Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - male ambilobe panther chameleon, 1.5 years old, been in my care for 8 months
Handling - handled once or twice a week but less lately
Feeding - primarily superworms, he used to happily eat crickets but about four months ago wont eat them anymore. hed go 4 days without eating before he ate a cricket. he will eat about 3 or 4 supers a day, gut loaded with a storebought oatmeal like formula( cant remeber what its called).
Supplements - multivitamin is rep cal with beta carotine, calcium is flukers with d3, dusting supers every 5 days or so.
Watering - he drinks from a waterfall, and yes i have seen him drinking. i have a monsoon mister and he is misted for 1 min once an hour.
Fecal Description - brown feces and his latest had a 1/4 inch white urate at the end of it (slight orange tint). has never been tested for parasites.
History - was a lil sleepy for a month or so, then in the past two weeks considerably downhill. he will stay still with eyes closed for a few hours after his light comes on, and generally only opens his left eye, for short periods.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 2x2x4 foot screen cage
Lighting - 75 watt basking bulb, 5.0 uvb coil style bulb. lighting schedule is 12 on 12 off, 9am to 9pm.
Temperature - basking temp is 85 to 90 degrees. daytime ambient temp 75ish. lowest overnight temp about 65 to 70 at lowest.
Humidity - after a misting humidity goes to about 75 to 80 %, but quickly drops to as low as 40% before the next misting. measured with a manual gauge.
Plants - fake plants
Placement - reasonably high traffic area, we have a small apt. so everywhere is. top of cage is 6 feet off the floor.
Location - Toronto ontario Canada
Current Problem - For the last three weeks he has been closing his eyes more and more often, hasnt eaten for at least five days and have been only active for maybe 4 hours a day. i am very concerned and i have limited reptile experience. any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. also if anyone can recommend a good vet with chameleon backround that would be great, its obvious to me that its vet time as he has never been.
