Cage Info:
I am still pretty new to caring for a Chameleon would love an recommendations on how to improve his cage and the care I provid him. I am interested in learning anything I can to take better care of him. If you have any recommendations on something I should buy I would appreciate if you could send me a link to it. Thank you
- Your Chameleon - Male, veiled chameleon, probably about 8 mouths old, have had him for about 5 months
- Handling - Never handle, he is very shy
- Feeding - he eats about five large crickets a day and about three mill worms a day, ( just switch from mealworms to wax worms). Crickets eat Fluker’s orange cubes
- Supplements - Dust my crickets with repti calcium with D3 on Monday, Friday and Saturday. And dust them in Rep-cal multivitamins Wednesday every other week
- Watering - are used 2 drippers, one on the inside of the cage that is smaller and the other sits on top of the cage. I use a spray bottle to mist and I try to mist in the morning and whenever I get home from school. Have seen him drink
- Fecal Description - Have not looked closely at it, so I do not know. Has never been tested
Cage Info:
- Cage Type - Screen 24x24x48
- Lighting - I have a zoomed double down with a 100w heat bulb and a reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb
- Temperature - the hottest spot is about 80 and the coolest spot (the bottom of the cage) is about 70. I have a Digital thermometer and humidity reader.
- Humidity - humidity is one of the hardest things for me to keep in my cage consistent so on average is probably about 30. I just put in a humidifier in my room next to the cage hoping the humidity will go up.
- Plants - I have a ficus tree but it is pretty much dead. I am looking at getting another one
- Placement - The cage is located in the corner of my room next to a window, and there is a air vent that blows just to the left of it. It is about 6 feet off the ground.
- Location - I live in north eastern oklahoma
