My chameleons favorite spot to sleep is under her basketsing bulb

[Carloscruz]

My chameleon likes to sleep under her basketsing should I be worried is she not getting enough heat at night.

What kind of chameleon is she and what is the nighttime temp in her enclosure?

 

[Carloscruz]

She is a veiled Chamaeleon temperatures or 65 and humidity is 8o to 100

 

[MissSkittles]

Those are perfect for night time.

Do you have plenty of foliage in enclosure? Lots of plants... hiding places?? Are their plenty of branches throughout the enclosure?

 

[Carloscruz]

There’s a lot of plants and branches

It looks like a lot of fake plants they are bad for veiled chameleons Because of impaction, I would recommend getting some pothos.

 

[Thatcher]

Also what are your basking temps?

 

[Carloscruz]

I’m looking to get rid of the fake plants when your new cage comes in but her new cage came in damage and now they don’t have anymore so I have to wait

 

[Carloscruz]

temps are 80 to 85

 

[Thatcher]

Male or female and how old

 

[Carloscruz]

Female 5 - 6 months old

 

[Thatcher]

Female 5 - 6 months old

Those temps seem about right but just to be sure I'll get my friends to help @Beman @kinyonga @MissSkittles @ERKleRose

 

[Carloscruz]

Ok

 

[Kamikaze Chameleon]

Definitely get some pothos or wandering Jew in there! Great starter plants that grow rapidly

 

[Beman]

Female 5 - 6 months old

Can you please post more pics of your girl... Her size and how she is holding her weight make her look much older then 5-6 months old.

Are you aware that females will lay eggs and have to have a lay bin in the bottom of their cage? Temps at basking should be more like 80 max to help control how many eggs she produces along with a limited feeding amount.

I hope/assume the light is off at night and that she's not sleeping during the day?

65F at night is a good temperature for night time.
80F is good for the day in the basking area for a female.

How many insects do you feed her in a week?
What supplements do you use and how often for each? How heavily do you dust the insects? Do you feed/gutload the insects well?

She looks like she's already full of eggs....so I hope she has a proper egglaying bin in her cage at all times. She looks pretty plump. I hope she will lay the eggs alright.
