Your Chameleon - veiled, male, Aprox. 5-6months of age in my care for 3 months
Handling - before he got sick i handled him 2-3 times a week for a few minutes now about 2 times a week
Feeding -5-10 crickets everyday sometimes i miss a day or two. i feed my crickets mustard greens collard greens and romain
Supplements - i use exo-terra plain calcium 5days a week now repcal once a month and herptivite every other week
Watering - i mist few times a day 2-5 for at least one minute sometimes a few minutes but i wait til the cage drops down in humidity before misting again i also have a dripper
Fecal Description - his droppings sometimes are brown and whit and sometimes the tip of the whites like yellowish hes never been tested but hes been drinking a lot more water than usual and his poop has been getting whiter
History - he was on baytril for popping and wheezing he was having trouble breathing....i think he caught it on a ride to the pet store to get checked out its cold here but i wrapped him in a tubber ware dish and brought him there the tub stayed 75 degrees the hole time i dont know what happend
Cage Info:
Cage Type - all screen cage except front door and floor are plexiglass its 30 inchs high and 24 by 24 roughly
Lighting - 730 am - 645 pm he has an r-zilla t8 its 5.0 and a 75 watt basking light exo-terra sunglo... he also has a flunkers indacent bulb 75watt however u spell it i need both bulb because his cage size and during the winter if not his temps will be like 65-70 during the day
Temperature -the mid cage is in the 80s 75-85 and the Lowest overnight temp is 65.5 the basking spot is 83-89degrees the floor of the cage is 70-76 but he rarely goes down there i measure these temps with two thermometer probes
Humidity - my humidity level always drops down to about 27% after i mist the cage its anywhere from 60-99% but i believe its only 99% because the water gets in the probe and it drops down to 70-60 fairly quickly after misting the cage i measure this with a hygrometer(however i think the water getting in my probe cooked it it doesnt go up past 40 anymore
Plants - fake and live two live pothos
Placement - its in the corner of my room near a heat vent for air circulation and some heat no one really comes in my room the cage is on a stand about 1.5 ft off the ground
Location Michigan
My veiled cham (martian) has been off of baytril for 2 weeks now ive only held him since his last dose about 3 times because i wanted him to feel comfortable again everytime i hold him i can usually hear a popping noise coming from his nostril i dont know how long that takes to go away but i also dont know if its okay he doesnt open his mouth to breath any more wheezing but he worries me i really hope hes not getting sick again i dont know what to do i have baytril left, does anyone have any tips or clues im very unfamiliar with URIs and little popping sounds coming from the nose and i just got a misting system from pro mist im dieing to hook up but i want my chameleon to be healthy before i have a empty micro rainforst in my room
