Ok! Hello everyone! First off, I would like to apologize for putting this in the general discussion. I am going to ask questions regarding everything. Pretty much.
To start off, I need your guys opinion on my enclosure. I have this mesh enclosure which seems to be perfect size (though i would like to up size soon) and I clean it very often. As you can see by the pictures, I have a tub of soil (the soil is clean and fert free) with an Umbrella Plant in it. It was a plant I had sitting in the living room so I took it, cleaned it thoroughly, and changed it into the orange tub. She did happen to lay in the tub successfully and I extracted the eggs. There are fake plants in the back left and front right corners and two vines running through the cage. I have a ZooMed 50W basking spot lamp for her basking spot which reaches 85-89 degrees. She loves hanging out there. Her ambient from top to bottom goes from around 89 at the top to 74 at the bottom. I also have a ZooMed Reptisun UVB linear bulb in a hood on top of the cage. I do not remember the wattage, but I believe it is the 10.0 model. I have an automatic mister that runs perfectly. I have it set to run every hour for 12 seconds. Does this seem ok to everyone? I was thinking of getting a bigger plant for her to hide and get more water to drink. Her poops/pees have been looking very healthy up until today when her urate was completely yellow. Should I syringe her water or wait till the next defecation?
Next up is her feeding. I feed her 5-8 crickets per day Monday through Friday. Is this a good diet? I have tried giving her mango but she is not the fruity type I take it. I keep the crickets in a clean, healthy tub and feed them "cricket oats" and put a bit of carrot or apple in the tub each day. I dust the crickets every feeding with ZooMed Repti Calcium without D3. She loves them and can eat them all easily.
So that is my main setup. Please take a look at the pictures and of my Cham. I love reading posts about healthy, happy, and beautiful looking chameleons and I would love for Cleo to fall into that category. Please comment any opinions and suggestions as they will help greatly and I have funding for everything, so price is not a problem! If I forgot anything please let me know and feel free to ask! I can take more pictures! Thank you guys so much!
