NEW BORN BABY RUDIS

azcarey Jan 08, 2007 04:45 AM

HELP! i am a VERY new chameleon owner. I bought a friend a chameleon for her and her boyfriend because they have been wanting one for a very long time so i did it for a christmas present. well it turns out that i picked a pregnant one and she gave birth to 8 babies in the night lastnight. They gave me one and my friend that owns a couple of chameleons and has bred them before came over to help me set up something small for him so that i can try to get him through these couple of weeks being so young.. i know it's very normal that they die but i have a question.. he has two sources of light on him right now, one is a long light in which the friend brought over for it, and the other is a 60 watt household light bulb, he is in a small 10 gallon tank with a lid and he climbs onto the lid and ggets right underneath the lightbulb, is this okay? i don't want him to burn, being so small..? PLEASE HELP!

Are you measuring the temparature and humidty?
Can it touch the bulb?
Is the "long bulb" a UVB light? Is it a fresh UVB bulb?
