Hey everyone, I've got a little problem. My little guy is acting a bit weird. He's drinking out of the catch dish for his plant. I'm not usually home at this time, so I've never noticed it before. When I woke up he was licking the outside of the terra cotta pot, and now he's licking water out of the dish under the pot. When I misted him this morning he was licking water from the leaves like normal. Does anyone else have a chameleon that does this as well? I've put a shallow dish with a bit of clean, fresh water in it at the bottom for him so he doesn't continue drinking form the plant water.
Don't know if this is really necessary, but I'll fill it out anyway.
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Male ambilobe panther. About five months old, I've had him for two months.
* Handling - 1-2 times a week.
* Feeding - silkworms, butterworms, superworms, waxworms, flies
* Supplements - sticky tongue farms miner-all 3-4 times a week, rep-cal calcium with D3 once every other week. Rep-cal herpivite once a month
* Watering - Misting 2-3 times a day for at least 30 sec. Dripper on during most of the day
* Fecal Description - normal, maybe a little more yellow since I changed his cage
* History - my fist chameleon so I have no clue what I'm doing.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - screen 30x16x16
* Lighting - 65w heat lamp and reptisun 5.0 uvb
* Temperature - 85 at the basking spot. Temp never drops below 62
* Humidity - always at least 50% but usually more. He's in a room with several large fish tanks so humidity is not an issue.
* Plants - I have one live plant in his cage, schefflera
* Placement - cage is place on top of a dresser. Highest point is almost 6 ft off the ground.
* Location - so. cal
