Thanks for all the feedback. Did the misting until all the water was gone, but the little fellow didn't drink from it.... :( We installed a dripper (the big dripper) that drips all day, so the plants were really wet. (hopefully he drank when we were not looking) We have also bought the...

At least we got one thing right :) :) Will the +/- 10 hour dripping per day be sufficient to up the hydration of the little fellow? Including the misting in the morning and late afternoon. We mist by hand, how long should we mist for?

Thanks Dave, Does his poop look dehydrated to you? It was moist when it came out, but not runny... Coun't get a fresh photo like yours though... :) What is the difference between the reptiglo 5.0 (what we currently have) and the reptisun 5.0?

Thanks guys. Well, we've thrown out the waterfall. :( . Got a 2l dripping system that runs for about +/- 10 hours of the day. We will be misting him in the morning and evening. We have also moved him from the exo-terra terrarium (glass tank with mesh top) to the exo-terra flex-aruim (all...

Thanks, I'll try that. We got him a waterfall today so that he would have a constant supply of water. So hopefully, he'll be back in shape in not time :) Once again, thanks for all the assistance.

Hi there, We tried giving him the silks, but he is not to keen to try them. What would be the best way to get him interested in silk? He just wants the pinheads. Thanks :rolleyes:

The poop was moist, but not runny. Very similar to our ball pythons urates. Does this mean there is enough water? Also, he is looking more lively today, not so dark. He has not yet closed his one eye once yet. :p He is eating like there is no tomorrow (already eaten 14 pinheads) - is...

Thanks guys for all the assistance. When we added the red light, he went back to a bright green, so we do not think he was stressed. Can we make use of a ceramic heat emitter for a heat source instead of the red light? (On a thermostat to keep the temp correct) PS: how can you tell...

What size silks should we feed him?:confused:

Thanks for all the feedback. We are going to try the silkworm (hopefully we can get small enough ones) :) We will try to run the dripper for longer periods. Will the extra heat and water help with the eye issue?

When misting the cage, should we mist him directy as well? If the dripper runs for two hours a day and with misting twice a day, should this be sufficient to help with the dehydration issue? Is he severly dehydrated or only slightly?

Thanks for all the info guys. We mist him him (the cage) twice daily. Does the dark coloration show that he is cold?

Thanks for the feedback. We are going to try to run the dripper fro more hours in the day. Does he look fine otherwise?

The pinheads are fed with cricket food and carrots, is this sufficient? We have not tried any other feeder insects yet, we thought he may be too small still. What do you suggest?

The calcium that we use every day contains no D3. The vitamin suppliment contains calcium and D3 (this we use once a week) What age do you think he is? Can you shed any light on the eye blinking every now and then? Thanks

Brad, No ;) This is our first little one, well, our first chameleon. We were told they are hardy and easy to care for, and dont really have problems. We are used to snakes and Tarantulas :)

Cage Info: * Cage Type - What kind of cage are you using? What is the size? - We are using the Exo-terra terrarium that he came with. Screen top, glass sides. I think its the smallest in the range 30cm x 30 cm x 45 cm (I think) * Lighting - What kind of lighting are you using...

Hi Guys, Got our chameleon a week ago, sold as a 3 week old veiled hatchling. He is eating great, and we have seen him drink water, but not much though. Could you guys please tell us if he looks healthy ? He blinks one eye more often than the other, and he goes dark most of the time. Is...
