Cage Type - 1/2 glass 1/2 screen, not sure the gallon size but is about 3ft tall - large cage
Lighting - UVB + 160watt mercury vapor basking lamp
Temperature - temps unknown, i live in southern california, she is near the window, high 70's during the day mid 60's at night, basking spot temp unknown
Humidity - again unknown
Plants - Live Ficus with extra branches added
Location - next to the window/ natural sunlight - window usually left open for breeze
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - veiled chameleon, had her for less then a year, bought very young
Feeding - mostly crickets, about 20 a day she also enjoys green lettauce (however u spell it) crickets every day also waxworms every once and a while - i use a calcium dust on the crickets maybe 1x-2x a week.
Watering - i have a drip cup that i fill with warm water almost every day and let it drip, i will also mist spray her cage maybe once a week, i rarely see her drink she is shy about it.
Fecal Description - mostly large brown/black stools, with some white/yellow nearby
ok now that i tried to give you some background information, basically what is going on is she seems to be in her basking spot but also with her mouth open, she doesnt seem to be "breathing through her mouth" ive read that is a sign of respritory issues, but i would figure if she is trying to cool herself off why is she staying in the hottest part of the tank? Also i was thinking maybe she is producing eggs? but have not seen her traveling to lower parts of the cage, unless i can tell she is looking for food. I also notice she is sleeping with her mouth open, and with the window open and near by i find it hard to believe that she is just cooling off. Her appetite hasnt changed much, she still loves green lettauce seems a little hesitant in attacking her crickets, usually as soon as they drop in there she is sticking them before i am done. I fed her romaine lettuace a couple weeks ago and i know she ate some, but didnt seem very interested. I really hope that didnt make her sick.
oh also wanted to add, when her mouth is gaping there isnt any sign of any drool or any spots or anything in her mouth,
thanks.
