Hello,guys.I live in Chongqing,it is winter now,the temp is around 54F in the daytime and 52F in the night.and I have owned one graceful chameleon for nearly one mouth,I had it in the 45cm 45cm 60cm exo-terra terrarium in the first few days,I did see it eating several times,but since I got my screen cage 40cm 40cm 80cm and removed it into the screen cage,I have never seen it eating again for 2 weeks.I did do some research before owning it,and I realized the proper temp for those chameleons is 63-74F,although I put a 50w exo-terra multi-purpose basking bulb on the screen top(the basking spot is 82F),the cool parts of the enclosure is still around 56F in the daytime.(I dont want to put a higher watt bulb,because the basking spot would increace seriously and might burn the chameleon).What could I do to get the proper temp in the enclosure?And would it be ok if the temp is around 50F in the night?
