Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Eli is a male 3-4 month old Chameleon. He has been in my care for a week and a half
Handling - 3-4 times a week
Feeding - I am feeding him small mealworms 10 every day but he doesn't always eat all of them. I am also feeding him 5-10 of 3/4 to 1/2 inch crickets. Along with every feeding I offer him squash, lettuce, greens, and apples I also gut load the crickets and mealworms with the same stuff.
Supplements - Zilla Vitamin Supplement spray I am only going to use this twice every other month due to the D3 that is in it. I also am going to use Zoo Med Repti Calcium dusting and the months that I don't use the Zilla spray I will use the Zoo Med dusting.
Watering - I use tap water that has sat in an open bottle for 24 hours. I mist twice a day and I don't mist for specific amount of time just till I have the cage all misted I also have a zoo med fogger and run that for probably 30 minutes twice a day.
Fecal Description - He has only pooped once and that was a week after I got him. This picture bellow looks exactly like what Eli's poop looked like. Credit to 'ferretinmyshoes' for the image "Normal Poop" Eli has not been tested for parasites.
History - Nothing to report here.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Repti Breeze 16 x 16 x 30 it is all screen.
Lighting - I can't remember what type of basking bulb I got but My UVB (100) Tropical is a Exo-terra. I turn on both lights around 7:00 AM and turn them off around 8:30-9:00 PM
Temperature - How do you measure these temps? Basking spot is around 75-80 F. Floor 68-75. At night it gets ay where from 65 F -68 F.
Humidity - Humidity is around 50%-70%. Like I said previously I have a repti fogger. I measure humidity with exp-terra hygrometer.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? I have 2 fake plants and one live plant. My live plant is a Dracaena Marginata.
Placement - Eli's cage is in the front of my living room. Our apartment does not get much traffic because the only people living here is me and my wife along with my 5 month old son who can't even crawl. No fans around and the cage sits on a 3 foot table and the height from the top of the cage to the ceiling is 3-3 1/2 feet.
Location - I live in North Carolina
Problem: Yesterday my veiled chameleon at 10-12 3/4 to 1/2 (medium) sized crickets. But my said he seemed to be still hungry after I left for work so she gave him some more crickets one of them was a large cricket (she didn't know any better and I talked to her about it). My wife said that my chameleon had a hard time getting it down but he managed. I ran out of mealworms and haven't had time to run to the store to get more mealworms. So today I gave him some more crickets at around 8 AM and it is now 8 PM and it seems that he's only eating about 3-4 crickets. He has seemed kinda disinterested in the crickets. Could it be possible that he is "scared" from yesterday and trying to eat the large cricket?
