Temperature

[Hsandovaljr]

so I have a veil chameleon. It's been really cold as of late. The temperature has been around 74 degrees. I wrapped 3 sides of the cage with a shower curtain to help and I have 60 watt daylight bulb. For a small reptibreeze cage. Any ideas how to get the temperature up?

I have had same problem, the 60 watt bulb just isn't enough. I've bought a 75 watt and a 100 watt, arriving tomorrow so will be trying them out to see which is best.

I would try a slightly higher watt bulb(75 or 100) and get his basking spot to 85. Once he reaches over 9 months you can raise it to 90.

For now though, as long as you can get his basking spot to 85 then he will be just fine, he can choose to stay in it or move out of it for cooler temps.
