Healthy or no?

[randy8468]

I have no idea how old she is. We have had her for about 1 month. Seems to be growing well. The issue is she has not shed since we have had he. She was sickly seeming when we got her. Should I be concerned?

What is your feeding schedule? Also your supplements and schedule

She seems to be a juvenile. Shedding issues usually has to do with husbandry problems. But if she was underweight, she maybe just catching up. The literally grow out if their skin so not molting at all means she has not grown out of it. You should post pics of your setup and lights too. We have excellent me!bers here who will give guidance on fixing any husbandry issues.

It's a few degrees warmer inside my probe sets outside the enclosure. We mist with hand sprayer 3 times a day. Have been feeding dubia roach's crickets and soldier flies to her. She seems to not be interested in mealworms or super worms.

What is your feeding schedule? Also your supplements and schedule

Dust bugs every 2-3 days. Just realized that these are two different things. The feeders get gut loaded with cubes I made of greens, carrots, mango and the calcium flakes I got for the roaches. I am new to this and just trying to keep her healthy and happy for my daughter. Also the chameleon is cool and thinking of getting one for myself. Just now know not to buy one I randomly see on Facebook.

If you can, get rid of the that basking bridge and use horizontal branches... Its better for his feat so they dont lose grip.
