Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - ambilobe panther approx 3 monhs old
Handling - once a day briefly.
Feeding - small crickets, fruit flies
Supplements - Calcium with vitamin d one time and calcium without vitamin d nearly every feeding
Watering - Misting system on timer and drip system
Fecal Description - Brown and white solid. Never been tested for worms
History -my lil guys was shipped from California to utah overnight to a reseller near my location. Panthers are hard to come by here....
Cage Info:
Cage Type - I have an all screen cage with three sides draped with plastic for humidity. It is 4 feet tall and 2.5 ft wide on sides. I do have the top partitioned off to give him closer access to food. It is roughly 14 in tall and 2.5 feet on the sides
Lighting - one heat lamp and one UV lamp
Temperature - 80 at basking and no less than 70 during day anywhere in cage. At night may reach 68 minimum
Humidity - Have nothing to measure humidity levels.
Plants - All live plants. Pothos, baby tears.
Placement - Against a wall (photos available) middle of room away from vents
Location - im in northern utah
Current Problem - Ive had my lil male panther cham for 3 days and have only seen him eat one small cricket, granted i work 9 to 5 and cant watch him all day. He does move around frequently but never while i am watching. Also, i havent seen him drink anything despite regular mistings every 2 hours for 50 seconds straight at a time. My worry is that the guy i bought him from said he was eating like crazy while he had him.... Also at what point do i determine a shower is in order for hydration?
Ive also heard that shipped chameleons should be a no go. But panthers are difficult to come by in my area so this was my option. Does anyone have success/negative stories of overnighted chams?
Cant get the photos uploaded from ipad but ill try when i get home....
