i found this beautiful creature and now want to care for him/her, but i dont know the gender or the species. i need to know, so i can look after him or her properly.
i live in South Africa, Port Elizabeth, the temperatures here range from 18 degrees celsius to 30 degrees celsius, he or she is in a cage of 60 cm length, by 40 cm height with a glass panel and lots of ventilation. the lady at the pet shop gave me a red globe for when it is cold to keep the cage warm.
the chameleon is about 7cm in length.
there are rocks in the cage taken from its natural environment, lots of live foliage and branches to climb on.
he or she doesnt want the silkworms we got and as ive read only feed him or her crickets that are the size between its eyes. ive had him or her for 2 das now in which in total he or she has only eaten about 4 or 5 all together. he or she is very docile, and always light in colour.
i cleaned the cage yesterday and there was faeces in the cage.
i introduced a dripper and mist the cage lightly twice a day.
he or she os very still tho most of the day and sleeps alot.
any and all help is hugely appreciated.
