Hey all so I havent seen my cham drink so I cant tel if hes dehydrated because I also havent seen him poop. Any and all help would be a great relief, thanks.
Your Chameleon - veiled, female, not sure on age, ive had her since saturday (three days)
Handling - today was the most because it was also first day she didnt hiss or puff up (ive been hand feeding her to get her used to me a bit) also tried shallow bath and such so she was in and out a bit today
Feeding - heres schedule (give or take a few crickets) gut loaded them. Saturday-10-12 med crickets-dusted
Sunday-4-8 med/large crickets and 2 super worms, added water to worms
Monday-2 super worms 3 large crickets-dusted, injected worms w/ water
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule?
Watering - Has a constant drip bottle on top, mist cage 2-3 times a day (since i havent seen her drink or poop in order to see urates I played it safe and inejcted worms w some aqua)
Fecal Description - havent seen poops yet, has ver appt on thurs as a wellness and since shes new just want to start off on right foot, ive had many repriles but no chams.
History - pet store cham kept in cage w two others, typical setup (fairly good for a pet store, worlds better than a petco but still as we all know, not as great a home as it should be)
Cage Info:
Cage Type - reptibreeze 16x16x20 (i have a 24x24x48 also just so I can have it when she gets bigger, or I feel she needs a bigger one, thats already on standby in closet) screen. Repticarpet as flooring
Lighting - flukers 25 watt (had 75 but was a bit too hot, put 75 back jn and placed over lower area so she wasnt so close to bulb) 15 watt tropical UVB t-8 bulb
Temperature - Floor is 72-75 basking is 85ish (maybe a touch high for her age which im unsure of) Lowest temp at night is 65 have temp/humidty digital meter.
Humidity - is 60% now at night a low of 50% high of 80%, mist and added a cool mist humidifier but was cumbersome next to cage so turned off and prob wont use it since misting keeps humidity in good range.
Plants - Yes a pothos and an anthurium, also some fake plastics.
Placement - cage is in bedroom, near my door has a fan in room also a small clip fan near it if I feel cage is getting too hot or just to move some air for her. aftwr building a shlelf the top of her cage is 5 1/2' off floor
Location - long island, New York
