Hi we bought a 6 month old panther chameleon privately with a 100 gallon flexarium on Fri, I think hes really tiny for his age..we made sure we watched him eating, and he seemed really alert and lively, since we've got him home we've replace the uv tube with a exo terra reptiglo 10.0 (was told to get a 10 due to the bulb being outside the flexarium) haven't changed the asking bulb... now as the flexarium was already set up with uv and suspended bulb we haven't moved the location of the bulbs...
Since we've had kermit home he's stopped eating.. And I noticed last night that his skin has started peeling, and he's gone really dark in colour.. I'm thinking its a shed but im a bit worried after reading various posts on here that it might be uvb burns...( might just be me having new mum syndrome ) just wanted some reassurance or advice on what to do... his temps are 85 in basking spot, he has a dripper set up and i mist 4 times a day for about 3/4 mins (not directly at him) I have researched and read alot on the husbandry and think I have it right, please feel free to correct if I'm wrong, I want the best for this little guy... I will post pics so you can comment.. Also what do you think on the location of the uv tube should i move it to the top??? all advice/comments will be appreciated...
this is him today...
this is when we first got him..
Thanks in advance for any advice...
