Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - He is a Red bodied blue barred panther chameleon male, and i have had him for 26 days.
* Handling -I handle him twice a day or sometimes more. (More than i probably should)
* Feeding - Medium Crickets, recently super worms, and before giant mealworms. 12 or 14 crickets a day, every other day about 5 giant mealworms. Feed crickets every 3 days, every other day worms. I use lettuce, carrots, and oranges.
* Supplements - Repcall with d3 every 3 days.
* Watering - About 5 times a day and yes i have seen him licking mist off leaves and the cage.
* Fecal Description -He has long dumps with yellow dump attached to the end. The color is medium brown to dark brown.. Never been tested for parasites.
* History - "He has awesome colors when he fires up, its intense. His dad was red bodied blue barred cham when fired-up. His grandpa from his mom's side has a bright red body and sky blue bars. When i put crickets in his cage he hunts like a pro. If you put a cricket in your hand he will shoot his tongue from far away. He was caged with 2 other chams, a sambava 3 and a half months old and a female 4 months old. He is 4 and a half months old. He was the biggest one of the clutch with the best colors." The first day i got him i put my hand a foot away from him with a cricket in my hand and he shot his tongue and ate it.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - 2 feet by 1 feet by 2 feet all screen
* Lighting - 18 inch hood uvb bolb 5 months old. and a heat lamp with 60 watts about 6 inches diameter.
* Temperature - During the day 75 degrees to 80 degrees. At night from 58 to 65 degrees. I use a house thermometer for night time and thermometer for the day.
* Humidity - At the very lowest it it rarely 50 percent regular is 60 and when misted 70 to 80.
* Plants - No live plants, other than fake plants i am using some dried twigs.
* Placement - Located in my room. No fans, one air vent across the room,no real traffic areas, At 4 and a half feet at the top of the cage. the height of the room is 8 feet.
* Location - I am located in Malibu California.
Current Problem - It has been three days since my chameleon has eaten. This is because i stopped hand feeding him for three days because i was told to let him hunt on his own if i want him to start shooting his tongue. How do i get him to start shooting his tongue and eating from his cage. He has got very a little thinner, his grip is almost the exact same, maybe a slight difference. And he fires up real easy lately. when i put him out to rome. I put crickets in his cage and take them out at night time. They are the exact same amount except for one or two which died.
