Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambilobe, Male, 4 months. Have had him for 5 days.
Handling - Not often, I want him to eat?
Feeding - Gutloaded crickets, 1/4"-1/2". I have been throwing in 10 past 5 days but he only gets 3 or 4. I put them in in the morning take them out at night. I notice he attempts to feed alot more later in the evening 6pm-8pm. Fruits and vegies.
Supplements - Nothing yet. The pet store has no supplements, told they'll have some this weekend.
Watering - I hand mist several times a day, I do see him drink often.
Fecal Description - Black turd ball with solid white tip.
History - Bought it from Harris in Wonderland at NE reptile show this past sunday.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - DIY 4'X2'X2' cept i have it sectioned off so its 2'x2'x2'
Lighting - 12 on 12 off, 18'' repti sun 5.0, 60w incandesent bulb
Temperature - 90 degrees basking, low 80's at night, I use a exo terro temp/humid but I think it reads roughly 10 degrees too high because of a thread I just read.
Humidity - humidity is being a real pain. I try and keep it 60%-80% but it quickly drops to low 30's high 20's. I use the exo terra.
Plants - No live plants at the moment. I'm going to be getting pothos soon.
Placement - favorable placement
Location - I'm located in massachusettes.
Current Problem - My current problem is my little dude has horrible aim. Misses roughly 4 our 5 attempts. Only gets a few a day. I've tried hand feeding, cup feeding, free range feeding. He'll only attempt at the free roamers. It's been like this since day one. I was hoping it was just a practice issue but 5 days on 3,4,5 crickets a day aint so good. I've read bad aim isn't just a bad skill level. Solutions?
