I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the tape.. or at least pull it off. UVB is a T5 HO with a 5.0 bulb and is six inches from that branch. Bottom drainage actually has a tray, I just didn’t have it in yet when I took the photo..I would pull out the feeder run you made. Tape and chams can be quite dangerous. Humidity will cause the tape to start lifting and the cham can get stuck to it.
What UVB strength and fixture type are you using? Looks like your top branch is quite close unless your using a T8 fixture.
Bottom drainage you want to ensure that the baby can not fall between those slats.
What about heat bulb?Ok with that uvb fixture Beman will say branch needs to be 8-9 inches under it.
So with the T5HO and a 5.0 bulb you want 8-9 inches from the bottom of the fixture to the top of the branch. At 6 inches that puts the cham in overexposure levels especially as they mature and rise even farther off the branch towards the UVB lighting.I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the tape.. or at least pull it off.

UVB should be raised if baby is screen climbing. They would raise the fixture 4 inches and then leave the branch 5 inches below. THis puts baby in the upper limits of UVI exposure on the screen and 3 UVI at the branch.@Sonny13 will they need to raise uvb too
Thank you BemanUVB should be raised if baby is screen climbing. They would raise the fixture 4 inches and then leave the branch 5 inches below. THis puts baby in the upper limits of UVI exposure on the screen and 3 UVI at the branch.

So sorry about Rexy and happy ypu are getting Finch. Track the shipment and when it gets to your airport, call Fedex and make sure they contact the driver and tell them this is a live baby chameleon and ask them.to give the driver your cell so ypu can be ourside and ready. It shaved hours off of the estimated arrival of mine.As many of you know, I was posting for a while about being concerned with the health of my first veiled Chameleon, Rexy. I spent hours researching the Do’s and don’ts and a lot of money to try and provide everything she needed to have a happy, healthy life. I started noticing her appetite declining shortly after we brought her home from Petco. We maybe only had her for three weeks and then I started noticing she wasn’t showing any interest in food. I checked in on the forum to make sure I was doing everything I was supposed to. I then took her to a vet for X-rays and fecal test. The first vet said her X-ray was all good except the fact that she was constipated and she advised me to soak her in warm water to hopefully get things moving. I followed her instructions for about a week and saw little to no improvement with blood now in her stool. I took her to a different vet for X-rays again and fecal test and this time we got answers. She had a respiratory infection and bacteria in her poo. He prescribed medication to give her but unfortunately, I think it was too late for her. We lost her last Thursday and I am devastated. We only got to spend two months with her and she definitely fought as long as she could. We miss her dearly.
After much thought, we decided to try again. I’ve wanted a Cham for so long and we had just spent so much money on everything that was needed. So we decided to go through a breeder this time and we will be welcoming “Finch” home tomorrow.
I want to thank everyone for their prayers and good vibes for Rexy. Please send good vibes and prayers for a safe travel for Finch.
Any advice is more than welcome!
You knw they won't do that. Best to have them hold at FedEx. And be there as soon as they open. I used to drive for FedEx forever ago and that goes against there rulesSo sorry about Rexy and happy ypu are getting Finch.
