MY CHAMELEON- Male Ambanja Panther Chameleon not sure age they didn’t know when I got him but Reptile store managers who breed ( wish I checked ) them say between 8-13 months old. I’ve had Rango since July 7, 2019.
HANDLING- Daily once or twice Rango likes to explore he will let me know by sitting right in front of the door while im in the room. Or he will see me an climb down from his basking spot right to the door. I try not to more than once thought some day I don’t at all even if he wants to come out. I used to put my hand in his cage for a minute long not touching anything to let him no I’m cool an one day he crawled up my an has been cool with handling ever since. It’s either that or he is trying to find shade because he crawls back into his cage by himself.
FEEDING- Dubai roaches medium to large occasionally 3-5 a day but am in the process of weening him off super worms. No cricket apartment manager will not allow . All insects gut loaded I switch up what feed them as well (carrots, cabbage, kale, spinach, collard greens)
SUPPLEMENTS- repti Calcuim without d3. Fluker’s Repta Calcium with d3 twice a month (last two days of each month) Herptivite with beta carotene twice a month (Last two days)
WATERING- I use a dripper made out of a water bottle ♂ It works. I use a pump power sprayer. The water is filtered out of the faucet through a Brita water pitcher then put into the pump sprayer which has a mist setting. I mist in the morning 30 minutes before the lights go on and 30 minutes after they go off. Also during his rainy months in Ambanja I do a afternoon shower, I try to replicate it.
FETAL DESCRIPTION- about an inch to two inches long light to dark brown, moist nothing moving with a very white tip ( I hear that’s they’re urine) usually some orange. Never tested going in for a check-up the 19th of this month.
HISTORY-NONE ♂ They didn’t give me any
Cage- screen the dimensions are Length 16” Width 16” height 30”
LIGHTNING- dual bulb zoomed, power sun 80 power sun bulb. Before I got the power sun bulb Daily light schedule 12 hours 7:30AM-7:30PM.
TEMPERATURE -Rango’s cage is 85-90 degrees (during the day) my setup allows multiple basking spots all the way from Top to bottom. I measured this with 4 temp gages from bottom to top. Over night Temp usually no lower than 68-72 degrees
HUMIDITY- I believe low 40%-55% during mid day I measure this with a Hygro-thermo temp gage/humidity gage I mist the cage 2-3 times for 5 minutes morning an night mid day ( during rainy seasons 3 minutes)
PLANTS- I do have 4 an one cabbage, one dandelion. And two I can’t identify.
PLACEMENT- Rango’s cage is located in my living room near the corner wall two feet right of my Living-room TV. There is an AC across the room about 20 feet infront of him the blows far away from him an barely ever runs. It’s just me an my girlfriend who he sees for maybe 4 hours a day of actually seeing us in the living room or kitchen. The cage stands 67” above the floor.
LOCATION- Warwick, Rhode Island I live in an apartment that is cool with caged lizards.
