Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon -
The species: Ambilobe blue bar CB,
sex: told it was male and age: 12 months
How long has it been in your care? Only 6 weeksish
Handling -
How often do you handle your chameleon? We don't handle him. We have only picked him up because it seemed like something was wrong
Feeding -
What are you feeding your cham? Mostly crickets. One day gave a horn worm and a few superworms.
What amount? Seems like he was generally eatting around 10-12 crickets a day. What is the schedule? Been every other day
How are you gut-loading your feeders? Leafy greens, carrots, potatoes
Supplements -
What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? Repashy calcium plus every feeding
Watering -
What kind of watering technique do you use? He has a terrible mister he came with that sprays for a minute every hour, it isnt great so i also mist him for a couple minutes 2-3 times a day with a spray bottle. We also have also set up a dropper that drips 24 hrs on his tree
Do you see your chameleon drinking? Not recently
Fecal Description -
Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. They have been normal. Formed and brown
Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? We got the vet to test for parasites but never received a phone call back (horrible vet)
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
I just got him recently. He came with his set up which wasn't ideal. So we have since switched him to a new zoomed enclosure
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage type : zoomed all screen.
What are the dimensions?24x24x48
Lighting -
What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? Reptiglo 5.0 uvb tube. Not sure exactly on the heat bulb that it came with, looks like a day glo tight beam exo terra light.
What is your daily lighting schedule?12 hours 9am-9pm
Temperature -
What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Basking is around 90-95. Closer to the basking is low 80's .The rest of the tank is low to mid 70's. The floor does seem to get to the high 60's
Lowest overnight temp? Usually mid 60's. If it seams like it might be a cooler night I put a 50wat infrared bulb in the tank to not let the temp drop too low. How do you measure these temps? Temp gun. Mastercraft
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? Not sure the exact number. I just go by recomemded mistings.
How are you creating and maintaining these levels? I have the mister that isnt great so i also spray by hand throughout the day. As well as the dripper running What do you use to measure humidity? Nothing
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? Yes, ficus
He also has some fake vines.
Placement - Where is your cage located? In spare bedroom with 2 other reptiles
Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? Very low traffic and the farthest point away from the air vent (about 8-10ft)
At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? About 7ft
Location - Where are you geographically located? Medicine hat alberta Canada.
Current problem.
He started a shed a while ago and had problems removing the shedding around his eyes. We have been doubling our regular misting since he has been in shed but nothing has seemed to help. He has become very lethargic and just lies in the bottom of his cage in the planter. We are wondering if he is dehydrated (it's not for lack of mistings). Tonight when we picked him up he wouldn't hold on with any of his feet and just sat in our hand. We are very worried and don't know what to do
