Your Chameleon - veiled, female (i think), 2 months, my care for 2 days
Handling - just got her so not much
Feeding - mini meal worms, mini phoneix worms, fruit flies. 10-12 prey items offered daily. i gutload my crickets with cricket crack and assorted fruits and veggies. only seen her eat a couple crickets the first day.
Supplements - rep-cal products. cal daily. multivitamin twice a month. cal with d3twice a month (havent started all of this yet of coruse since shes only been in my care 2 days)
Watering - ive only been misting her lightly 3-4 times daily for a few mins, not spraying her directly. i see her drink the droplets off the leafs
Fecal Description - looks normal, picture of fecal attached to this post
History - a friend of a friend dumped her on me. didnt want the lil bugger
Cage Info:
Cage Type - the zoo med glass cage with vents in the front and a screen top. the ones people use for frogs. i'm getting her a small repti breeze in about 2 weeks.
Lighting - 7am-7pm reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb and a 25 watt house bulb in a dome fixture.
Temperature - i have a temp gun as well as a therm with probe. temps are 79-80 at basking spot and 70-74 in the cool area.
Humidity - 60%-90% hygrometer live plants and misting
Plants - small hibiscus
Placement - she is about 4 1/2 feet off the ground near a closet that no one goes in (aka junk closet) air vent is about 15 feet away across the room/no fans
Location - florida
Current Problem - Yesterday Gracey was a darker green color I assumed from stress from driving to my house and she also had been in the middle of a shed when the girl gave her to me. Her head was not finished. i bumped the humidity up when i got home and woke up this morning her head still had not shed and her body was discolored.
and i am worried about this cage i got. she is only the size of my pinky i would worry about her in a big screen cage. is this glass one ok for temp use?
first picture of her is her head that hasent shed, second is her the first day i got her. the thrid is her today

those colors could be stress from the dead skin and handling. Upbher misting to help get it off. Also I keep my female around 80-81 basking body temp. This slows egg production along with not feeding too much which you will need to worry more about around 5-6 months. Have you read everything about egg laying in jannb's blogs? I still refer to these a lot.
