Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male panther, just over 1 year old.
Handling - virtually never
Feeding - Mostly crickets and roaches, sometimes flies and wild caught bugs.
Supplements - I use calcium w/o D3 at every feeding. Herptivite and D3 are given every other week.
Watering - Misting frequently throughout the day. He seems to be drinking normally.
Fecal Description - Feces are normal.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 2x3x4 screen cage.
Lighting - Repti-Glo 5.0 UV bulb, incandescent heat bulb.
Temperature - Basking spot is about 82, bottom is room temperature.
Humidity - Humidity varies from 50-70%; usually around 60%.
Plants - schefflera, pothos
Placement - Quiet bedrood
Location - Washington state.
Current Problem - My cham isn't eating much--probably only a couple small crickets a day, if that. I'm using a feeding cup so I can monitor his eating habits, but I haven't actually seen him eat in awhile (I work all day). He doesn't go after food with the same gusto that he used to and takes a long time to decide to eat anything. He isn't basking much (some days not at all) and seems to be lethargic. He's sleeping a lot during the day too. His coloration is normal and he doesn't look stressed or anything. He doesn't appear to be losing weight and I don't see any problems like bulging/sunken eyes or deformed bones, but I'm still worried there's something wrong. Any ideas?
