Hey guys, thought we could start from this and go from there!?
Your Chameleon - Male panther, 7 months old, 1.5 months in my care
Handling - Maybe 1-2 times a week ( mostly to get from free range tree to cage)
Feeding - Apx 6-8 large crix/day plus a super every other day. Feeders gutloaded with fluckers( until I get the crack), kale, carrots, and citrus.
Supplements - Repcal calcium every day but Sun, Calcium w/d3 and herptivite every other Sun opposite of each other.
Watering - Hand mister 3-5 times/day for 4 mins each, dripper all day-off hr before lights out. I see him drink on occasion from leaves/dripper.
Fecal Description - Appear normal, usually apx 1mm of orange on urates. Not been in for vet test yet.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 2x2x4 screen cage, plus bamboo tree that he uses to escape from the cage occasionaly
Lighting - Reptisun 5.0 plus 40w basking bulb, 11 hr schedule(need to change for daylight savings switch)
Temperature - Basks at apx 86 give or take a couple degs, drops around 71-73 at night, bottom of cage usually around 73 as well. digital temp/humid gauge
Humidity - apx 40-50 percent, goes and stays around 90 after misting for maybe an hour
Plants - One large umbrella with plans for a smaller one higher up
Placement - In a corner by a near a sealed window, he basks at about my eye level but i try to not look him in the eyes, not high traffic at all
Location - Twin Cities, MN
Current Problem - This morning Izzy stayed on his umbrella plant where he sleeps until about noon( I got a little paranoid at noon so I put my hand in his cage and he walked up to his basking spot).I have never seen him stay there before. I saw him drink when I sprayed him more than once today and he also ate a few crix out of my hand. He seemed pretty normal other than his vertical selection.

. That's all The misc stuff that comes to mind...I'll try to upload a pic of the cage, but he's sleeping. Think the flash will wake him?
