Before we get his new cage (I’m getting the large atrium from dragon strand once they are available), I just want to make sure he is a healthy weight and that I have his care completely correct.

Cage Info:
Current Problem - Pete is only eating 7-8 of his crickets per day. Is he bored? I’m also worried about his back and his weight
Chameleon Info:
- Your Chameleon - Male panther chameleon, nearly a year old, has been in my care since February
- Handling - Not often, lately I have been letting him come out on his own (I make sure there is nothing in the room except me and him, I open his cage and put his free range tree so he crawls onto it.)

- Supplements - Repashy calcium plus lod daily
- Watering - A long mist in the morning and before bed, and sometimes a little bit of water after he eats
