Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambilobe, male, about 1.5 years. Has been in my care since he was 4 months
Handling - Handle every other day, try to bring him outside everyday for some real sun since its summer, he's so good with people I have two little nieces, he's so patient with them
Feeding - Mostly crickets, hornworms, silkworms, butterworms for treats. Try to feed everyday but since he turned 1 he has not been a big eater. Try to mix it up so he doesn't get bored, just recently discovered he LOVES butterworms. Cricket get flukers high calcium diet
Supplements - Zoomed reptivite, calcium w/o d3, and calcium with d3. Gets Calcium W/O d3 5 times a week, reptivite twice a month and calcium with d3 twice a month
Watering - He gets misted 3x a day and he doesn't drink from his dripper so he is spoiled and gets from a 1ml dropper, yes he drinks from the misting and from the dripper
Fecal Description - This is part of the problem and ill explain it at the bottom, never been tested for parasites
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Glass exo tera terrarium with screen top, 90 x 45 x 90 cm / 36” x 18” x 36”
Lighting - Zoo med 100 watt basking lamp and 5.0 uvb lamp. light go on at 8am off at
Temperature - Basking temp if about 87, night time 65 have a thermometer in cage
Humidity - Humidity stays about 60% after misting goes to 80% have a hygrometer for humidity
Plants - I have live as well vines for climbing
Placement - Cage is in my room in the basement, lowest traffic area of the house, top of cage is about 5.5 feet from the floor
Location - We live in Alberta, Canada
Current Problem - He has never been a big eater and I recently found he loves butter worms very much so I have been trying to give them to him 2-3 times a week, 1 worm at a time to boost his appetite. About a week ago though I found the morning after I had given his his worm he had thrown it up. After that he refused to heat anything, so I read you can give them pedialyte with some calcium and vitamins to get them back into health. After 3 days of this I decided to give him a couple crickets before I left for work and he ate them up. When I got home we were hanging out on my bed like always when he pooped, which I thought was a good sign but then he kept pushing when everything was out, I pulled out, very carefully, a undigested butter worm. I put him back in the cage to wash my hands and when I came back he threw up his crickets from the morning, the worst part was the little squeak he made that almost broke my heart into pieces. Also very concerning are the dark sport on him that appeared overnight. I know this is extremely long but any help would be VERY appreciated. The first pic is him happy outside, the other two are the black spots
