This is his bowel movement after his constipation, along with the sperm plug.

hameleon Info: Your Chameleon - 1 YEAR OLD MALE AMBILOBE x SAMBAVA. I HAVE HAD HIM SINCE JANUARY Handling - ALMOST DAILY TO BRING OUT FOR FREE RANGE TIME. HE IS EXTREMELY TAME AND HE COMES OUT ON HIS OWN WILL, NEVER FORCED. Feeding - FEED HORNWORMS, SILKWORMS, BUTTERWORMS, PHEONIX WORMS...

These are from a few minutes ago -

He eats every second day on average - hornworms, silkworms, crickets, waxworms, butters, and phoenix are alternated but I have been feeding more horns and silks lately because he has been on a cricket strike. I have wondered if the worms are somehow causing some issues with his ability to poop...

He seems healthy otherwise, yes. He was constipated for a couple of weeks and then went about a week ago (finally). When he went again yesterday I had hoped for whiter urates.

I might have to try that. The cool mist humidifier I have has a hydrometer that allows me to set the humidity level it will reach and maintain within the space. Who knows how accurate it really is though. This would be a good test!

Yes, it is a gauge one. Low end for sure. I have been looking at the digital ones but I keep hearing mixed reviews on those too. I have a household hydrometer in the room itself to measure the relative humidity in the room, and is why I have a humidifier going all afternoon now. I figured if the...

Yup, I put him in the shower once a week for around 20 minutes or so. The humidity in his cage varies but reaches around 50% when the humidifier is going. Then it drops as low as 20%. With all of the live plants, misting sessions, and the dripper I question the accuracy of the hydrometer. The...

Looking for some advice regarding hydration. I have a 1 year old male panther who lives is a 24x24x48 screen enclosure with 2 sides covered to help keep humidity in. He has a few large natural plants along with a bunch of vines at all levels. Basking temp is thermostat controlled to stay at 90...

I got up in the night and decided to check my temps and the cham room has dropped to 71.5F (22C) from the daytime temp of 75. Is this an adequate drop for a Jackson or do they require even cooler temps at night to be ok?

ALSO: do you keep the humidifier going 24/7? And for cooling - would a fan blowing lightly on the unit be safe?

Do you find that rigging a cool mist humidifier directly into the cage is better than having the entire room humidified? Not sure how to go about rigging my unit up. Any tricks?

Yes, and unfortunately, I don't want to have him set away where we never spend any time. I may have to reconsider my decision to get one. - And thanx. I give 110% and spare no expense when it comes to the care and well-being of my animals. Their needs come before anything.

The only way I could do that would be to keep him in the basement where it is always kept cool. We never spend any time down there though and there are no windows for natural light. If it turns out the basement would be the best place for one then I would be best to back away from the idea of a...

That is an AWESOME vid! Thanx for the link!! That taught me a lot more CLEARLY than all of the reading I have been doing. I closed the vent in the chameleon room for the day to see how much that effects the ambient temps. I am hoping it will drop it enough to make it ok. Is it absolutely...
