Ok here goes...
I've had my Cham for about 2 weeks. my mom bought him for me at a flea market of all places. I've always liked Lizards. And since I'm going threw a divorce she thought he'd give me something to care for. wich I do I love him to death. But I know I can be doing more for him (i think he's a him) I've been reading some of the post and and have been learning alot.
Im kind of concerned about his eating and drinking he doesn't want to drink everyday. I mist his plant he spends 90% of his day on, and him just a little at least 2x a day. He will start opening an closing his mouth and sometimes he will drink. Sometimes he just crawls to the other side of the Aquarium. I live out in the country right now and I bought him crickets, some small ones.. ive never seen him eat them but they are gone. But im not sure if they are getting out of the top. It has a mesh wire and plastic top. I catch him doodle bugs/ rolly pollies (idk what they are really called) I do know that he likes them Ive actually seen him eat 1. I caught him a cricket an some little centipeed lookin things. But he doesnt eat bugs soon as u drop them in there. some doodle bugs have even died on the bottom of the aquarium.
His poop was bright orange and yellow, now its a dark orange almost brown and white'ish. I clean his cage out once a week. He doesnt mind being handled. soon as i put my hand in the cage he grabs for it and climbs up my arm. It takes forever to get him back in though.
I have a SunGlo bulb on him during the day and a Moonglo bulb at night. I know that I've read some mixed reviews about the moonlight one it doesnt really do anything but i like being able to see him at night. Bc hes in my room. I need to get temp gauges? so i know what the temp is in his little home? and a Mister? what are peoples opinions and the best to get? and could that be the reason why he doesnt eat that much sometimes?
I just started back working and I will get my first check on Friday. I want him to be the happiest Chameleon ever. So any suggestions are very much appreciated. I tried talking to the lady at Petco where i got the crickets, and bulbs but that was an ultra fail.. I cant figure out how to put pics of him on here... I will keep trying though.
Thank You anyone that has any info for me.
