Hi everyone, it's been a while!
I got a wee problem and I would like an advice (or two) pretty please.
My panther chameleon Rupert is always dark. He doesn't eat much and doesn't seem to be interested in anything. He used to be bright blue, now he is nearly black most of the time. I have no idea why! He is really bright and pretty when he is asleep though. He is also bright first thing in the morning when basking, but later he just sits on the same branch all day long. He's got different level branches under his basking lamp, he never goes to the very top one. He usually gets to about 85f then goes a bit down.
He has been seen by a vet who said he seems fine. His fecal was clean.
The setup and husbandry is exactly the same with my other chameleons.. 4ft screen cage, mistking, 10% full spectrum uv on top on the screen (I think reptisun or glo), usual supplement schedule.. yada-yada..
What can it possibly be? Does he need more foliage or what? Or is it his UV lamp? I have no idea!!!
It's really breaking my heart to see him like that. Even my boyfriend is worried now.
