Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled, male, 3 months. Had my little friend for about a month.
Handling - once or twice a week, remains green the entire time
Feeding - Crickets, have offered alternatives but no such luck so far. On average 10, if I offer any more he ignores them and shies away. Zoo-med cricket diet + various fruits, veggies and grains (all from a list that i saw on the forums).
Supplements - calcium without d3 daily, with d3 bi-weekly, reptivite multivitamin once a month.
Watering -Manual misting throughout the day, I've seen him come down to drink often
Fecal Description - Brown with white 'cap' usually moist. I don't beleive he's been tested for parasites.
History - Got him from a breeder, she had several very healthy chams in her care.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Mesh enclosure. 17x17x30 Will get him a larger one when hes a bit bigger. Refuses to cup feed so I don't want hunting to be too difficult.
Lighting - 75w basking bulb. 5.0 reptisun UVB bulb. On at 9:30 off at 9:30.
Temperature - Basking temp on average sits at about 87 floor temp mid seventies. Overnight is about seventy flat. All measured with digital thermometer.
Humidity - Humidity sits at 55% accoring to hydrometer. Mist periodically to maintain levels.
Plants - No live plants as of yet.
Placement - Enclosure is in my room. no fans, vents and I'm the only one to come and go unless someone is caring for him while I'm at work. Enclosure sit on a stand so top sits at abut 6' off the ground.
Location - Ontario, Canada.
Current Problem - I want to make sure everything is okay for my little guy, I want him to have the best care possible. Also wondering if anyone has any suggestions for getting him to cup feed or how to get him eating worms or roaches. Maybe he's still too young.
