Chameleon: Jackson, male, specific age unknown but little under a year, he's been in my care for about a month.
Handling: When needed.
Feeding: I feed him 4-5 crickets in the morning. I gut load with orange cubes and wet gutload cubes I made from a recipe online.
Supplements: Fulkers calcium with vitamin D3 and a multivitamin , I dust them every two weeks.
Watering: I hand mist and I have a dripper system. I mist 5-8 a day for about a minute. He does drink water droplets from the leaves and from the dripper.
Fecal: Brown and soft, with mostly white urate.
History: The lady I got him from specialized in reptiles, specially chameleons. She said at one point he stopped eating for a few days but the issue resolved itself after 3 days. Before I purchased him he's had several vet visits and everything seemed good.
--------
Cage: Screen 2ft by 2ft by 3ft
Lighting: I forget the brand name but I have a basking bulb and a full spectrum UVB UVA light. The basking light is a 75 watt which is rather high but I just keep it a little farther from the cage top. The UVB is also a bit from the top. I focus the heat light to one of the corners of the cage for when he needs to bask. I keep them on for about 10-12 hours a day.
Temperature: The temperature is between 75-85. The lowest overnight temp is about 60-65. I use three thermometers places in different locations outside of the cage.
Humidity: The humidity ranged from 50-80. Also a humidifier to help with the constantly changing humidity. I have a humidity gage that tells me what the humidty is at.
Plants: I have 3 lives plants in the cage. I forget the exact name for them but I used the safe plants list from this website when buying them. The top of the pot is covered with stone so he can't get the soil. (One is a spider plant, the other is a pothos i believe and I forget the name of the other.)
Placement: He is near a window and can see a road but it never gets traffic (It literally never gets traffic). At night and when it's a bit colder I close the curtains.
Locations: I am in Northeast PA
Current problem: I noticed last night around 6 pm EST that my boy had a white patch under his jaw. It started to peel back and I thought it was his start of shed. This morning when I woke up I npticed nothing had changed and that one spot was the only spot shedding. His colors seem a little dull and he's ruvbing his skin on branched a lot and I know he's due to shed. Im just confused as to what's happening.
