Chameleon Info:
So I just got a baby veiled Cham ab 4 months old. I put him in his cage and gave him 10ish crickets (he ate at least two i didn’t watch him eat the rest). And he looks like he is doing fine. Except when I walk by the cage he runs away even if I just walk by and don’t go near him. He has also be a brown for 12 hours. Should I be worried or am I fine and just need to build trust with him also should I consider hand feeding in the morning?
- Your Chameleon - veild, male, 2 months, I have had him less than a day
- Handling - Not at all
- Feeding - RN he gets 6-10 crickets dusted with calcium WITH D3. Once a day between 8-10 am (depending on how early i wake up). Feeders are fed with Flucker’s cricket quencher calcium fortified and Fluker’s High Calcium diet. (I have been made aware that this is not the best an will switch over food ASAP).
- Supplements - Repti Calcium WITH D3 once a day (I have been made aware that this is not the best an will switch over food ASAP, should I change that to every other day or keep it at once a day)
- Watering - I have the Repti rain mister which mists every hour for 30 second (I was thinking of changing that to 15 seconds). No I have not seen him drink.
- Fecal Description - non yet
- History - I bought him from FLCham.com
- Cage Type - Repti breeze 16X16X30
- Lighting - (All Zoo Med) Repti basking light 50W, compact 5.0 UVB light (will be switched over to a long one once I get money) 8am - 10pm lights on
- Temperature - 75ish at the bottom and 90ish (his basking spot 6 inched from the top). overnight is around 65. two temp probes one in his basking spot one on the floor
- Humidity - 70% ish, i have a reptifogger. One of the temp probes also has a humidity monitor and i put that on the opposite side of the reptifogger
- Plants - No live plants
- Placement - he is in the main ahllway from the garage connected to my room (one of the most high traffic areas) *currenly realizing some mistakes* . The top of his cage is ab 6 feet from the floor
