Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled, female, approx. 16-18 mnths. I have had her since she was a baby.
Handling - Rarely, only when necessary.
Feeding - Large crickets, large meal worms, wax worms and on rare occasions goliath worms(not recently) 3-5 crickets 4 meal 5 wax worms one goliath. I change what i give her daily never the same thing twice. i gut load with Fluker's High-Calcium Cricket Diet and use zoo-med calcium powder to coat the insects as well 3 times a week.
Watering - I have a drip on all the time. i mist every other day. Yes i see my chameleon drinking.
Fecal Description - all looks normal. Never tested for parasites
History - she has laid two clutches of eggs so far the first was infertile at about a year in age the second fertile in may.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen cage 2ft tall, 2ft wide, 18in long.
Lighting - zoo-med naturalistic terrarium hood, zoo-med repti-sun 5.0 uvb tropical and a standard light bulb. the lights come on around 7 am and go off around 8 pm
Temperature - not sure of the basking spot temp or the bottom temp, but the middle temp is between 70-80 daytime and never less than 65 at night. zilla temp and humid combo
Humidity - Humidity is kind of sketchy right now because of the air conditioning but i have live plants and i mist more often.
Plants - yes ficus benjamina
Placement - in my sons room on his dresser. my son spends little time in his room and the time he is in there is either video games or cartoons. The cage was about 4 ft from the a/c until about three days ago i moved the a/c further away now about 17 ft away.
Location - Pennsylvania.
Current Problem - About three days ago now I noticed that my female veiled was on the bottom of her cage next to the plant. I thought nothing of it and figured she was just chasing crickets. The next day I noticed she was still there on the bottom so I thought maybe she was gravid. So I picked her up and put her in her bucket in her cage. She has been sitting in the bucket ever since. She is drinking from an eye dropper, but still has not ate anything. I offered her a meal worm and she tried to grab it but it fell. After I picked it back up she did not want it. Also she has this black mark on her which i do not remember seeing before. She is my first cham ever which should be a topic up further How much experience do you have with chams? And what kinds?
The images should be the black mark, her in the bucket after I offered her food, and lastly a video of her attempting to get out of the bucket after I initially put her in. She did not succeed and just lowered herself back in. There are also picks of her in my gallery from before.
