Chameleon Info:

  • Your Chameleon - It is male veiled, over 4 months old, and I have him about over 3 months
  • Handling - Pretty much everyday. I am going with him outside and on his free range.
  • Feeding - I have been feeding crickets with calcium, everyday at 12 pm around 5 to 6. Lately, I have been feeding also flies. I am gut loading cucumbers, dandelion, strawberries.
  • Supplements - I am feeding clean calcium dust from vet and reptivite products with 3D vitamin
  • Watering - I am misting his cage by my hand. For 2 minutes about 10 times a day. Latelay, I have notice If I got too close with sprayer to him, he drinks from moving water from sprayer.
  • Fecal Description - No testing yet, but his poop is normal colours. Darker brown and white
  • History - Got him from local breeder

Cage Info:

  • Lighting - I am using heat lamp and UVB 5 lamp, from 8 am to 8 pm.
  • Temperature - I know there is around 40 Celsius in his basking area and the lowest area is about 25 Celsius. Temps at night ar around the same.
  • Humidity - Around 80. If I see there is droping humidity I spray his cage again.
  • Plants - Yes, I think it is Ficus (?) Dot´know english name yet
  • Placement - It is in middle of room,
  • Location - Czech republic

Current Problem -
My cham is not eating. It has come that it is time to give him 3D vitamin , I dusted crickets, and I am not sure if he has eaten them. I am throwing crickets into his cage, but I cannot say if he eats any or not.
 
This is the male that couldn't extend its tongue completely to eat...right. You also have a female that was grabbing it's own legs...right? We're the two mated by your parents?

Yes, it was. But he is using him, but not to full potencial/lenght. I have seen him only shot at five max ten centimetres.
Yes, i have.
Like my real parents? If so, yes.
 
Is the female still grabbing her own legs?
Do they have UVB lights on their cages? Does the UVB !light pass through plastic, glass or screen?
What is the calcium you give them on the insects and how often do you dust with it? Is there any phosphorous or D3or prEformed vitamin A in their supplements?
 
About female, I honestly dont know, since she started hanging out and hidinf in lowest area of her cage.
Yes, they have and I am not sure if it can. I can test it once i get home from school. The same I can send pics of my suplements.
About calcium, it is from vet or doc from what I know (my mother got it)and it is clear calcium with nothing else. It does not have a brand. I dust everyday and slightly.
Yes there is 3d vitamin
 
Is there glass or plastic or screen under the UVB lights?

How often do you dust with the vitamin D3 powder?
 
Here are some pics of Zuzka and suplements:
