Was told we needed to post here. We’re extremely new to using a forum, so we are still learning, bare with me, lol.

Cage Info:

Noticed that there wasn’t anything about how the cage is kept, cleanliness wise. But just so everyone knows, we fully clean his habitat every four days. Spot clean once a day. When fully cleaning the actual tank we use Fluker’s organic super scrub. We take everything out of his habitat and clean it all with mild anti-bacterial soapy water. Rinse and repeat. Just to be safe.
Here are some pictures of our baby Kronos.
Chameleon Info:
- Your Chameleon - Ambilobe, male-or is suppose to be, he is 3 about months or so the breeder says. He has been with us for 22 days
- Handling - as little as possible, held him 4-5 times and only to take him out to put him on his dragon or umbrella tree to hang out while we clean his habitat.
- Feeding - we are feeding him baby crickets, baby Dubia roaches, flightless fruit flies and extra small silkworms. As for amount, we have seen him eat multiple times but can’t get a completely accurate number because some escape from the cage. He seems to be eating well. We feed him in the mornings. We gut load with Fluker’s orange cube-cricket complete diet, carrots, oranges, tried oats also, Going to be adding more veggies to his diet.
- Supplements-
- Every insect is dusted with Fluker’s Calcium without D3, then twice a month with Zoo Meds Repti calcium with D3 & Rep-Cal Herbtivite multivitamins.
- Watering - We are currently misting with a hand mister. We mist often to keep his humidity up and to make sure he’s staying hydrated. I see him drink from his leaves in the morning and then throughout the day. I check on him literally all the time.
- Fecal Description - His stool or whatnot is dark brown and white.
- History - was injured in shipping on his back right foot. He had a black spot on the part of his foot that was injured. But it’s gone now.
Cage Info:
- Cage Type - 10 gallon glass cage at the moment with a screen on top. Ceiling fan to circulate air but might get a clip on one. We have a 24w x 24d x48h to move him too once he’s big enough. Are now just using our Reptisun t5 5.0, had to many lights before, had a Reptisun 5.0 fluorescent one before also. But that’s fixed now thanks to some help from you guys. Light schedule is 12 on & 12 off.
- Temperature - His temp is now 80 at basking height, ambient is 70-72. Before it was too hot and was at about 85 basking and 75 ambient. Lowest temp at night is 70. we measure temps with 2 temp/humidity gages. One at basking height and the other at the bottom. Getting the ones with probes today and also getting a fluke 62 max temp gun.
- Humidity - Humidity level is between 50-70%. We maintain it by misting.
- Plants - we have one fake vine of leaves and 1 golden Pothos At the moment. We have a dragon tree and a umbrella tree already for when he comes out of his home, so we can clean his habitat and getting a croton also for his large habitat. When he moves up to it.
- Placement - cage is in a room away from people/high traffic with a ceiling fan but might get a clip on fan. The little cage is on a dresser at the moment but the larger one is on a kitchen cabinet I bought from Lowe’s.
- Location - Texas
