u guys i also have another question. does it really matter what kind of bulb you use for the uvb and heating light? because i use a coil shaped uvb light bulb.
Day 5- Still no signs of eating. I gave my chameleon a tiny drop of mineral oil to make her go. maybe she's not constipated? because she barely pooped. and her poop looked yellow. still, when i mist every morning she drinks a lot. then i mist during the day a couple of times but she doesn't...
I'll just wait it out. he/she seems to be doing fine but maybe it's just stressed by the new environment. i hope that's the case... i'll be getting the baby cham a screen cage very soon. :/
Yeah I've seen my chameleon drink from the water bowl too.. well ill try some waxworms next time i go to the pet store. I spray my tank about 3-5 times a day. I should consider putting moss since that always soaks up water.
1st day when he was active
another pic of the 1st day
2nd day, opened his eyes for a couple seconds then closed them right after
3rd day after taking out the bark and soil...sleeping during the day
I'm not sure on of the temp or humidity because I haven't gotten the thermometer for him. I'm using a Sunbeam 75w for basking and a spiral fluorescent light bulb for the uvb. I keep both of the light bulbs in a double lamp holder.
Hi I purchased a Senegal Chameleon from reptilecity.com on 9/8/2011. It got here 9/10/2011. The cham is still a baby and I had him in a 20 gallon tank with some fake plants, real plants, real branches, water bowl, bark and eco earth for the substrate and I feed him crickets and small superworms...
