Chameleon Info:
◦ Your Chameleon - Masoala panther chameleon, 6 months old, had him around 6 weeks.
◦ Handling - next to never, unless he willingly crawls onto me.
◦ Feeding - Guloaded feeders; Dubia and locusts (he refuses crickets) cup feed dubia and free feed locusts. Gut loaded with a superload (brand escapes me I'm currently out), dandelion leaves, fruit veggies etc.
Calci worms.
He gets fed everyday at 9.30 anything left gets removed before lights out.
5 locusts, 5 dubia and 5 calci worms.
◦ Supplements - Exo terra, calcium w/o d3 every day. With d3 every other week. Vitamin without d3 every other week when it's not d3.
◦ Watering - I hand mist, twice daily, morning for around 2 minutes and evening for a minute. Dripper all morning. He is shy so I leave him alone in a morning, I assume he drinks then.
◦ Fecal Description - White chalky/clear urate, solid but slick blackish brown poop. He has been tested for parasite but I plan to have another done. He poops around 3 times a week.
◦ History - No previous though last time he was due to shed, he did go really dark in colour.
Cage Info:
◦ Cage Type - Exo terra, glass, 90x45x90, naturalistic bottom.
◦ Lighting - exo terra t8 30w UVB, exo terra ceramic for basking.
◦ Temperature - 85-89f basking. 75-64f for ambient. Night never drops below 60f. X3 temp probs in viv at various levels.
◦ Humidity - Once misted, 80% humidity which drops to around 60% once dried out. Never goes below 60%. Two exo terra hygrometers, one bottom, one mid level. Live plants and naturalistic bottom along with dripper to keep maintained. I am also home all day so throw an extra misting session if needed.
◦ Plants - 3 pothos plants.
◦ Placement - Cage in my living room, low traffic as I live alone and rarely have guests, around 3ft off of the floor (not ssuper high but I approach the viv on my knees). Near no windows, vents, fans etc.
◦ Location - East coast England.
Current Problem - Skin concern, as shown on photos above. Not his dark colours but the patches, he can get quite dark when due a shed or basking but last time he shed I didn't see the weird looking bits. Slightly worried about skin infection or parasites but I wouldn't know what I am looking for. Definitely going for a vet trip if he doesn't shed in the next couple of days.
He was feeding fine but slowed down a few days a go. His most recent poop was two days a go and looked fine.
Until yesterday his colouring was light and bright.
