My Chameleon: I have a 3month old, male panther chameleon, which I've had for about a month now.
Handling: I don't handle him anymore. I used to try to hold him to get him used to me but he never seemed to like it and would try to get back into his enclosure any chance he got.
Feeding: I feed him small crickets (8-10 every morning) that I gut-load with "Fluker's Complete Cricket Diet" and recently began feeding him waxworms.
Supplements: I dust crickets in Rep-Cal's Herptivite and Calcium w/ Vitamin D.
Watering: I have a dripping system, and I mist his enclosure about 3 times per day.
Fecal Description: Usually brown with white tips. Lately, I've been seeing less droppings than before.
Cage Info: It's an all screen aluminum enclosure, 36" tall x 30" long x 18" wide.
Lighting: I'm using Zoomed's Reptisun 5.0 UVB lighting, along with two 75Watt basking bulbs.
Temperature: It always remains between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, with lower temps at the bottom and higher temps near the top. At night it drops to the 60's but never below that.
Humidity: The enclosure is always kept at a humidity between 40-70, but is higher right after misting sessions. I also have a repti-fogger that I turn on every once in a while.
Plants: I have two live plants, both of which are "Camellia Japonica."
Placement: The enclosure sits on top of my 3-foot tall dresser in my room, away from windows or fans.
Location: I live in southern California, near the city of Long Beach.
Current Problem: Since I got my cham he's always seemed healthy. He would eat between 8-10 small crickets a day. But recently he stopped eating crickets so I introduced waxworms and he loved them. I fed him about 6 of them about two days ago. Yesterday though he only ate 2 crickets and 2 waxworms all day. And now this morning he's not eating at all like he usually does. I'm worried there may be problem. If so, what could it be, and what should I do?
