I am going to go through everything and put my notes in red bold. Please let me know what you have questions on?
Chameleon Info:
◦ Your Chameleon - Villed chamelon, female, Mabe a year? Unknown.in my care Since August-july about.
Has she laid eggs yet? does she have a permanent lay bin?
◦ Handling - not that often at most once a day. I dont bring her out everyday?
that is fine.
◦ Feeding - large superworms about 3-4 but she only eats every four days I offer her food everyday. Around 6:00 am and pm. I am gut loading them baby carrots.
Ok superworms are low in nutritional value so they are used when feeding other feeders. I will post an image sheet on feeder types. She should only be fed in the morning so she can bask all day to digest. The gutload needs to be improved upon see image sheet. We gutload not to feed the insects but to pass on nutritional diversity to the chameleon.
◦ Supplements - I do not dust my feeders with anything unless I have crickets when I do I shake the with repti-calcium without D3s
She must have calcium without D3 at every feeding and calcium with D3 2 times a month as well as a multivitamin 2 times a month. These two we rotate week over week. This is extremely important for a female with egg production.
◦ Watering - at nights I spray her mouth area with water she drinks it.
If she is this desperate to drink then you are not misting the cage or providing a constant water source for her. This is not good.
◦ Fecal Description - never been tested for parisites, he has had a loss of appetite so I have not seen the poop
I would suggest taking a fresh fecal in to be run for parasites.
◦ History - I know no information expect from I got her from petco or petsmart
(Sorry about grammer)
Cage- screen
◦ Lighting -heatlamp and uv bulb heat light from exo terrain daytime heatlamp.
Please post a picture of your lighting? IF the uvb is a screw in bulb then it is not the correct lighting. What schedule are you running for lighting? It should be 12 hours on and 12 hours off.
◦ Temperature - baking-80-90 bottom 75-80 (guess)
90 is too hot for basking for a female it should be no hotter then 85 at basking? What do you mean a guess? Do you have a heat gun to test temps or any temp probes?
◦ Plants --no regular fake plants
she would benefit greatly from live plants...
◦ Placement - on the floor of my room it is near a fan that is sometimes on. also by a window
She should not be on the floor. Her cage should be elevated so she is sitting higher then you when your standing. Being on the floor is unnatural for them since they are arboreal animals.
Current Problem - some type of illness that I'm unaware of and I want her to live her best life
I don't see anything specific in the picture but there are multiple husbandry issues that need your attention to ensure she is a healthy girl.
