Chameleon Info:
◦ Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, male, I don’t know exactly the age, we didn’t get him newborn.
◦ Handling - I really only handle him when I need to clean his cage. He’s really grumpy.
◦ Feeding - crickets, waxworms, And hornworms. About 7 crickets each day, unless I feed him more horn worms. I feed him about 3 horn worms with 5 crickets, and waxworms only 4 whenever I don’t have hornworms. Always feed him at 3-5 never later, depending when I get home. We feed them greens in their cage for them to eat, and some fruit. (NO CITRUS)
◦ Supplements - I believe it’s called repti calcium without D3 3 times every week, the reptivite multivitamin once a month, and rep-cal with vitamine D3 two times a month. (If there is an issue with this please let me know!)
◦ Watering - I spray the little guy with my own spray. I’ll put reptisafe in the water just in case. I always mist in the morning when he wakes up, and when I get home, right before he eats. Recently I haven’t been with him for a while, but I have seen him drink.
◦ Fecal Description - Urate is usually a good color, but sometimes I’ll spot some yellow ones, and the poop right now is in a good shape with that gooey sack that is around it. (The poop is solid)
◦ History - Not that I know any issues he’s had. He did fall today... but then he ran all the way up. And it wasn’t a big fall. He just tipped over a cup.
Cage Info:
◦ Cage Type - Screen cage, I use the chameleon kit one (I know it’s not good) being 16x16x30.
◦ Lighting - Long UVB bulb for him, and for the basking bulb I use an ecosmart 100W. I saw it was good to use. Lights on at 6:00 AM and Lights off at 6:00 PM 12 hours for him.
◦ Temperature - Temperature for the bottom is around 75°Fwhile the basking spot is around 85°F. Lowest overnight temp ever was like 60 but that was in winter, now it’s around low 70’s. I measure these Temps with separate thermometers, one on top next to the basking spot and on at the bottom.
◦ Humidity - Usually keep it around 60, but now it’s around mid 50’s :/... Usually the spray droplets dissolve and make it more humid since the cage is closed off in some parts, and Florida weather is always humid. I use a hygrometer, that comes with one of the thermometers.
◦ Plants - Fake and live plants, mostly fake, but there are moss vines, and I believe Pothos. (Forgot the name of the plants..)
◦ Placement - It is located in my room. It’s near a vent I never turn on, but there is a AC unit near him, but it doesn’t hit him. There Are small bookshelves below it that keep the cage up, it is not close to the floor.
◦ Location - Florida.
Current Problem - His legs shake when he tries to grab on to something and I want to know how to help
I’ll include pictures of the thermostats.
