Hi my name is April and my husband bought me my first chameleon for Christmas (Dec 6th it was an early gift) for the first 2months with us he was In a small Glass terrarium w screen top (this is what the petstore recommended) it's about 18" tall and has no ventilation except the top which had his heat bulb & drip system on it. Through research of our own we decided it was all wrong & we've been buying things little by little and setting up a new cage. We now have a 3ft cage a heat bulb on the side (outside) of the cage we also added a 5.0 UV bulb (which the store associate said nothing about) the new setup is completely screen instead of the glass one the ambient air temp is 78-82 his basking spot is 90-100 isand his humidity is usually 47-60 he's always eatten 10-15crickets a day but we moved Amaeleo to his new cage yesterday morning and its been a little over 24hrs and he still hasn't. eaten and I haven't. Seen hi drink he moves around but seems 2 not b exploring there are plenty vines and leaves no branches though. Should I worry about him not eating? Does anything in Amaeleo:s setup need changed? I really love my chmaeleon and I want to do this right so I would super appreciate any advice!
Thanks
