Posted by: Carlton at Wed Mar 9 23:43:46 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Carlton ] I think part of the problem is that no two setups are the same and no two chams are either. They may bask sometimes depending on how cool the night before was by season. They also may bask to raise their metabolic rate and help them get past an infection or a stressor. Gravid females may bask much more than nongravid females. Deremensis are not supposed to need a basking light, but mine occasionally did bask for a short time. As these guys will be new to you, you could safely angle a small bulb in a sheltered corner and see if they use it. If they don't need it they won't. If in summer the cage gets too warm, have a timer turn the bulb off at the warmest part of the day, just have it on in the mornings or late afternoon, shining at an angle. | ||
