Hi people!
This is my new chameleon , he is approx. 3 months old , male...
I've had him for 3 days only , didn't handle him at all , feed him with 4 crickets a day(doesn't want more) . I usually vitaminize his food with Nekton MSA and Nekton REP...I spray his cage twice a day , but I didn't see him drink.I also tried to give him water via syringe (without needle,ofc) , but he didnt' want it.
His feces is pretty normal I guess , dark brown and white.
He is currently in a glass cage ( http://www.petsolutions.com/images/200/15566666.jpg , this one ) but only for this week until his enclosure is done.
He has an 10.0 UVB lamp ( exo terra ) and a 40 w spotlight ( JBL ) .
Temp at the spot is approx. 32 c and in the middle of the enclosure is about 25..
Humidity is about 60 - 70 % due to a high spraying rate , because I was worried if he drinks..
He has a scyndapsus plant, and a ficus and few dry branches.
Cage is in a pretty calm room , and we' re from Croatia
Here he is :

So..I have a few questions...
1.How often does he need suplements , beacuse I have heard that every meal has to be vitaminized , and on the vitamins it says 10 % of the food?
2.Does he drink , eventhough I don't see him ?I mean , if he's thirsty , he would have drank from the syringe?
3.Due to a high spraying rate, a very thin layer of water (1 mm ) was on the bottom of the cage today..And I saw him at the bottom (maybe for half an hour)( I instantly got worried, because I know they don't go to the bottom unless they feel sick ) ..But he didn't just sit on the bottom , he was walking , exploring..Now he is basking again on the branch..So i was just wondering is it normal for him to go on the bottom , is he only exploring his cage..?
Probably I worry too much , but I want everything to be perfect
Thank you very much for your replies..
