We are noobies..We just got Negvar a week ago...our first Cham.
Pretty sure Negvar is a boy - see spur pics and pics of beige scaly stripe
Your Chameleon - Veiled, not sure how old.
Handling - briefly 1-2 times per day...he seems to like it though and almost looks like he is trying to get out at you...
Feeding - Gut loaded Crickets, live meal worms. Both dusted with Calcium, feeding on added dark leafy lettuce, and looks to be eating Pothos and other live plants.
Supplements - Just the calcium
Watering - misted by spray, 4-5 times a day, sonic humidifier, ice cubes dripping to water plants
Fecal Description - Dark brown...(I cleaned up before I was knew to take a close look at the pooh colors.)
History - Only had him a week, got him at a local pet store... Pretty sure he is male (See attached pics)
Cage Info: 30" X 12" X 12" Screened top
Cage Type - Glass Cage (See this link for setup - https://www.chameleonforums.com/will-negvar-okay-awhile-88931 (Have put the big Pothos in) will remove substrate soon.
Lighting - UVA+UVB lights. Night light for warmth
Temperature - Basking 86-90F Coolest side of cage in the shade of a plant 80F He sometimes sits very close to the top where the lamp is.... Then roams all over...Pretty active. I have moved the basking lamp away from the highest point in the cage.
How do you measure these temps: thermometer
Humidity - 70-90 percent. Measured by thermometer with humidity sensor.
Plants - Live plants, all screened for safety
Placement - Where is your cage located? On top of a book case in a sunny room.
At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? 3 feet
Location - Where are you geographically located? Phoenix AZ, hot desert.
Current Problem - Not so much a problem as a question. He is green and sometimes bright green - but has this beige scale horizontal stripe. Plus you can see his ribs (which I understand may be typical for a young one).
He has a voracious appetite, and we see him drink at least once per day during misting. He will eat 10 -15 meal worms a day, crunch on veggies and hunt down a number of crickets roaming his cage as well....Are we over feeding or are they pretty self regulating?
