My new Chameleon

[camimom]

I have noticed that he is up in the mornings before the lights come on. I try not to turn the lights on till around 10:30 am because I am up late and don't get of work till 8pm so I turn the lights off around 10:30-11. Any thoughts?

get a timer for your lights.
hes waking up then cuz the suns up.
so lights shoudl come on at around 7-8 and go off at 7-8 at night, if you get a timer, you dont have to swtich them on and off.

and babies can shed every 3-4 weeks, juvis every 3 weeks to every month to month and ahalf. adults.. well they appear to shed al lthe time. they shed a body part at a time.. so head one dya, foot the next, and can seem to be always in a constant state of shedidng.

Yeah I got them on timer was just wanting to be able to come home and watch the guys behavior ect...

He also seems to be basking all the time wanting heat. I had a 40w bulb but he was climbing right on the cage getting right under the bulb. His spot was about 89-91. Since I switched it to a 60w and he still seems to want to get warm all the time. He is dark in color when basking. Do need to get a higher watt bulb.

Thanks for the input!!

he gets darker to get more heat. are you really sure thats the temp under his basking spot? and some chams can bask for hours.

I have a digital gauge I'm sure it could be off? It's one of those accurite.

Does a 60w put out enough heat? Should I step up to a 75w?
