Chameleon Info:

Your Chameleon -Panther, male, 8-9 months old, had him for about 5 months
Handling - Once or twice a week when I clean his enclosure
Feeding - I feed him mealworms, crickets, and the occasional superworm or wax worm. Gut load with various vegetables and fruit.
Supplements - Reptivite once or twice a month, calcium three times a week, calcium with d3 twice a week.
Watering - I have a mister i use, I spray his cage 3 times a day and when its raining outside i usually will spray his cage a lot. He drinks every time I spray sometimes straight from the nozzel.
Fecal Description - Normal poop, never been tested for parasites.



Cage Info:

Cage Type - Medium sized screen cage
Lighting - Have a heat bulb and a regular uvb bulb, going to get a reptisun lamp soon. I turn his uvb on at 11 and his heat bulb they go off at 4 but he is next to a window so he has light all day.
Temperature - Basking is about 80-85, lowest temp is 76. Have thermometer. In Florida it never gets very cold.
Humidity - I don't have a gauge so I'm not sure, I take his cage out onto the porch after it rains so he should be okay.
Plants - I have one big pothos
Placement - top of the cage goes up about 5 feet next to a window
Location - Plant City Florida (Near Tampa)


Current Problem - I'm not really sure what this is. Is it dried sperm? How do I help get it off? I soaked his cage and it's not dry anymore its wet and floppy I'm hopping having it wet will help work it out. It is partially in his vent still it looks like.

Yes, that is a sperm plug and it should works its way out by itself. It is not hurting him by hanging there. You can try misting it with water. I have pulled them out before, but GENTLY. They will usually come out that way or next time he poops he should get rid of it.
 
I got him from Canvas Chameleons as a Nosy Be. He is very pretty and had lots of color when he was younger too.
 
Emily, he looks great! Azul would be very happy to see how handsome his boys are looking.

I assume it is out already but just wanted to make sure :)
