Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - A female Veiled Chameleon, and she's only been in my care for about 5 days. As to how old, they didn't tell me. But the cage said 'Juvenile' when I got her at the pet store, so around a few months is my guess. Here are some pictures:
Handling - I've taken her out of the cage every day since I got her, and I read that handling them a lot is not good, so I've decided to stop handeling her as much as I have been. Only to take her out when I have to clean her cage or every once in a while.
Feeding - I haven't fed her yet. I was told only to feed her once a week. But I read you're supposed to feed them once a day, or something, so after I get home from school then I will get her food.
Supplements - None.
Watering - No, I do not see her drinking. But I do spray down the cage with a misting bottle full of tap water until everything is wet.
Fecal Description - She has only pooped once since I've had her, and it was white and dark brown.
History - None that I know of.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Glass with a screen top where the light bulb sits. As for the dimensions I'm not sure.
Lighting - Brand I'm unsure of, but Petco said that it was the bulb that they need that gives off the suns rays that they need, so I hope they at least got that one right! And lighting schedule, I turn the light on in the morning when I leave for school, and off when I go to bed. So from around 7 AM to 10-11 PM.
Temperature - It stays around 80 degrees Fahrenheit all day and night.
Humidity - I'm unsure, I don't have a thermometer to test this.
Plants - None, I have plastic plants.
Placement - It is on my shelf, and that is at about hip height, and I'm 5'6, so I want to say 2-3 feet off of the ground is where the cage starts. It's right by my window in my room, and I'm really the only one who goes in my room.
Location - Southern California, Tustin area.
Current Problem - I was told that Octavia might possibly have MBD. I also need to find a good vet for her, and I've tried looking. It's hard to find one! Any suggestions on a vet, maybe?
Thank you!
