Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Graceful, male, age unknown he is around 5-6 inches in the body and I've had him for 4 days
Handling - only when I had to move things in his cage although he is very friendly I have had no problems picking him up.
Feeding - medium Crickets from pet store - crickets are feed with broccoli and oranges some meal worms, - I have yet to witness the eating - I did find bitten in half meal worm but not sure if he ate the crickets or they just made a bid for freedom - I also put some mandarin oranges in a feeding bowl
Supplements - I have multi vits and calcium dusts for the crickets
Watering -I have set up a drip system and mist the cage twice a day and I have seen him drinking daily.
Fecal Description - I have had urates that are very white there was also an almost flourescent green substance in the bottom of his cage on day two not sure if it was fecal or not and again this morning although this morning it was attached to the urates it is no bigger than a dime.
History - Only had him for 4 days - Bought him at the local pet store, he is captive bred they did not tell me how old he is and I haven't been able to get back yet to ask them, he is about 5-6 inches in the body and head He moves around freely in his cage
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 3 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft 2 sides are mesh and 3 are solid walls

Temperature - basking zone is 88 and his cooler areas vary from this down to 72 and at night the cage is dropping to 66 - I did purchase a 50W heat lamp and a 50w moonlight lamp but unsure if I should use them or not I have read conflicting advice on this so at this time I am not using them
Humidity - is reading 50% at the lower end and after a good misting around 80%
Plants - all fake branches, jungle vines and leafy plants for hiding and dripping water.
