So Zeus has been really dark green lately and his head has been pale. and I'm not sure why?! at night he's a little brighter. please help! also sometimes when I open the cage he'll try to get out then when I let him climb on me he goes straight for the top of my head or the nearest wall.
Chameleon Info:
Zeus- Veiled Chameleon translucent , Male, and he's about 4 months and I've had him for 3 months
Handling - I hardly handle him only when I Clean his cage.
Feeding - I feed him 10-15 MED crickets daily, and maybe 6-7 mealworms once or twice a week. I feed him every day a little after 4 when I get off of work and sometimes a little sooner on my days off. I use Repashy's bug burger for gut-loading.
Supplements - I use exo-tera calcium w/o vit. D every feeding, rep-cal calcium with Vit. D one Monday, and Rep-cal herp Vit. the next Monday.
Watering - I mist his cage 3 times a day once when i turn on his light once after feeding and once right before turning off his light
Fecal Description - poop is dark in color and somewhat moist and pee is white with very little yellow at tip
History - I've never had any problems with him in the past
Cage Info:
Cage Type - a 18x18x24 mesh cage
Lighting - I use a heat lamp with 150w bulb and a exo-tera 5.0uvb tube light
Temperature - I have 2 exo-tera thermometer/humidity gauge one next to basking area which is usually around 85-90 degrees but now with the winter months they have gone down a little. and the other maybe 6" from the bottom which is usually 70-75
Humidity - is between 45-50
Plants - I have fake vines and leaves and one live tall Plant not sure what kind I bought it from LLLreptile they told me the type but i forgot but they said it was fine for my Veiled.
Placement - the cage is about 3' off the ground and its not really a high traffic area its in my room next to the bathroom.
Location - southern California
