Your Chameleon - male ambilobe Panther, just turned 2, had him since he was 5 weeks old!
Handling - not very often...every couple weeks, when he wants to come out or shows interest in me.
Feeding - He eats every other day, usually large crickets about 7 or 8. I also get Dubia roaches & hornworms on occasion. He no longer likes Phoenix worms for some reason but does like the flies that they create. the crickets are gut loaded with the orange cube diet, but also different veggies. His appetite is still good
Supplements - i use the rep-cal herptivite multivitamins every 2 weeks, the zoo-med repti calcium without d3 for every feeding except when using other supplement, and the rep-cal phosphorus-free calcium with d3 once every other week (the week when I don't do the multi)
Watering - i use only bottle reverse osmosis water, on a monsoon rs400 automatic mister that goes about 20 times a day for about 15-30 seconds. It does get dry in between mistings. He will also drink directly from a spray bottle I have when I open his cage. If he sees the bottle and is thirsty he comes right up and I spray directly in his mouth..he loves it!
Fecal Description - his feces is dark brown, a little chunky, and urate is white
History - nit much for history. He has been amazing since the day I got him! He just had a successful shed about a week ago
Cage Info:
Cage Type - all screen cage, 2'x2'x4'
Lighting - I have a mega Ray mercury vapor lamp bulb, 100W, & a blue daylight bulb 60W. It's on a 12 hour day cycle, and 12 hour night. I did recently have to use a different brand for the UVA/UVB, which was called blue spotted and was a 100W Mercury bulb, but when it went out after just a couple months I replaced with the another mega Ray which is what I've used for a long time. Wonder if that bulb was just crap
Temperature - the cage floor is at 75, his basking area is usually about 87. Lowest overnight is 75. I have a temp gauge in the cage but also check with a temp gun on occasion.
Humidity - humidity never gets below 40%, usually around 50 or 60 after misting. The automatic mister & live plants help to maintain humidity. Plus I live in south Florida
Plants - Yes I have a pothos, and an umbrella (scheffelera). If one dies I sometimes get another kind, but always a non toxic safe plant, but these 2 kinds have been in there for a few months now.
Placement - it's located in the corner of my dining room(which we never used). Very low traffic area, no fans or vents. The entire cage is on a cabinet that's about 3 feet tall, and the top of the cage is about 2 feet from the ceiling
Location - I'm located in southeast Florida
