Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
Current Problem- I posted some pictures, I am not sure if his eyes look a little sunken and I am getting worried he might be dehydrated. I have a constant drip going and I’ve only seen him/her go for it a couple of times, maybe I'm just paranoid that he/she is not drinking. I just noticed his eye and he started to rub it agaisnt the branhces. I read that it might be vitamin A deficiency, im not sure what product has vitamin A. I also would like to know if kato is a female and when to start putting a lay bin in for her to lay eggs. Let me know if you guys think I should be doing something different!!

- Your Chameleon -
- Veiled Chameleon, 4-6 months old(not sure), I was told by seller male, but I know that it is hard to tell, I think he/she might be female, I know I have to get a lay bin if female, just haven’t figured it out. I've had for two weeks
- Handling -
- I handled once when he walked out onto to my hand
- Feeding -
- Crickets 10-12 a day, every morning I put 10 in a cup and sometimes i will hand feed, I've tried horn worms and superworms, but he did not eat any and did not seem interested
- I gut load with greens, veggies, oranges, apples

- Calcium w/o d3 each day
- Calcium w/ d3 once every 2 weeks
