OK, I’ll give this a whirl:Your Chameleon - The species sex jackson chameleon and age of your chameleon i believe she's two but im not sure i got her as an adult How long has it been in your care? ive had her for almost 3 months
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? every other day when i feed her because she runs into my hand lolSo, Jackson’s are known for their gregarious nature, but even the friendliest chams shouldn’t be clambering to get onto a potential predator everytime the cage opens. She might just want out.
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? dubia roaches and super worms as treats You could add some more variety here. Crickets, silkworms and bsfl; as well as waxworms and hornworms. What amount? 5-6 medium roachesWhat is the schedule? every other day How are you gut-loading your feeders? sweet potato,carrots,greens, apples More specificity please. 2-3 medium sized feeders, 3 days/week is lots. How much high calcium greens vs. fruits are you using?
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? calcium without d3 every feeding This might or might not be sufficient given the specifics of your gutloading regime and your uvb specs.
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? reptile dripper How often and how long to you mist?every morning and night for about a 45 seconds Do you see your chameleon drinking?yes First, Jackson’s aren’t usually observed drinking—at least at my house. So a Jackson’s that goes readily to water all the time might not be having her/his hydration requirements met. Here’s what a lot of people are doing, and what I’ve found beneficial: dripper during the day, misting only when lists off. Maintain daytime humidity <50%, AND NIGHTIME HUMIDITY >100%.
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. brown with white tip and she poops like once a week Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? no
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. she had 32 babies august 29th
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?)very large screen cage i dont know the measurements i got it used More specificity required.
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? idk but her cage is 80 at her basking spot and 60 at the bottom and im saving up for better lighting What is your daily lighting schedule?turn on at about 8am and off at 9pmThis is an area that NEEDS more specificity. Montane species, like Jackson’s, have evolved in an environment that is at least 1000 meters closer to the sun than sea-level species. While they spend a lot of time in the foliage, when they are exposed to full sun, they see uvb levels well above uvi 7. What kind of uvb bulb are you using; how old is it; do you measure uvi with a solar meter?
How do you measure these temps?tempter gun
