I am affraid that there is something wrong with Jasper. He has been dark and not looking very happy for the past couple days. Could this be due to the new change I made to his cage and him just adjuting to the better enviroment? I am also scared he is not eating because I cant find any droppings.

* Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? the floor is 80 and basking is 85-88 I have an indoor out door thermostat. I place the thermostat on the floor and put the out door line in the basking area

Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Jasper is a male veild cham about 2 months I am guessing and I have had him 2 weeks.
* Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? never
* Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? I am feeding him him around 5 medium crickets that are sprayed with vitamins and feed apples and oranges. (I have ordered the top three on this site http://www.petmountain.com/category/...pplements.html)
* 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 4-5 times a day for around 5 minutes each time. I also have a homemade drip. I see him drinking all the time.
* Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? before I changed his cage He had dark portion and a white portion in his dropping. Since I have put the plant in the cage I cant find any droppings though. and no he has not been tested.
