panther chameleon problem

[michaelkhleb]

Ok so I have asked a couple questions before.... and heres one more... im to lazy to fill out the questionarre but lets try anyways.... I have a 15 month old panther... the problem is that he sometimes like to go to the bottom of cage and sleep or lay there... he has one spot or corner that he likes to lay in he digs through the bark and lays on the clear container...i thought maybe its hot but basking is about 85-88 which i think isnt to bad? so i dont know whats wrong... other problem is that my whole mesh cage has live plants and even a waterfall which i clean daily too keep it clean for his drinking... he drinks from it all the time... and i cant get my humidity up... maybe i put the dial in the wrong place but it reads 25% which idk how its possible... so maybe thats what is botherin him... i mist the cage and its still low.... so someone help me overall with this please and thank u ...ps he eats fine... like a beast i should say and he is healthy

id sudjest not having a waterfall, as for humidity you can use plastic to cover walls and the top of the enclosure if you wish, so the humidity doesnt all escape, misting often then should keep the humidity up....

as for sleeping on the bottom and being on the bottom, it is weird for a cham to do....

From what I have read on the forums you might have a female rather than a make if he/she is digging in a clear container. (Why is it in there?)

The second part I bolded was about the waterfall. From what I have read they normally don't drink from them but mine drinks from a dripper which I guess can be interpetted as a waterfall if it was a stream.

What color are his urates? What are his daily meals? Also, I know you said you are to lazy to fill out the questionarre but that really is the best way to get the most answers so your guy can be happy.

Good luck!

he is definitely a male... if you saw my other posts with the pics...he has such vibrant colors... hes an ambanja too... his poop is a nice solid brown with a white string attached... u know what I mean its healthy.... I actually have one of those clay waterfalls...he drinks alotttt from it i see him gulp down for couple minutes each day... he eats roughly 10-15 cricks a day sometimes dusted and give him some wax worms as a treat...
