My Chameleon: Male Ambilobe Panther; 6 1/2 months old.
Handling: Usually not much maybe onceevery couple weeks so i can clean his cage. Recently everyday to apply oinment and to give liquid calcium.
Feeding: feed him every day 8-15 Crickets. Gut loading with high calcium cricket diet food, mashed up left over veggies from my fathers juiceing, and some kind of yellow jelly, which is supposed to be like water or something. I got both products from Flukers Farm.
Supplements: Dust with Rep-cal w/0 D3 every day. Rep-cal W/ D3 and Herptivite twice a month.
Watering: automatic mister: I have all the lights and the mister on a timer. When everything comes on the mister goes for 30 seconds every hour. helps keep the humidity up.
Fecal Description: solid, black with white urate. have not checked this past week.
Cage Type: Screen cage, 18x12x20
Lighting: heat lamp, and UVB lamp
Temperature: basking area is around 87. Nighttime lowest it gets is 75.
Humidity: between 40 and 50. still trying to get it up as much as possible. i had to move him out of the pool area which is making it hard to keep humidity up.
Plants: One pathos, than a bunch of fake braches wrapped with fake vines
Placement: 4 or five feet off the ground on top of a counter. No vents. I have an indoor pool, and the room never drops below 78 degrees because my mother has tropical birds living in there as well. The birds do not make a lot of noise and I put my chameleon far away from them. I had to recently move him becuase we are having work done on the pool and i though the noise would freak him out too much.
Location: Midwest
Problem:
He started shedding a couple days ago and he still has a lot of it attached to his body. i was supposed to take him to the vet, but I called and told them what was going on and they said to let him be and i reshceudled for saturday. He has stopped eating, which is actually not so unusual for him since he would stop eating right before his other sheds, and today his eyes looked sunked in and he seemd lathargic, although i did check on him only 10 mins or so after his lights came on this morning. in terms of him eating i just got the rephasy all in one stuff and wanted to see if that would intice him to eat but no luck. I tried putting him in the shower yesterday after i got home from work to try and help the shed but he really didnt like that and kept trying to run away off his tree. he would only be still while resting on my hand so i kind of just held my arm out for 5 to 10 mins. i sprayed his cage really good this morning and got the humidity up to about 70%, but i wont be home from work until 5:00 today. i have attached a picture from last night. he looked pretty much the same when i checkd on him this morning and he was still in the same spot as well. Any suggestions on what i should do when i get home would be great.
