Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - male panther, 4 months old, had him for just over a month now
Handling - one or twice a week, for cleaning or to see if he fancies a roam
Feeding - hoppers + crickets every day, about 5 of each, sometimes hand fed (if he's not grumpy). 1 or 2 wax worms once a week. Gutloaded with rocket, squash, courgette (zucchini), carrot and apple.
Supplements - Calci-Dust (no D3) everyday, Nutrobal (with D3) twice a month, Exoterra multivit twice a month
Watering - home-made drip system that drips about once a minute onto leaves, plus spray him 4 or 5 times a day for about 30 secs- 1 or 2 minutes, depending on whether he enjoys the warm shower or not. I see him drink every day from the dripper or from the spray
Fecal Description - Solid but slimy brown poop and white urate, sometimes with the tip a bit orange. No parasites.
History - No history, but was healthy and active when I got him.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Glass vivarium with screen roof, 24"x18"x36"
Lighting - Arcadia vivarium canopy UV light, 24W, Arcadia ceramic reflector lamp, 160W. Lights on at 8am and off at 8pm
Temperature - Floor is 20-25C and basking spot is 25-30C. Lowest overnight temp can sometimes drop to as low as 15C (Scottish winter), but not for the whole night as I have a heater on a timer. Digital thermometer.
Humidity - Humidity levels between 60-75%. Created and maintained with dripper and misting. Digital hygrometer.
Plants - Ficus plant and plastic vines, wood branches (store bought)
Placement - Corner of my room on top of my chest of drawers. Low traffic and the top of the cage is about 6 feet from the floor
Location - Edinburgh
Current Problem - There's a small lump just in front of Jackie Chan's right eye - it's not affecting his vision or tongue aim, and it hasn't grown any larger over the past 2 days, but I'm concerned that it is perhaps a sinus problem or abcess, and wondered if anyone had any idea? I've booked him in at the vet's for later this week, but I sort of wanted a second opinion first from you guys
Any tips or problems that you see with my husbandry as well please let me know! First time owner and a bit of a worrier too.
