So here's the scoop, Molly has been a brownish green for a while. She's really only is this color when she is in her cage. So here's the info:
Current Problem - Molly isn't bright anymore.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled, female, about 1 y.o, I have had her since september I think.
Handling - Daily, she is on medication.
Feeding - Crickets, around 3 a day or every other day if she will take them, lately she has been better. I gutload with carrots, fluker's orange cubes, and a gutload mix I got from JannB
Supplements - Rep-cal no phosphorous no vitamin D3 every feeding, only the head of the cricket is dusted since I hand (force) feed, and reptolife plus multivitamin and mineral supplement once a month.
Watering - I hand mist 3-4 times a day, I have seen her drink once and that was the other day.
Fecal Description - Dark brown fecal with white urate
History - Molly was from petsmart, they had pretty much given up on her and gave her to me. She is battling eye problems but is getting better. She is currently on reptaid once a day, vetropolycin opthalmic ointment, and Ciprofloxacin HCL every three days. She had recently started showing nice blues and yellows when I built her a new enclosure.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 32x32x32 screen homemade enclosure with a painted wood frame. I have plastic sheets covering 3 sides, leaving the front door and the top open, to keep in heat and humidity since it is very cold outside and my walls and windows are not very well insulated.
Lighting - around 12 hours a day, I have a regular 100w house bulb in a dome fixture for basking, a 60w basking bulb in a dome fixture for extra warmth on the other side since it is so large, and a reptiglo? linear tube about 18" that I got from JannB also so I am not sure if it is reptiglo or reptisun and the wattage but it is from an experienced chameleon keeper so I assume it is safe.
Temperature - Basking spot on the left is around 86 Fahrenheit, spot on the right is about 75 Fahrenheit, and ambient goes from 70-68. Overnight temps can drop to around 66 Fahrenheit.
Humidity - usually around 50%, can go up to 80% after a misting.
Plants - Hibiscus, Dracaena, umbrella tree, pothos, geranium, and a bunch of fake vines.
Placement - The enclosure is on the floor since it is too big to fit on anything. In my livingroom, which is basically my whole apartment. We are pretty layed back and there is not much hustle and bustle in there.
Location - New Hampshire, USA
