Cage Info:

* Cage Type - Its a 18x18x36 screen cage
* Lighting - For winter I have the lights on 10 hrs/day and i use a 70 watt incandescent for basking and a repti-sun 5.0 linear tube for UVB
* Temperature - The floor is 71 and the hottest spot is 89. At night the temp gets down to 68. I use a digital thermometer with a humidity gauge that records highs and lows to measure temp and humidity.
* Humidity - I usually keep humidity at 68ish sometimes ill let it go up to 75 or down to 60 just to change it up. He is in his own room and I can control it easily by how much the door is open.
* Plants - I have a schefflera
* Location - Hes in a separate room not close to any vents. Not high traffic either.


Chameleon Info:

* Your Chameleon - 5 month male ambilobe. I have had him since he was 2 months
* Handling - I handle him maybe once or twice a week
* Feeding - He is on crickets only right now and wax worms every now and then. 6-8 crickets a day, usually feed him around 10 am. I gut load the feeders with cricketfood.com advanced blend with the spirulina and immune system booster
* Supplements - I use repcal calcium with and without D3, and herptavite. I follow the kammerflage kreations schedule for supplements. I give d3 2x a week and w/out d3 2x a week, and only give him herptavite 1x a week.
* Watering - I mist his cage 3x a day for a few minutes each time. I also have a dripper thats on most of the time. I see him drink a lot.
* Fecal Description - It looks normal. I havn't had him tested for parasites.
* History - I posted earlier about an abnormal looking bump on his neck bone https://www.chameleonforums.com/normal-17993/
* Current Problem - I have noticed that his shoulder blades stick out. Also his spine gets kinda flat and bulgy right behind his head and isn't consistent with the rest of his spine. Its really only noticeable when he has his back flat (like when he walks around casually). When he has his back arched (like when he basks and sleeps) he looks fine. He acts normal. Eats, drinks and sleeps fine. Has a good appetite. Is this a trait or could it be mbd? I also was wondering about the spirulina in the cricket gutload and what effect that could have with the supplements i give him.
