Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Panther – Male – Just over a year – I’ve had him since the end of april.
• Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
2-4 times a week.
• Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders?
Right now he’s being fed every other day. crickets 8-12, and 0-2 super worms. I gut load them with carrots, potato, romaine mostly.
• Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule?
Rephasy calcium plus at every feeding, very lightly.
• Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking?
MistKing goes off several times throughout the day start at 9, ending at 5 to give the cage plenty of time to drive before bedtime. I see him drink plenty.
• Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites?
Poo is normal poo colour, and pretty consistent. Urates and nice and white. He’s Never been tested as far as I know.
• History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
He has a sore on his lip that he got from chewing on branches before I got him. Gave him one cycle of Reptaid to try combat it. It doesn’t seem to affect him eat
Cage Info:
• Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
2*2*4 aluminum screen cage from LLLreptile
• Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule?
Repti-glo 10.0. And regular light bulbs for heat. Lights on/off 9am-9pm
• Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps?
His basking spot I try keep at about 87 - sometimes it ranges from 85-89, ambient stays around 73-77 depending on weather conditions. At night it gets to about 63-67 usually
• Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity?
Humidity stays at %50 generally. With mistings it goes up. I measure with a hygrometer/thermometer from home depot.
• Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind?
Negative currently.
• Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor?
Cage is in my bedroom, no fans or vents around. Not high traffic, I sleep at my boyfriends. Top of the cage is about 5-6 feet high.
• Location –
Lower mainland, bc.
Current Problem – Picasso was hanging out on his cage floor. I left him for a bit to see if he got up and moving but when I came back he was still on the floor. So i put my hand in the cage and he climbed on, so I put him closer to the top of the cage, and he went up. He stayed up and was moving around like normal, then he was basking for a bit. But when I went in to clean both cages I was wiping the cage floor and i'm 99.9% sure I wiped up blood. I don't have pictures because I wasn't thinking. I don't know what else it could be, it wasn't dried - it was quite red.
I took him out to look at him to see if i could see anything wrong... his lip appear normal for it, definitely doesn't look like it could have been bleeding. Eyes and nose seems normal, claws all still intact, no cuts anywhere on body, legs, tail. Tried taking a peak inside his mouth to see if anything seems off, didn't get a great view but it seemed pretty normal.
[EDIT] I can't find blood anywhere else in the cage either.
