Hello all! Here is Charlie's info again:
Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
Chameleon Info:
- Your Chameleon Veiled chameleon, female, in my care 3 weeks, 5 months old, body is about 4 in long.
- Handling very rarely as of now. Beginning to try cup feeding to gain trust.
- Feeding 10-15 small crickets a day, usually. Her appetite seems to have decreased a little lately. Haven't tried worms yet. She had no interest in fresh produce.
- Supplements Calc w/o D3 every feeding. Multi's every two weeks.
- Watering Misting about 3-4 times a day, have a dripper as well that's on parts of the day. It has a leak right now though so we're working on figuring it out.
- Fecal Description she doesn't seem to like crickets as much right now, so her eating has decreased a little, thus her BMs have too. Also, for some reason, her urates have been yellow-tinged lately, which is strange, because there's plenty of humidity.
Cage Info:
- Cage Type Screen ZooMed Reptibreeze enclosure 16" x 16" x 30"
- Lighting 100 watt basking bulb (the 60 that the kit came with was not strong enough and the store didn't have 75. Reptisun 5.0 UVB bulb.
- Temperature Basking temp is between 80 and 85, ambient temp is between 65 and 75 (it varies based on time of day)
- Humidity Fluctuates between 50-70, sometimes a little higher, rarely a little lower. We mist multiple times a day and have a dripper running often. We have a hygrometer placed mid cage.
- Plants Pothos and fake plants, as well as a bunch of sticks and vines for climbing.
- Placement in my sister's room on a shelf, maybe 5 ft from the ceiling?
- Location - Cold, dry part of Southern California
- Current Problem - This morning when I went to spray her cage, I noticed her sitting with her head pointed slightly up. I know this is a sign of URI, but I haven't noticed any other symptoms, like mucous or wheezing. This is the first I've seen her do it. Is this enough to believe she has a URI?
