Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male jackson's chameleon, approx 4mo old??, rescued from Petsmart a couple of weeks ago
Handling - Maybe a few times a week for 5-10 per time
Feeding - Feeding mostly crickets with a few mealworms
Supplements - Dust with Reptical w d3 each feeding of crickets, and nothing on the mealworms
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? Homeade dripper How often and how long to you mist? approx 4 times a day for 5 mins each Do you see your chameleon drinking? very little
Fecal Description - poop is black with mostly white urates, tip is orange. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? not yet
History - petstore rescue, and I have no idea about his age
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Exo terra 18x18x24 vivarium
Lighting - E
Temperature - Exoterra reptile 10, its a few months old so not a the level of a 10. Temps measured with a MT100 micro temp gun, and therm/hydrometer on the side basking is 82-85, floor temp is 71. Light is set on a timer to be on from 7:00 am to 6:00 PM
Humidity - Humidy holds at 50%, and goes as high as 70% when I mist which is four times a day for approx 5 mins. Also have a homemade dripper for H20 source.
Plants - I have a Live Hibiscus in the cage with various branches.
Placement - Cage sits on top of my water dragon's cage, and highest point is 6.5 ft.
Location - Located in High Point, NC
I have a couple of concerns
Trying to figure out his age? Is he well hydrated? He seems to spend 50% of his time exploring the bottom of his cage? He hides anytime I try and mist his cage, and absolutely did not like the shower treatment the other day? He is only eating one cricket or mealworm a day?
Here is a couple of pics of his habitat

Also, He drank quite a bit of water when I misted him earlier, and actually walked out on to my hand for a brief few minutes! I still have no idea of age? and why he spends a lot of time in the bottom of his cage?
