My Chameleon -Veiled (Pascal), male, 6-9 months. Been in my care for around two weeks.
Handling - Not often. Twice since getting him home.
Feeding - 6-8 crickets twice a day, morning and night (around 8am and 8pm) I give my crickets apples, carrots, and a gut loading block.
Supplements - Dusting crickets in Exo-terra Calcium. Will start giving a multivitamin 1st and 15th of the month.
Watering - Spray bottle 15-30 min before turning on lights and 15-30 min after turning lights off. I make sure all the plants have lots of water on the leaves and make sure the roof is saturated with drops. I haven’t seen him directly drink but he has moved closer to the water while I have been watering a couple times. Working on finishing a gallon of so I can make a dripper.
Fecal Description - I haven’t examined feces too closely. Usually, a dark brown with white.
History - I just moved him about less than a week ago into a bigger enclosure with the same materials in the previous enclosure.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 24’x24’x48’ Reptibreeze. All screens.
Lighting - Lights turn on around 8 and turn off around 9. Working on getting an outlet timer. 24 inch T5HO 6% arcadia UVB and 60 watt blue incandescent bulb.
Temperature - Basking branch sits around 87 and dips to around 72 at night. I use a couple digital thermometers and my thermostat stays set at 72.
Humidity - Just bought a digital hygrometer but haven’t installed it yet. (Working on getting better at taking him out of his cage.
Plants - All live plants. Pothos and hibiscus.
Placement - My enclosure is in my bedroom. The two beds in the room are in opposite corners and my roommate and I are usually the only ones going in and out but we’re gone for most of the day so it’s quiet for a majority of the day.
Location - Southern California
Current Problem - He’s been looking a little bit pale recently. Not sure if this is from stress of the new environment, shedding cycle, or incorrect temp/lighting/humidity.
