My chameleon has big issues

[The Wild One]

Get a misting system, most of us use a mistking. A dripper is a good idea for a constant source of water

At the morning i mist his plants and i give him water he drink from pippete consistantly

Ok the problem with that is the glass doesn’t allow enough air flow. These guys are sensitive and can get respiratory infections if there is warm humidity.

the other problem with your lights in the cage is your cham might try to climb the bulb and this can burn aand injure your Cham. I would recommend a new cage that atleast has a screen top and bigger your cage seems kinda small. Bare minimum is 24x24x48 for an adult male veiled

My cage is 40×30×60

 

[Martin Tvrdoň]

My cage is 40×30×60

And he has a little screens at the top and the bottom of the cage

Ok but it’s still not allowing enough air flow you really want to get a cage with all screen top and to pull those lights out the cage. Thermal burn on chams is no joke

 

[JoXie411]

You want a cage like this. The whole top is screen not a tiny part of the cage.

and for watering I use a pressurized misting bottle like this. You don’tneed a misting system

So I realize your not in America so my measurement system is different from you when I say 24x24x28 that’s in inches. So I’m cm that’s 60.96x60.96x 121.92

This is why filling out help forum is important

[Lennoncham]

yes.This has been mentioned several times.

I have seen others from Europe with the lights inside the enclosure and I’m wondering why that is.
