Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Female panther, 1.5 years old aprox.
Handling - never, until vet yesterday
Feeding - Crickets? She usually eats 10 every 3 days. Not much of a schedule, mainly whenever she will eat. I dont always gutload crickets, but when i do carrots, broccli, oranges
Supplements - Reptivite with d3, twice a month. repticalcium without d3, every other feeding. herpivite twice a month.
Watering - I have a humidifier with a tube leading it into the cage. I also mist whenever i can. Usually 3-5x a day.
Fecal Description - Slightly pink and white.
History - When i got her she wasnt that friendly, and looked pregnant to me because she had a bery large belly. Since then her belly has shrunk.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - screen cage 18x18x30
Lighting - repti-glow 5% lights on 8-6
Temperature - Floor temp is 71, basking spots range from 75-85. Lowest overnight is about 68. I use a temp gun
Humidity - My humidity varies from 50-75 depending on how high i put my humidifier on. I measure with a temp gauge.
Plants - I have Two live pothos
Placement -The cage is on a wall with no vents but is in view of a window. the cage top is 5 feet from the ground.
Location - Illinois
Current Problem -I received Rose a little over two months ago today. This past weekend she was not looking good to me, her eyes were sunken and she was actually closing her eyes during the day(which i know is a tell tale sign of a sickness). So i called a vet immediatley and made an appointment. I went in yesterday morning and got a checkup and an xray. The vet prescribed me injections to give to her because she thought Rose has a mouth infection. Also, the Xray showed very low bone density so she prescribed calcium to be given orraly if she wont eat my dusted crickets. When i looked into her cage this morning she was hanging by her tail head resting on the bottom with her eyes closed. I was so scared, but when i took her out and gave her a good misting she started to be more active and open her eyes. She has a hard time holding on to branches and i never see her eat or drink. I replaced my UVB yesterday because i think that may of been a problem. What else can i do to help her? I just feel horrible seeing her suffer.
