Chameleon Info:
- Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Male veiled chameleon , 1,5 years had him for 1 year
- Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? A few times a day But its to take him outside or clean the habitat. Since I’m just 17 I still live with my parents so every 2-3 weeks we move him. When I get money for the new habitat I won’t be moving him.
- Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? Roaches, crickets, strawberries (small amount) 2-3 every second day. I give the insects strawberries, apples, cucumber but mostly carrot.
- Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? I’ll get photos, I dust the insects without D3 mostly, then with D3 2 times every 2 weeks, vitamins 1 time a month. If this is wrong please tell how the schedule really works.
- Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? Plastic syringe cause the only time he’s drinking is with the waterfall but it’s apparently bad so I stopped with that, 1-2 minutes and I must when it gets dry in the terrarium
- Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Sometimes white sometimes yellow ish, when it comes out it’s not watery but not solid, it’s both in a way.
- History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. We have had him to the vet once but it was nothing serious. I do believe he had a stroke or something..

Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about. He is laying on his side, can’t walk normally, he has a strong grip but still fall off the branches. Sometimes he sleeps on the ground by the dirt which concerns me. His head vibrates/shaking when he’s throwing out his tongue.
The vitamin (the black one) is a new one I’m using, I don’t know where I put the other one.--------------
