Your Chameleon - Male Veiled, he is 11 days old (He hatched on 1/1/14), He has been in my care his entire life.
Handling - I haven't really been handling the babies until I noticed that his eyes weren't open and that he is skinnier than the rest of his clutch mates. I took him out today and pretty much force fed him.
Feeding - He ate 3 flightless fruit flies today, I haven't seen him eating inside of the tank specifically but I would think he would have to have eaten something to survive 11 days. I haven't been gut loading the flies. I feed them in the late morning/early afternoon.
Supplements - I haven't done any supplements yet, I was waiting for them to be a bit older.
Watering - I mist them at least twice a day, some times three times depending on my work schedule. I mist them for about 45 seconds and I see them all drinking.
Fecal Description - It is hard to tell if he has gone to the bathroom at all, he is in a tank with 33 other hatchlings.
History - All of the other hatchlings seem fine, I own both of the parents and they have not had any issues and are healthy. They hatched after 29 weeks and 1 day.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Right now they are in a 40 gal breeder tank, once they are older I plan on moving them into a few different screen enclosures.
Lighting - I use a 75w Zilla Day Blue heat light in the day, a 60w ZooMed Moonlite heat light at night, and a Slimline Tropical UVB during the day.
Temperature - I haven't measured the temperatures, but I would say they are mid 80's during the day and mid-high 70's at night. I keep the heat light in the middle so they can bask, and they have both ends of the tank if they want to cool off.
Humidity - I have not measured humidity but I mist them well at least twice a day and I make sure that everything is wet.
Plants - I have a palm frond in there with them now.
Placement - My cage is in my living room, it is in the middle of the room so it is not near any vents, the top of the cage is about 2 feet off the floor (it is on my coffee table)
Location - I live in South Florida.
Current Problem - He has not opened his eyes since he was born, I noticed when he hatched that his eyes were closed but I assumed it was because he had just hatched. I did not notice that his eyes were still not open until today when I saw that he looked much skinnier than the others, I pulled him out of the cage and held him for about an hour and he never opened his eyes, I fed him 3 fruit flies and then put him back in the tank. He walks around pretty normally, he is just clumsy. This is my first clutch and so I was just worried about him. Thank you in advance for your help
