Your Chameleon - Panther, female, 6 months, we've had her for 3 months
Handling - We handle Kali about once a week.
Feeding - Crickets and horn worms, we gutload with a blend of mustard greens, water cress, bok choy, green beans, carrots, alfalfa sprouts, oranges, papaya, mango, fuji apples and bee pollen that we puree and then freeze into cubes and feed 1 cube at night and then we select the crickets that we are feeding that day into a keeper and feed them cricket crack. She typically eats about 6 crickets daily and 1-2 worms every few days but her appetite has been low for the past 4 days or so. Her last big meal was 2 worms.
Supplements - we use reptical calcium w/o d3 daily, rep cal w d3 2x a month and zoomed reptivite w/o d3 2x a month
Watering - We have a low profile aquazamp raindome, misting about 6 times a day at various lengths of time, shortest being 5 minutes, longest 15 min, i do see her drink.
Fecal Description - today's droppings were very large brown with white urates, with some mucus this morning. Also, we found what seemed to be a partially digested worm yesterday in her cage. Potential constipation?
History - we received her from a local breeder, grandsire is brendan of scremealeons, she has been pretty robust and sassy but overall easy to handle
Cage Info:
Cage Type - reptibreeze 24x24x48
Lighting - 12 on 12 off, reptisun 5.0 linear and a 45 watt incandescent for basking
Temperature - Average 84 basking, 70 ambient, we use caliber 4R hygrometer and acurite weather station
Humidity - Humidity averages between 50 and 65%, see above for how recorded
Plants -We have a dwarf umbrella plant and multiple fake vines. We also have a 18" deep lay bin which she has not done anything with yet other than poop in it.
Placement - Low traffic area, closest vent is about 6 feet away from the cage, in room with another cage that has a male cham with vision barrier, top of cage is about 6.5 feet off the ground.
Location - Chicago il
Current Problem - We're concerned about her tail.for the past few days we've noticed a gray discoloration on her tail. It may have been there before and we're just noticing it more now as it is somewhat evident in other pictures but it seems more pronounced. It's mainly at the base and stays the same color even when she gets fired up. She is using her tail and all of her limbs. Perhaps some slight weakness at the base of her tail but hard to tell for sure. Please see attached pictures. Otherwise she is acting normal, except slightly low appetite. It's been about a month since she has shed so wondering if that is what's going on or if it's something else we should be worried about.
