Hi everyone! This is my first post but I have been lurking here for ages. I'm concerned for my little guy!
We moved him to his new enclosure on Tuesday and at first he seemed so excited! The past couple of days he has been acting scared of us just putting our hands in to feed him and I don't feel he moves much.
We went from a glass enclosure we bought to get him started and from what I've learned from you guys it's not the best so I upgraded once I could afford it, this is the first real plant he's had too we re potted and used coconut fiber for the soil and topped it with rocks so he can't get in there after we showered the plant for 20 mins.
Should I be worried or, am I just over concerned and just let him be?
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Veiled about 7 months old
Handling - once a week sometimes more or less
Feeding - Crickets and he'lll eat his pothos sometimes 15 crickets a day in 5's throughout. Usually give them collard greens and use green cubes for water
Supplements - repti calcium once a day on 5 crickets
Watering - Misting every hour for 15 seconds, and a dripper is going whenever I am home
Fecal Description - seems normal, I think he may be a bit dehydrated. Hasn't been tested for parasites
Cage is 24x24x48 screen from lllreptile
Lighting - 1 uvb light, unsure of brand. Heat lamp with exoterra 50 w On just before 8 am off just before 10 pm
Temperature - Basking is about 80-95 degrees Lowest overnight temp is no colder than 65 in our house.
Humidity - it's 50% right now with the misting schedule I'm still figuring out how to maintain and raise in this new cage
Plants - golden pothos
Placement - Living room, it's just me and my boyfriend so not much traffic. I would say the top of the cage is about 6 ft from the floor
Location - Utah
Thank you all in advance!
