Title basically says it all. Any reasons why this could be? is he just getting old now? nothing changed. First his tongue stopped shooting out (maybe he needs viagra? :P) now he misses everything and he's just moving really slow and seems to be losing weight.
he's not drinking though. also what's the deal with him always wanting out? he's always on the screen! he's always dark too except for when he eats...which he hasn't been doing
he'll only eat small meal worms now. he literally refuses to eat and he's just changed radically in the past couple of days. he even took forever to eat a silk worm which he'd usually eat right away
I think I've answered most of that already, what is it you'd really like to know? his poop is a tad orange and the temp at night drops to 65f. I've also answered all that before and received no help. so with the info I've given, what could possibly be wrong??
First off i'm going to tell you the details of my cage
-100w Incandescent light bulb for basking (85f) (75f ambient temp)
-reptisun uvb tube 5.0 zoo-med
-2x2x4 screen cage
-little dripper (constant drip) I mist once in the morning and at night
-carrot gut loaded crickets/dusted with...
Urgeant!
Nothing has really changed from when I first got him back in march. He had a great appetite and now he rarely eats and always wants out. He always poops at his basking spot too.He doesn't seem as strong as he was and i'm just really worried about him.
Your Chameleon - The species...
right now I have the uvb going diagonally from each corner, in the back right corner I've got his basking light and the front left corner I've got his dripper.
So I bought my veiled a 2x2x4 cage and right now im using his old basking light fixture and I was just wondering if now that the cage is bigger should I get him a bigger fixture?
don't worry I am using a bigger uvb tube too.
