Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
- Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? 3 inch Veiled Chameleon, just started watching (as of 5/7) for son this summer. And his eyes have been squinted since we got him but he’s been active. Included one photo from December of when Snoop’s eyes were open. And saw another photo of him in April where his eyes also appeared to be squinted. So don’t believe this is a recent issue. Thoughts?
- Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? With the transition of Snoop Dogg being relocated, we haven’t handled.
- Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? We are providing small crickets and meal worms. We make sure he has at least two crickets if not more in his enclosure. And 5-6 meal worms available. We are providing the crickets with water and apple.
- Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? We are dipping the crickets in repti calcium.
- Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? We have tree stump fogger that we run as needed. We also mist the enclosure a few times a day. We haven’t seen him drink.
- Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? I don’t believe the chameleon has ever been tested for parasites. His droppings are brown and a bit runny.
- History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
