24/7 but while im working, i put him there so he has more space to play and to gaze out the window.
My question is, the window gets a fair amount of sun light. Should I still install a light fixture so he can get the proper vitamin amount or do you think the time in the sun is ok?
He has a light figure in his cage that he basks in every morning and night before bed, im just curious for his play time.

I'm still workint on building the window area, this is just the beginning set up!

UVB does not pass through glass or most plastics, so depending on how much time he'll spend there, you might want to add a UVB.

I would say he's there from 10am-6pm. Tyrn sun starts to shine in the window around 1130-12.

I would provide him with an additional UVB.
You can turn off any lights in his enclosure while he's "out".

I agree with providing UVB. I’d also provide way more branches and places to hide. They would be very exposed in a free range set up like that.
When you’re considering free ranging a cham for that many hours daily, you also need to consider humidity levels, water intake, and heat.

As mentioned, im still working on building it. I made a point of saying that so people didnt have to tell me it needs more. My question was to the light fixture as that depends how i place things where. I monitor the humidity, heat, and make water availabl throughout the day.

Awesome! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
