I’m new to chameleon husbandry and I researched for a really long time before deciding to get a chameleon. I decided on an ambilobe panther and felt that best fit me. I got him in august and he was born in March I made sure to get him from a reputable breeder (kamerflage kreations). His name is Gaston and I love him dearly. I have him in an 18x18x36 cage on top of a 4ft tall tv stand in my living room as we don’t have a tv in the living room and spend most our free time in the bedroom watching tv. I mist 3 times a day once at 7 am for 3 min 30 sec, 7pm for 3 min and 30 sec, and at 2 pm for 1 min and 30 sec. I also have a fogger I leave on at night to keep humidity levels up. Since his first shed for some reason he has become incredibly picky with food. I used to feed him 10-15 crickets gutloaded with greens (lettuce, green pepper, and the occasional fruit) now he won’t eat crickets at all. I started to do a mix of superworms and Dubai roaches. Dubai’s I gutload the same as the crickets. I would then do 2 superworms and 2-3 Dubia roaches. He then didn’t care for the dubia roaches. Now he won’t eat the superworms unless I hand feed them to him. I dust each with calcium no d3 for 6 days a week and on sundays I switch between calcium with d3 and a multivitamin. I only get him out to deep clean his cage once a week. I turn his lights on at 11 am and shut them off at 11 pm. I use the Arcadia 6%uvb bar and a 50 watt light from the reptile store. Humidity is around 40% during the day and 70-85% at night I live in Lincoln Nebraska. Am I doing something wrong in my husbandry I’m getting concerned
