Hey everyone!
We just got a jackson chameleon last week and he has been doing well up until yesterday when he started gaping for seemingly no reason? He was just shipped in from africa last Wednesday. I checked for signs of a TGI but nothing appears swollen or enflamed. Inside the enclosure he seems to sit directly under UVB (close to the door) with a few of his black spots with his mouth slightly open. Outside his enclosure, he is greener and mouth is closed. Any ideas?
Enclosure size/specs:
Screening on all 3 sides
4hx2dx2w
Fan set up nearby for ventilation
Bioactive setup
Live plants
Lighting:
T5HO 25-Watt 22" bulb
Philips agro 75-watt bulb
Temps:
Basking ~84-87°
Enclosure ~76°day ~60 night
Misting/humidity:
Hand misting 4 times a day ~2 minutes
Hand misting at night ~ 3 minutes
(Mist king set up on the way!)
Humidity ~ 30-60% during the day
Feeding:
Every other day wax worms, cut up fruits
Supplements:
Repashy NoD every feeding
Bee Pollen every feeding
Repashy with D once a month (gave it to him last week)
