She is a veiled chameleon , I am unsure of her age or sex when we bought her at petco they didn’t give us any of that informationYou’re calling your Cham a “she”.
She’s been in my care for about 4 weeks now
I try not to carry her too much just because I know it upsets them but I would say once every 2 days or every other day.
I normally feed her around noon 3-4 worms depending on the size of them ( I buy the small ones ) roll them around in calcium powder with d3. This is probably too much d3, even if your uvb is insufficient. There are several acceptable supplementation regimes, and I would encourage you to look into all of them. At this point, however, I would recommend a product called “repashy calcium plus LoD.” You use it as a dust at every feeding, and will work for a veiled chameleon, until you have a firmer grasp on supplementation techniques, and what works best for you. I would say only 1 or 2 of the worms End up getting dusted a fair amount
For the water I have a dripper which drips near the leaves of her plant (that you speak of “her plant” in the singular makes me think her enclosure doesn’t have enough foliage). so she can either get it off the dripper or in the bowl at the bottom where the water is collected. Probably best to get rid of any bowl where standing water can collect. I’ve seen her stand on the bowl a few times so I’m guessing she was drinking.Probably not.
The cage is a glass / screen combo, What do you mean here? Glass on three sides and screen on top? Brand, pics. I keep the lighting on all day unless I see the temp getting too hot. This is not an efficient way to light your enclosure. Uvb bulbs should be on a timer: on 12 hours, off 12 hours. Basking bulbs can be on for the first 4 hours a day. All lights should turn off at the same time every night. I mist her cage at least twice a day A dripper during the day is good. Try misting just before lights on, just after lights off, and just as you go to bed. Low humidity during the day, 100% humidity at night. and let it dry in between , but I also have the dripper always dripping water onto the leaves. Good. The plants are artificial plants This could be improved: live plants are almost always better. , she also has a mesh climbing toy attached to the side and a ladder on the opposite side of the cage You’re better off using a network of horizontal branches with a mass of live foliage in the mid section of the enclosure.
There are many husbandry points you haven’t answered here. What is your source of uvb? What temperature gradients are you getting? What humidity ranges are you seeing?
