Hi, I'm a new Cham owner and I'm not sure if my Cham is sick or if I'm just being an overprotective dad.
Chameleon info:
Panther chameleon, male about a month and two weeks old. I've had him for a week and two days.
Handling: every other day, when he feels like coming out.
Feeding: he's not eating much. Seems scared of crickets (I have small Ones) and dubia roaches. He mostly eats worms. I've been giving him phoenix worms daily, super worms every other day. I use vitamins every 2 days and gut load the super worms with kale. Lately he's been eating a out 4 worms a day.
Supplements: reptical calcium without phosphorus. Also reptical herptivite multivitamin.
Watering: little dripper. I mist in the morning and have a humidifier.
Fecal description: looks normal, pooping everyday.
History: no known history.
Cage type: 18x18x36 screen.
Lighting: reptisun 5.0 UVB 13 W and daylight blue reptile bulb by zoo med,60w.
Temperature: Temps are usually at 75 ambiant. Give or take a few degrees. Overnight is a out 60. I have a digital thermother.
Humidity: between 60-70%.
Placement: cage is on the floor in a low traffic area away from vents.
I'm concerned because my little guy doesn't seem to be eating. He'll only have a few worms a day. Is this normal? He tends to put himself to bed early too. Not asleep but cuddled up on a branch.
