OK.

Chameleon Info:

* Your Chameleon - Ambanja Panther Chameleon, 14 months old, in my care for 11 months
* Handling - once maybe twice a week, to take him oustide.
* Feeding - at the moment i feed him crickets and superworms with herp and min-er-ol and calcium w. D3 ( in the past i have fed him silkworms and moths- in the process of ordering more)
* Supplements - herp is repcal, flukers D3, and a green bottle of min-er-ol.
* Watering - we mist Rafiki's cage three to four times a day long enough to drench his fake plants. His dripper drips slowly all day long, he is not a shy drinker..
* Fecal Description - recently had a straight up diarehha, usually they are typical brown with white urates, once in a while an orange urate.
* History - bought from Kammer


Cage Info:

* Cage Type - Repti breeze screen.
* Lighting - exo terra 5.0 uvb bulb. 3 zoo med basking bulbs ( can't remember the watts i know there are none above 100)
* Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps?
* Humidity - right now both of the humidity gauges i had are broken so i'm just spraying the way i was before when the humidity stayed around 60%-80%
* Plants - used live scheff in the beginning, then got rid of em, but once i drill holes in the cage i will put one back in.
* Placement -hanging off the wall in the middle of the room
* Location - houston texas

Current Probelm - Rafiki has been hanging upside down every couple of days.. i've seen him do it twice now where he holds on with his back legs and tail and then hangs his whole body upside down. The first time i saw him doing it he started thrashing around with his mouth wide open and then threw up some half-digested looking crickets and water.. the second time he was just hanging.... the day after he threw up he had some poo that was almost straight water.... any input or advice anyone?:confused:
 
you did not list cage temps. Why are you using three basking bulbs? What is your supplement schedule? I know what you are using, but how often? Does your Minerall contain d3? Is it the Minerall that is a calcium supplement? Let us know if you got him to the vet and what the outcome was.
 
Sounds like when my Cham had coccidia. Take your Cham to the vet and submit a fecal sample. Has his/her appetite decreased?
 
I agree with the get him to a vet now group. I am betting on a parasite and maybe a heavy load. Chams go down hill VERY fast, I am thinking vet or possible lose him. Please let us know how he is doing.
