Here's the info:
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male veiled, 4.5 months, I've had him since Friday evening
Handling - About 5 minutes every day
Feeding - Small crickets -- on Saturday he ate 7 crickets and two butterworms. They had been gutloaded with apples and carrots. Yesterday he only ate one. Today he hasn't eaten any at all.
Supplements - Repcal calcium without D3 on everything every day so far, planning on with D3 and a vitamin once a week.
Watering - I have a mister from Exoterra which I really like. I only see him drinking when I directly mist him and he gets drops on his mouth. He hates being misted. He's been misted for 2 minutes every hour and a half or so.
Fecal Description - Never been tested for parasites as far as I know. His first poop was brown and white, the next day's was brown and just a bit yellow, so I've been misting more but I'm worried about that too. Today he hasn't gone.
History - None that I know of.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen 18x18x36"
Lighting - Reptisun 5.0 18" long, 100 watt basking bulb
Temperature - 80 to 90 degrees basking spot, down to 71 at the bottom of the cage. Measured with two thermometers. At night, doesn't get below 70, tested before getting him. Also I don't really tolerate the room getting below 70 very well.
Humidity - I have three live plants which helps, the cage ranges from 40% to 70% right after misting.
Plants - 1 coleus, one ficus benjamina, one pothos
Placement - It's on a table in my bedroom, the top is about four feet up. Not near any vents and it's in my bedroom, so I'm the only one who comes in here.
Location - North of Seattle
Current Problem - He ate on Saturday, the first day I had him, but Sunday he ate only one cricket and today I haven't seen him eating at all. I'm worried about dehydration too, so I have upped the mistings. He only seems to drink when droplets hit his mouth. He has crickets within reach in the cage, but he hasn't gone after them. If this keeps up he won't be getting enough calcium either...
