Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Jackson, age: unknown, Ive had him since 08-2012
Handling - couple times a week
Feeding - mostly crickets, maybe 5-8 either every day or every other day, and typically in the morning,
Supplements - using calcium without d3 with every feeding and cal. with d3 twice a month
Watering - i have a monsoon sprayer with two heads in the corners of his cage. it sprays for two minutes every two hours. and then usually i turn it on for about 10 minutes and give him a good shower every day or so. yes i see him drinking
Fecal Description - looks normal the uriate is typically white or just slightly orange. never been tested for parasites
History - when i first got him we delt with a bit of mouth rot but that has since been cleared up.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 2 foot by 2 foot by 4 feet screen cage with a drip pan
Lighting - i have two 5.0 reptisuns on top, i have a 60watt ceramic heater, and a 100 watt ceramic heater with an addition 60 watt plant bulb
Temperature - temp is usually around 70s in the top of the cage. not sure about basking spot. temp at night is about 65-70. temps are measured using a zilla hydo-therm controller. controlls my fogger and my ceramic heaters, turning them on and off as needed
Humidity - is between 60-80%. humidity is created using a homemade fogger and my monsoon sprayer. again measured and controlled by the hydro-therm controller.
Plants - i have two pothos, one in the top of the cage and another at the bottom. i also have a small ficus tree
Placement - cage is in the upstairs loft, close to the stairs. the top of the cage is probably 7 feet from the floor
Location - located in victorville CA, desert terrain.
Current Problem - since ive had my chameleon he has shed several times, however its always been partial sheds. one moment he'll shed his tail, then his head, then his back and finally his stomach. wasnt really sure if that was normal or not. i dont think hes fully grown yet, since hes relatively small. i was hoping for some help regarding how old he might be based on the pictures. any help or tips regarding my set up and care is much appreciated! Thank you!
