Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - BB Ambilobe, sex is unknown, been with me for about 3 weeks
Handling - Never its a little kamikaze
Feeding - 15 1/4" crix daily gutloaded with flukers gut load, oranges, collard greens, carrots, butternut squash
Supplements - ReptiCal w/o D3 every day, MultiVit every other monday, Cal w/D3 every other tuesday
Watering - Misting 3-4 times daily with a pump mister until the cage is dripping.. He drinks frequently in front of me
Fecal Description - perfect brown coloration, white urate with not a bit of orange
History - None really he was given a lot of natural sun in conjunction with his UVB but other than that nothing out of the ordinary
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Mesh reptibreeze style, 22"x12"x26"
Lighting - 60 watt household bulb for basking, reptisun 5.0 BULB (not tube) both in domes... 12 hrs on at 8am 12 hours off at 8pm
Temperature - Basking is 83 degrees... Lowest point is 73 degrees... I use a thermometer
Humidity - Not sure of humidity but living in Texas humidity hovers pretty high most of the time and I leave windows in the apt open most of the time.
Plants - Ficus (small cage, small plant)
Placement - Placed in a relatively low traffic area, but I keep a sheet on the cage for times when there is more than normal traffic... There is a wall sized mirror about 15 feet in front of the cage... temporary location until I build a blinder for the side of Stanley's cage.
Location - In Dallas, TX
Current Problem - Herbie shed yesterday and I hadn't noticed anything unusual on his/her skin but he/she has been staying in defensive dark colors since the shed and hiding in the ficus on the darker area of the enclosure... He/she is still adjusting so I didn't think this odd... I just put the sheet over the cage and checked every now and again and he/she seemed to come out a bit... He/she is eating very well and drinking well and looks healthy but as I was doing a night time color scan to see any new colors I noticed a LARGE spot on the underside of his/her mouth and neck that is black while the rest of him is peach (leading me to believe he is a she... Though I am still no expert on that...) Im not terribly worried but I would like to know if this is something serious and could it be affecting his/her mood in the way I've described..?
