Your Chameleon - Female, Yemen Chameleon, not sure of age as I wasn't told when I got her. She has been with me for a 7 days.
Handling - She comes out for handling every other day and seems comfortable and calm, but I am working with getting her out more at her own pace.
Feeding - I am feeding her crickets, and waxworms as a treat. I am feeding her 5 crickets a day but I am in the process of transitioning to 5 crickets every other day. I feed her in the morning but sometimes the crickets jump out of the pot and she just finds them throughout the day. I am giving Them a mix of carrots, apple and cucumber but am going to try and add more leafy greens to their diet. I put arcadia insect fuel on the food and bug gel.
Supplements - I am using EarthPro A on most feedings and will alternate between calcium mg and revitalize d3 every other week.
Watering - I mist her enclosure about 3 times a day for 1 or 2 mins. I sometimes see her drinking after misting but I dont see her drinking of the leaves much, I have bought a dripper for them though which is in the post.
Fecal Description - this morning the feces was slightly jelly like and the urate was tinged a dark yellowy orange. I don't think she has been tested for parasites.
History - I don't really know any of her history.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Mesh enclosure 61 x 61 x 122 cm (24" x 24" x 48")
Lighting - arcadia e27 solar basking floodlight, 150W Uva and arcadia prot5 uvb, 24W, 12% UVB. I turn her lights on around 8:45 am and turn them off around 8:45 pm.
Temperature - I'm not sure what the temps are as I have ordered a thermometer but It hasn't arrived, which is worrying me.
Humidity - Humidity is usually from 50 to 70%, sometimes goes up to 80 after misting but never above that. I use a analog hygrometer to measure it.
Plants - I've got fake plants for right now but am looking into getting live plants.
Placement - The enclosure is in my bedroom, there are no fans, air vents and it isn't a high traffic area. The top of the enclosure is 194 cm from the floor.
Location - I live in the UK.
My concern is over the feces. I know that when the urate isn't white it can be a sign of dehydration so should I mist more often? Is the poo runnier because I have introduced wax worms as a treat that I give her once or twice a week? I don't have a picture as my phone wasn't with me at the time. I'm a worrier and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to help them so I thought it best to ask. Thanks in advance!
