Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon, male, 8 months old, had him for almost 3 months
Handling - Never, unless I have to do a full cage cleanout
Feeding - crickets, butter worms, phoenix worms/ black soldier flies, Waxworms
Crickets are always in his cage. Worms go in a dish that he eats out of, the dish has calcium dust in it once a week.
Supplements - using flukers calcium powder with d3 phosphorus free once a week, multivitamin once every 2 months
Watering - I mist him 3 times a day for 5 minutes each. There is a drip system that drips distilled water onto a ficus leaf (rubber tree). I see him drink off of the leaf every day.
Fecal Descriptions - his poop is white liquid with a black lump in the middle. It is runny. He poops about 3 times a day.
History - twice, when he has eaten too many worms, he has pooped out undigested ones.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - It is a mesh cage that is 30 by 16.5 by 48 inches.
Lighting - I use a standard 100 watt house bulb as a basking light. He gets 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness (6 am to 6 pm is light).
Temperature - the temperature range is 70 to 105 degrees. He basks most of the day, except for when he goes to poop, hunt, and drink. I use thermometers.
Humidity - I keep a constant humidity by misting thrice a day. The humidity is 50 at lowest and 80 at highest.
Plants - I use live plants and fake plants. The fake plants is a vine that wraps all over the cage. The live plants are a ficus benjamina that reaches all the way to the top of the cage, and a rubber tree that provides lots of shade and holds water really well in the leaves.
Placement - The cage is in my room. It is not a high traffic area, because only I go in there maybe tree times a day.ni am at school the rest of the time, and I keep my door locked so no one else can get in. The top of the cage is about 5 feet 2 inches off the ground, and I keep a fan on by my bed at the lowest speed.
Location - I am located in a suburb off of the Houston area in Texas.
Current Problem - he keeps one eye closed at a time, and he just sits under his basking light like that during the day. He sleeps normally at night, without being disturbed.
