Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon -Nosy Faly Panther Chameleon, male, 9-10 months old, and i've had him for 4 months
Handling - At first was shy but now everytime i open his cage he's trying to crawl out on me, so usually a few mins daily
Feeding - Used to eat 4-5 crickets daily but stopped eating those about 2 weeks ago so ive switched to super worms and mealworms. Usually i switch from 8-10 mealworms one day, and 3 superworms the next.
Supplements - Exo terra calcium w/o d3 daily, Flunkers calcium w d3 twice a month, Exo terra multi vitamin twice a month.
Watering - Usually Spray his cage 3-4 times a day with a spray bottle, although i am installing a mistking tomorrow. He drinks almost everytime, and alot more now that he hasnt been eating as much.
Fecal Description - His feces is brown with a white tip, and he hasnt been tested for parasites but he was bought off a breeders "Chamaleon Nation"
History - He was never a huge eater since i've had him, but lately he isnt interested at all with food
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Glass front with screen top and sides, it is a custom made tank and is 4ft tall 3ft wide 2 ft deep
Lighting - Exo terra 5.0 18inch 15 watt UV bulb, and Exo terra 75 watt heating bulb. They lights turn on at 7:30am and go off each night at 7:45pm
Temperature - Basking spot is around 85 and bottum of the cage is around 70, usually drops to 70 overnight
Humidity - range from 40-80 and this is maintained with a spraybottle (soon to be mistking)
Plants - Yes there is a large umbrella plant in the bottum
Placement - The cage is located in my room which is the lowest traffic area in my house, i have the 4ft cage built on a 2ft stand so it is fairly high.
Location - Newfoundland, Canada
Current Problem - My Chameleons appetite was slowly decreasing til a few days ago.. now he wont eat at all. I dont have the option of tryin a different food as im in a fairly remote location and the only food a my pet store is crickets, superworms, mealworms. really starting to get worried about the little guy and any information helps. thanks for your time !!

the lack in appetite after feeding these worms for a period of time i personally suspect but have no physical evidence. is that first, without properly gut loading this insect. The natural nutritional make up of this insect is very poor and whatever the insect is lacking or giving to much of is causing the lack in appetite. second, the animal can become impacted as a result of factors like over feeding these types of worms, insufficient hydration, poor health, improper temps and etc.
