Sam hun you have done really well, but that bulb will fry the baby, all you need is a small 25 watt halogen mounted outside the viv hun. the cham will climb up that wire straight on to the lamp, babies like it cool and humid, take the lamp out he will be ok with just the UV till u get sorted.

Another thought Sam, if you find the small food is escaping through the mesh you could put some fine net curtain over it, or stretch some ex large tights over to keep the food in, you are to be commended for trying so hard to do right by this little guy Very Happy
