I have a 6-month old vieled chameleon, I have had him for three months.
I handle him about every other day.
I give him crickets and meal worms. Two or three mealworms a day and about 4 crickets. I usually feed him in the evening. I give the crickets the Orange Cube and dust them.
I dust the crickets with Reptivite reptile vitamins.
I use a spray bottle to mist him, I mist two or three times a day. I see him drink almost every time,
Recently his droppings have had a large amount of cob-web looking mold on them. He has never been tested for parasites.
Cage Info:
He is in a 20" x 10" glass cage.
I use a Zoo-Med uvb light and a 50 watt 6" heat lamp. I turn both lights on around 10am and turn them off around 10pm.
During the day the tempurature is from 80 on the floor to 85-90 in the basking area. The night temperature is about 65. I have a hydrometer and a thermometer inside the cage all the time.
The humidity stays betweem 40-60 during the day. I mist the whole cage two or three times a day. I use a hydrometer.
There are no live plants.
The cage is in the corner of my bedroom next to a window. The cage is about 4 feet from the floor.
The past month or two he has had eye problems. He keeps them closed almost all day, I rarely see them open and usually to get them open I have to tap on the glass or get his attention. I have taken him to the vet twice, once I got eye drops that didn't seem to help. We took him back and were given ointment that seems to be helping a little more. The eyes are not swollen so I don't think its an infection. Occasionally I see crusty stuff in the slits of his eyes and I carefully remove it. I was force feeding him fish food mixed with peanut butter and water with a siringe but it was starting to hurt him so now I've stopped and he hasn't eaten in 3 days and I can't do anything about it. Please help me!
