i figured someone would make me fill one of these out so here it goes
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Jackson (xanth) 1 year old, adopted him a week and a half ago
Handling - everyday i let him out of his cage. usually just open it and wait for him to come out. he reaches for my hand and loves sitting on my head. but its weird, he hates me wife. maybe lotion or something? i dono...
Feeding - gut loaded crickets (veggies of all sorts) i gut load them until i see what i am feeding them coming out in their poop. usually 2-3 days. I give him a small mealworm about once every two days. he really likes them. In the morning i give him a large cricket with his vitamins. then in the afternoon ill give him some smaller crickets or maybe a mealworm. he doesnt over eat. when hes full he looks me in the eyes, and then cruises back over to his basking spot. oh, and the crickets i buy from the pet store are gut loaded already, but they use some kind of dry herb looking stuff. the crickets are fatasses right from the store. but i still use veggies to help with hydration and other things obviously.
Supplements - ZooMed Repti Calcium w/d3 once every 2 weeks dusted lightly on one cricket. Rep-Cal Calcium w/out D3 every day, lightly on his breakfast.
Watering - He has a fogger and a dripper. The fogger is on all day until about 5:30, thats when i turn the over head fan on, and all the water supplys off, to dry out the cage over night. He drinks. He likes it when i put the tube near his face so he can do a keg stand, but i also see him holding his face infront of the fogger and sometimes drinking from the leaf. i count out 10-15 drops of water into his mouth when i water him.
Fecal Description - you already know the story on the turds. and no he hasnt been tested for parasites yet.
History - owned by a young kid, he had him for about 4 months before i bought the lizard off him. Was healthy looking when i got him. Not a bad setup. Kid knew what he was doing.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - cage is a screen, i think its 24x24x36? theres a ficus in there with some of those bendy branches going all over and a hightend dry area where the heat lamp points to the tip top corner of the cage, where a thermometer and humidometer (lol) are. i got it right at 80 degrees.
Lighting - lighting is a hood, Repti Sun 5.0 and a regular cone thing with a 75watt soft white for heat.
Temperature - Temp range is from 70-80. from the bottom of the cage where the moist dirt from the plant is, it is 70. his basking spot is 80-82 depending on if my fan is on, his rainforest spot opposite to the basking spot is about 70-72 depending on how moist the leaf is that i zap. lowest overnight time is gonna be around 65. i like the house cold, but my wife and lizards dont. I use an infrared heat gun to check all over and his skin temp 3-4 times a dayand zoo med analog guages around the basking spot.
Humidity - If it was any more humid in his moist side, he would be swimming. Over on that side, i dont have a guage. cuz i dont need it. Its a rainforest, dripping all the time. he loves it over there. The basking spot under the heat lamp stays right around 65% humidty. i use the zoo med analog guage for humidity.
Plants - yes the plant lives. It is a Ficus benjamina
Placement - Cage is located in my family room, where I hang out all day and study and create ideas on how to rid the world of evil by means of polymer based explosives. There is a fan right above him that i turn on periodically throughout the day to simulate some wind. it doesnt seem to phase him the slightest, but i do it anyways for the realism. his cage sits ontop of a table, and his highest point is about 5 feet off the ground.
Location - i am geographically located in the same sex relationship accepted, marijuana capitol, anti gun, liberal community of Southern California. (but i wish i was back home in AZ)
Current Problem - Salmon Egg looking orange balls around the dookie. not inside, or attached too, but around the dookie. Within the clear slimyness that comes along with the black turd and the white goo.
