Morning all,
I have a 3 month old Panther chameleon. Recently I keep seeing him opening his mouth and keeping it open. I have been reading up on other forum posts..but I am not exactly sure what RI is. I am posting my own thread due to the fact he is also puffing out his chin. As well I am almost positive he has no added saliva in his mouth. Where do I go from here?
Age: 3months old
Type: Male Ambilobe Panther chameleon
Diet: Gut loaded crickets, meal worms, and silk worms: Crickets are fed fresh veggies and high grade ground cat food w/ calcium
Suppliments: Calcium dust twice a week. multivitamin without D3 once a week and multivitamin with D3 once a month.
Lighting: UVB(5.0) tube, And 50watt basking spot light that is raised off the metal screen with a zoomed light stand.
Misting: About every 4 hours - Also have a humidifier flowing into his enclosure
Enclosure: 16X16X30 Reptibreeze
- He just got moved into a larger enclousure on friday and I had some issues with getting his basking temp. down to where I wanted it. - Basking is at 85F as of right now.
