Just want to make sure the care for my 2-4 month jacksonii jacksonii male is adequate as three of his cluthmates someone else had have all died. here is how I am keeping him, I have had him for 2 months now.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Jacksonii jacksonii male. Between 2-4 months, not 100% sure. Had him 2 months now.Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Once a week to move him when i clean out his cage. occassionally twice a week.
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? He gets FF and pinheads every morning. I havealso tried dubia and woodlice to no avail. I am going to try him on some freshlyy moulted mini mealworms at the weekend. I see him eat most morning as soon as lights come on. Gutloaded with fresh veg and repashy gutloading foods.
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? I use zoomed calcium, calcium with D3 and reptivite without d3. I have been using calcium once a week and reptivita and calcium with d3 about once a month
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? I mist three times a day. One misting is a minute long and is done mid-day by an automatic mister. I mist in the morning and evening for about 30 seconds at a time. i also use a drip cup usually once a day.
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Goes to the toilet most days. looks healthy. Sometimes a slight orange tinge but mostly white.History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? Exo terra glass terrarium with screen lid. 18x18x18
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? Using arcadia T5 lighting. Using the 12% but this bulb has been used for about 6 months and the bulb is about 6 inches from the top of the cage. 40 watt heatbulb for heating
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? Basking spot is at most 81f. General cool end temp around 60-65f and dops at night to about 60F
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity? Measuring humidity with a digital reader. measures about 60-70 througout the day. goes up when misted.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? Using a small live plam and umbrella plant. also using some fake plantsPlacement - 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? In my bedroom, low traffic area with my other reptiles.Location - The UK
