Hey everyone,
Cage Type - screen cage, 4 feet high, 1 1/2 feet wide, 2 feet long. Pothos/ fake plants combo.
Lighting - 100 watt spot heat lamp, compact UVB (i know the dangers of these bulbs I and waiting to receive a linear tube UVB bulb in the mail)
Temperature - ambient air temp is 60, basking spot is around 95, night time temp is unknown.
Humidity - 50% I use a home made dripper to maintain humidity levels.
Plants - Im using pothos and fake plants
Placement - located in my living room so its somewhat high traffic, it stands 8 feet from the floor
Location - West coast of BC
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon around one year old has been in my care for 8 months.
Handling - I rarely handle him because hes very aggressive.
Feeding - I feed him around 7 crickets a day everyday and gut load with cricket food made at a local pet store in my area.
Supplements - I dust every day with rep-cal calcium with D3 and rep-cal multi vitamin twice a month.
Watering - I use a home made dripper and mist 2 times a day
Fecal Description - urnates are white and feces are moist and brown
History - n/a
Current Problem - 2 days a go I feed my cham a few chunks of banana. 1 day ago he stopped eating and looked bloated and stopped moving around his cage and began gapping his mouth. he passed a large bowel movement that day that had look like banana with undigested crickets in it. he began moving a bit more and ate only 2 crickets but continued to gape his mouth. Im pretty sure he has URI because he has clear bubbly mucus in his mouth and the temps in my house drop pretty low at night. he is also going to sleep a lot earlier then he normally would. Im not sure what to do or how to fix it seeing as i live 2 hours away from any form of vet. i have increased his basking temp because i read this helps but what else can i do?
