- Your Chameleon - Vieled chameleon, not sure how old (about 3in long not including tail, not sure if that’ll help). He was really pale green with I think was slight sunken eyes. During the day he’s a light brown- mixed green color. Looks like he’s starting to shed
- Handling - Once or twice, had him for 2 days so far
- Feeding - 5-6 crickets twice daily (morning and night). I have only seen him eat 2 crickets so far. I’m not sure if the crickets managed to get out of the cage or if he ate them. but there aren’t any in there when i get home (before feeding him for the night)
- Supplements - I use a repti-calcium once a day without D3. I have reptivite with d3. I will dust feeders with the d3 calcium twice a month, use the regular stuff for the rest of the feedings.
- Watering - I hand mist him twice a day for maybe like 30 seconds-1 minute. He has a fogger at the top of his cage that goes off in the early hours, and he also has a waterfall drinking fountain at the moment (seated at the bottom of the cage, thinking of moving it up high for him). I haven’t seen him drink yet.
- Fecal Description - Urine Im not sure about, haven’t seen him urinate. His fecal looks normal I think. Hes never been tested for parasites
- History - I got him from a pet store couple days ago
- Cage Type - Enclosure is 2’x2’x4' high, idk the depth but my arm doesn't reach to the back fully extended. It's full metal frame with screen on all sides.
- Lighting - I use Zoo-med deep dome lamp fixture , the bulb is a 75W, for basking. UVB is T5 HO UVB lighting combo kit 5.0 39W by AIICOÒ. His lights are on 12hrs a day, and off 12hrs at night.
- Temperature - At the top I think it's like 85°f, 90° at highest basking point. and the bottom is 65°-70°. At night, the lowest the temp drops is 72°. i have my A/C in my room running at all times on setting: eco temp: 76-77 on low fan
- Humidity - 40% during the day i think, (usually at work) and usually 60-70% at night. I use a fogger at night 1-6am then again at 8-8:30am right before the lights come on and then 10-10:15pm after the lights have been off for a few hours, I hand mist in the morning when i wake up and at night before the lights go off to help with the humidity. saving up to get a misting system. I also have a digital humidity gauge
- Plants - Devil’s ivy, snake plant, philodendron, and guzmania lingulata. I have a few branches and a vine, along with a rope bridge, I’m replacing the rope bridge with a branch and adding more sticks in so he has more levels to perch on, I’m hoping to add a 3’-4’ tree in there soon so he can have a sturdier climbing plant along with more trailing/wall cover plants. I use coconut fiber as the substrate at the bottom of my cage.
- Placement - His cage is next to my bedroom door and window with curtains closed at all times. There are no fans or vents near him. His enclosure is just on the floor but I’m getting him a 2’ stand.
- Location - Central Florida (between Tampa and Orlando)
