Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambelobie PAnther Chameleon
Male
4 months old
I have had him for 4 days
Handling - I have handled him once when i took him out of the cage to move
some foliage
Feeding - I am feeling Apollo number 1 locusts a day and have some
small/medium crickets on the way. I also feed him 2 Indian baby
stick insects a day.
I feed him 4 locusts in the morning and 2 locusts in the afternoon
as it gives him something to do.
I give the locusts gut loading substance and a lettuce leaf. The
stick insects privet.
Supplements - Gutload pro-formula given to the locusts every evening.
Nutrobal calcium-put in with the locusts every other day.
No vitamins used
Watering - I use a simple spray bottle which i use to mist the cage for 20
seconds 3 times a day. I do see Apollo drinking, he drinks off
leaves and the walls.
Fecal Description - The droppings are long and thin. mostly brown, with a
white tip. Solid shape.
I don't know if he has been tested for parasites
History - He came from a breeder who i have met personally. No other
history.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - A five sided wooden sided cage with sliding glass front. I has a
plastic section at the back 2.5"x14" which holes in it to allow
a good ventilation.
36"x14"x18".
Lighting - Repti Glo 10.0 UVB. 26W Exo Terra.
Reflector R80 100W 240V Red.
I have a timer which turns on both at 7:15 am and turns it off at
9:00 pm.
Temperature - Basking Spot:30c 86F
Floor temp: 25c 77F
Lowest temp so far: 17c 62.6F But i do cover the cage with a
cloth.
I measure the temp by using a digital thermometer.
Humidity - The average humidity level is 50%
After i have sprayed it goes up to 70% tops. Usually 60%.
I have a small analogue dial.
Plants - I am not using lives plants at the moment. Only plastic. Though i
hope to change this.
Placement - My cage is in my room, which is on the second floor. There are
no vents near it and the door to the room cant be seen. He is
on small cabinet, just under waist height.
There are no small children around and the cats stay down
stairs, i keep my door closed.
Location -I live near London, United Kingdom.
I am having a few problems with my chameleon.
At about 8 o'clock he started cleaning his eyes after i sprayed him, but then he started inflating his eyes and they seemed to bulge out of his head, almost twice the usual size. He has only started doing it this yesterday morning,but with being at school the other day i dont know if he was doing it then as well. The eye on the left goes down pretty quickly, but he has to rub the right eye against something to make it go down.
I have looked at previous threads and am quite confused as there is lots of different reasons.I have a feeling that he might be shedding, but there is nothing in his eyes.
Also i have realised that he has been closing his eyes. Both of them. He closes them for about 10 seconds and then looks around. I don't know if it because he is still getting used to the surroundings or if the light is too strong, or if he's tired.
I have tried spraying him, but he went into a panic and tried to run way with his eyes closed.
I have never had a chameleon before and don't know if its just me being paranoid as a first time owner.
If some one could reply it would be really helpful.
Thanks
