Hey Gang,
I live in eastern canada so I decided since I upgraded by enclosure this summer I would also up my UVB.
My enclosure is approx 4 feet wide and has approx 3 feet of roaming room vertically and 18" thick. I have a 75w basking bulb on one side for basking and a 5.0 UVB on the other side of the enclosure in reg light hoods. I went and got a Arcadia 6% halogen bulb and ran it along the top of the entire enclosure in the back with a reflector. Over the last few days I have noticed my cham is not nearly as active and lastnight actually stayed in the same area for over 3-4 hours before bed time.
I'm starting to get concerned that maybe the new lights is the cause... He did eat yesterday however before his lack of movement began. He is normally very active roaming the cage side to side. I have since this morning turned off the long UVB bulb and just tossed a 5.0 back in the hood on the right side of the enclosure to see if it makes a dif.
Any advice would be a big help.
Thanks,
Eddie
