How many hours of UV life (artificial) is good? is there such thing as to much ?
>>>We keep ours on 12 hours light cycles. I don't think there is such a thing as too much because the chameleon will move in and out of the uv light as it sees fit...just as long as you have it on a proper night/day cycle it should be fine...and you also should try to refrain from supplementing with any supplements containin vitamin d3 because you chameleon should get it from the light.
also i was wondering if holding them at this age is a lot of stress on them. he dosent seem to mad wen i take him out. How much is to Much holding.
>>>You probably shouldn't hold him too much...chameleons aren't really holding animals and don't especially enjoy petting and whatnot...I'd say if you have to take him out...15 minutes is good per day. We just leave ours alone...occasionally we'll con one out of the cage to clean the flies from the room...we benefit from no flies and they benefit with a full belly.
and last how long befor i start seing some nicer colors on him. Any advice or imput would be greatly apreciated and help me out a bunch.
>>>Chameleons generally grow fast...if it is a "HE" then colours should show up at 8 months of age...if it's a "she" don't expect too much colouration.
Enjoy your chameleon.
