Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled Cham, Male 4 to 5 months old. Looks like he is only 3 months old though, very small. How long has it been in your care?- 3 months
Handling - rarely
Feeding - Crickets smal 1/4 size, Gutloaded with dry store bought fulkers with added veggies and fruit. I place 6 to 12 in his cage daily but he is not eating.(one of the problems)
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? -I have the calcium with out D3 daily and multi viti and calcium with D3 once a month.
Watering - mist 2 to 3 times a day with a drip going all day. Do not notice him drinking (another problem)
Fecal Description - Brown with a yellowish urate (yes I know he is dehydrated again part of the problem)
Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? - no but he has a vet appointment tomorrow and plan to have him tested.
History - Previously housed with a Female Veiled which is about 1 month older than him.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 18x18x36 Screen cage from DIY
Lighting - Reptisun 5.0 CFL (newer bulb) and a low wattage basking bulb
Temperature - Cage floor is in the low 70's Basking spot 82 to 85 degrees. Night time temps drob to mid 60's. Use a Zoo Med digital to measure these temps.
Humidity - 50% to 60% use a zoo med gauge
Plants - Pathos
Placement - Cage is located in our laundry room area away from main traffic placed on top of a end table
Location - Florida, Central
Current Problem - Little man is not eating or drinking
Some back ground --- First off he is to be seen tomorrow at the Vet
He used to be housed with the Female veiled which is about a month older than he and she is doing great and growing quickly. (she has pretty much the same cage and set up as he does) ever since I moved him into his own cage, over a month ago, his appitite has gone down hill and I have honestly not seen him eat or drink for the past 4 or 5 days. I don't know if the crickets are being consumed by him or if they are hiding under the rocks of his plant. But I do know that his belly seems a little bloted so that is why I am taking him to the Vet. I think he might have some parasites and it might be the cause.
I do know that while he was in the same cage as the female he was doing great and eating so I am a bit confused because other than being by his self every thing is the same. Any suggestions would be great. You all have always been so helpful.
Sorry at work and don't have any current photos.
