My cham as been not going as his basking spot at all he just ignores it. Takes this, for example, I feed him near his basking area he'll go up there to get it then go down after I'm done feeding. He doesn't feel cold nor warm, No signs of any dehydration. My lights a zoomed 5.0 uvb long and a zoo med basking 75w. He is a 4-6 month 1-year male chameleon, Don't they at the 6-month mark look for a mate? Do they still do that a year I'm just really worried if he is neglecting heat or my bulbs are wrong?

[Thehippie]

no, your bulbs are right, they don't really start to mate til 9-12 months tho, I think hes just hot, what are your temps

 

[KamaKamaChameleon!]

[Thehippie]
