After lurking around this forum for a good while, i went ahead and got myself a baby panther chameleon from the Amazing Blue Reptiles booth at the Reptile Super Show in pomona on Jan 4th.
I had already built him a custom screen cage from dimensions mentioned on this forum. (24x24x48) Picture attached
Temp: 90-95 basking area, 70-85 ambient gradient (3 thermometers)
Humidity: Mist along with homemade dripper three times daily. 50-70%
Lighting: Reptiglow 5.0, 75w basking light-cant remember brand
Diet: small crickets dusted in repcal calcium without d3. (i have multivitamins and calcium w/ d3 to give him twice a month, but havnt done so yet as ive had him for 3 days)
plants: one live ficus, one live b. ficus, rest are fake.
Paper towel substrate.
i think hes male
could use some help!! he shows blues and reds so im not thinking its a female, but apparently its too young to tell? The lady said it was male however. ill post a pic of the tail end tomorrow.
He was very friendly right off the bat. Kind of the reason i got him. he climbed right up my hand and perched on my head
He seems to like his new home, roaming around and resting in just about every corner throughout the day.
I have seen him drink 3 times a day, with absolutely no issues.
he has flicked his tongue at 7 dusted crickets for two days in a row with absolutely no problem (this was relieving) i didnt feed him the first day.
no water bowl, no water fall, only little soil in the pots.i will cover with rocks soon.
Everything seems great! However, I CANT FIND HIS DAMN POOP!!!!!!
i looked everywhere. All his leaves, in the soil, everywhere. Im pretty darn sure he hasnt pooped.
ANY IDEAS?
