Frado on friday seemed to do everything normal. was somewhat lighter color to him but then would change dark. Same saturday but headed to bed about an hour or more early, Which i hear is normal. But today He was dark most of the morning so i put him in the shower even though i have been seeing him drinking. He lightened his color for a minute while he drank and went back dark. Put him in his basking spot and he went a little lighter, than changed. Fed him a worm. Then awhile later i tried using warm water from my sprayer. He turned lighter and went down into the trees and started drinking and stayed there. I checked on him awhile later and he was asleep.. I have been using exo tera for my heat and humidity levels, but have been noticing they are very inconsistent. I went and bought a new digital one and put it in his basking spot. It was reading 65 while the exo-terra was reading 80.. So i switched bulbs from 60 W to 75 W and the basking went up to 81. From the tree moving with me changing the thermo. He woke up so i put him up under the light because he felt VERY cold. He seemed to enjoy that and stayed. For my last misting (6pm) he was back half way down the tree, facing down, dark again but still awake. Its now 7 and lights just turned off.
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Ambi panther. male. about 4 months. had him 4 days including the delivery day
* Handling - Picked him up to put him on another plant outside of his cage yesterday to change something in his cage and add a draining system, and put him in the shower today
* Feeding - Crickets and Meal worms. 2 crickets friday, one cricket plus 3 meal worms saturday, and one meal worm today. I have been feeding him as much as he will eat. I figure he is not eating as much since he is just settling in? I just have carrots and apples in the cricket bin. I am going "gut load" shopping tomorrow
* Supplements - dusted almost all of his food withOUT d3. the meal worm today HAD d3. I also have multi that will be given next week
* Watering -I am using tap water that is filtered. I spray for a couple mintues, atleast 4 times a day. totally drenching the cage. I have seen him drink quite a bit. Including in the shower today.
* Fecal Description - His droppings friday were just pure brown, kinda slimy looking. Today he had one that was quite a bit from with white tip. NO yellow
* History -
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - Screen. 18 x 18 x 36
* Lighting - I was using a 60 W till today and switched to 75 like i listed above. Also a 5.0 UVB tube.
* Temperature - well.. with my NEW thermo. His high was 81 in basking. I have a heater in my room set to keep the room at 65. NO lights are on at night.
* Humidity - The new thermo. also has the humidity gauge. Today is was measuring around 45-50 before misting, and up to 85 after.
* Plants - One Live Ficus
* Placement - In my bedroom. No open vets. top of the cage is prob and 5 feet.
* Location - UTAH
Current Problem - I am worried about him being dark so much and a little sleeping in the day. I read on hear that sometimes more light will stop them from doing so. I added an extra 60 W lamp aways back aiming towards the side to add light only and it lit it up well. I just wanna be sure everything is ok before it gets out of hand.
