Chameleon Info:
Current Problem - Dark mark on his back leg, looks like some sort of injury and idk how concerned i should be. you can see it in the photo attached (ignore my crusty nails pls lol). He seems fine and hasn’t been acting any different, but i saw this today and was very concerned. not sure how he got it. ik he likes to walk on the screens... maybe he burnt himself walking on the screen under his heat lamp? never seen him walk up there but im gone a lot so its a possibility. if so how would i fix that w/o changing the basking temp?
- Your Chameleon - 4mo male panther, ive had him for a little over a month
- Handling - 2-3 times a week for cleaning/outdoor time. i keep physical contact to a minimum though
- Feeding - 10-15 crickets a day, occasionally a superworm (a little less crickets on those days). ordering some hornworms/silkworms soon
- Supplements - idk brands off the top of my head but calcium w/o D3 every day except sunday, alternating calcium w/D3 and a multivitamin w/o D3 on the sundays
- Watering - Mist 3 times a day, sometimes 4 (but i make sure that it fully dries in between each mist). i see him drink occasionally. had a dropper before but it didnt work, he seems to get enough water from misting though so im not too worried
- Fecal Description - no testing but white urates, sometimes a tiny bit of orange (like 1/5 of the urate) but nothing to be concerned over
- History - N/A
- Cage Type - XL reptibreeze that ive shortened (by placing a block of wood at the bottom) since hes still little
- Lighting - again, not sure on brands but a linear uvb bulb (reptisun iirc) and a white light for heat
