Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male, Veiled Chameleon. 6 Months Old.
Handling - I use to be able to handle him whenever i cleaned the cage. He now hisses, puffs up, and occasionally lunges when i get near him.
Feeding - Large Crickets, Silkworms, and Hornworms. He was eating 10-15 large crickets and now its less than 5 a day.
Supplements - Repashy Calcium Plus Daily
Watering - Misting 3+ times a day
Fecal Description - Brown poop with occasional watery white urate
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 18x18x36 screen cage.
Lighting - 5.0 reptisun tube with 50w basking light. 12 hours on 12 hours off
Temperature - 85-90 in basking spot and drops to 70 at night.
Humidity - 40-60%
Plants - Live Umbrella tree, fake leaves and vines.
Placement - About 3 feet off the floor in our spare bedroom
Location - SF Bay Area
Current Problem - Waldo's appetite has declined quite a bit in the last month or so. He was eating 10-15 large crickets and it dropped to maybe 5 a day. He seemed to be stressed out so I ended up getting a bigger cage for him. I moved him to the new cage and i noticed he was more stressed and started eating less. I didnt notice any poop for a few days and even his urates were less than normal but still white. I thought he might have been bored with crickets so i ordered some Silkworms and Hornworms and he seems to snap them up more often than the crickets but he is still extremely stressed and has still been a little devil when it comes to his attitude. Im not sure what could be causing this now that he has different types of food and a bigger cage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
