Hey just wanted to see what some of you think of my Pasquale, his temperature is always around 70-76, humidity between 70%-80%, I made him a dripper which goes for roughly 6-7 hours, he's a 1 1/2 years old. He only likes crickets or horned worms (that's a treat they're expensive here) he's usually green but lately he's been a tad darker (maybe cause it's -20 celsius up here in canada but I'm not too sure) he spends his time alone and away from any house traffic and I see him for 10-20 minutes a day and pick him up once a week . His food is dusted with calcium, calcium d3 and multivitamin of course not at the same time. His food is all gutloaded with fruits and veggies, normally broccoli. Just here to take some advice or any tips for a healthier chameleon

If he was dark before these pics it could of been because he was getting close to shedding. From what I can see in the pics he looks good.

Broccoli isnt a great choice for gutloading and should genarly be avoided. Some good choices for gutloading are dandelion greens, kale, collards, endive, escarole, carrots, squash, zucchini, sweet potato, sweet red pepper, berries, apples, pears, melon etc.

Thanks for the reply, right now it's at 87, normally basks in the spot the picture was taken, he goes to the lower one sometimes and that's at 82, again he's 1 1/2 years old don't know if that's juvenile or adult, I heard older Panthers need it around 90-100
 
Of course I want him to be healthy and he is quite active but he's not much of a color showoff would that indicate anything? He's usually a nice green, like I said before since it's been getting really cold I have a heater on in the room to keep the ambient temperature at 75
