I have a Female Sambava x Ambanja Female Chameleon she is sleeping during the day. Not eating, drinking a little. I have a 5.0 UVB repti glow bulb around 4 months in age of the bulb. I have had her for about 4 months now she is around the age of 6-7 Months. I have a bin in the cage filled with play sand/soil 11" just in case she has eggs, but she still hasnt done any digging. Does anyone have any suggestions or know whats wrong? If you have had this experience before please give me some help thanks. If you need any additional info just let me know. She also opens her mouth every once in a while as if she is tasting the air. Crawls around blindly sometimes on edges of cage. Wont go to the bottom where the dirt is though :confused: HOpe you can help.



Age: 6 Month female
Cage: 24 x 24 x 36
Temp: Day 87F Night 67F
Mist: 3times a day
Humidity: 60 percent Nearly all day
UVB: 5.0 Reptiglow bulb (only 4 months old)
Supplements: Calcium every other day and Multi vitamin every 10 days
Diet: Everything from roaches, crickets, superworms, hornworms, mealworms, and wax worms.
Apperance: Gravid and eyes are normal with nothing appearing to aggitate. They are not sunken in either.
 
Do you hear a popping sound when she is opening her mouth?

Cool her down! 87 degrees will make her lay eggs more often and shorten lifespan..
I can't remember what the exact temperature should be if you want to slow down egg laying but I believe it is around 78..
87 is very warm even if you had a VEILED instead of a panther..

Don't forget to change your UVB in a couple months.
 
The temp is 87F towards the top only when I have the ac off in the house but when its on its usually around 78F. There is no sounds being made from her as well.
:confused:
 
You said..."She also opens her mouth every once in a while as if she is tasting the air. Crawls around blindly sometimes on edges of cage."...IMHO you need to get her to a vets right away.
 
your basking temps are spot on mate,all of my panthers have a basking spot of 88f.i would say she needs to see a vet asap
