Hello everyone, I got my first chameleon today and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. He is a veiled chameleon. I'm not sure of his age but he's still very small. I have him in a reptibreeze - a smaller one for now, I will upgrade him when he gets larger. He has a dowel rod under the lights to use for basking, some vines and a fake plant for climbing, and an umbrella plant that he loves.
I will say that I bought a chameleon starter kit, but I did my research first as I know that starter kits can be absolutely horrible. This one seemed okay. The lights I'm a little unsure of, so if someone could reassure me there that would be great. It's a dual fixture with a basking bulb and a compact Repti-Sun 5.0 UVB.
Basically I took the starter kit and added a dowel, a fake vine I already had hanging around, and an umbrella plant. I also bought a Little Dripper and he loves that, he's already been drinking directly from it.
He's eating well and seems healthy. I need to come up with a name for him still.
Here's a picture of the little guy and of his cage.
