[MOJO]

great! what kinda lighting and timing are standard for the veiled cams....

 

[MOJO]

as far as basking lights. i have a uvb bulb and a red...but im getting mixed info on the red......what do ya think...

 

[Justin Carl]

The thing about the "red" light is chameleons cant see it.
Same thing with the ceramic bulbs. You dont need them unless you use them at night. The only time you need them at night is if temperatures reach the 50's.
You need a natural white light. All you need is a house bulb for basking.
Read my caresheet in the begining of this thread. Print it!lol

[MOJO]

ok, got a ? that i have not found an answer too........should thier home be put in a room with no traffic...(like in a bed room) verses a living room. with more people and nose like the tv.....

 

[Justin Carl]

Yes, less traffic is better.
When they are in the bedroom it can be hard to do stuff at night. You dont want to turn the light on while they are sleeping.
chameleons are deaf.

ok. i jus bought a new cage online. it will be here in about a week. its 18X18X36 cage. would he be alright in his tank right now for the time being or should i do something else till i receive the cage................

 

[dodolah]

a chameleon 2.5 months old to 6 months old will be good in that cage.
after that you will need to buy the big one.
24X24X48(in) or larger.

read the blogs given to you:

and

both are great and cover questions like these thoroughly.

 

[MOJO]

will he be ok in the glass tank for the time being....i get the new cage in about a week....what do you think?

 

[Brad Ramsey]

He should be fine.
Be careful not to over heat him.
