After wanting one for years I finally got my first chameleon. I ordered him from FlChams and very pleased with the results.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Veiled, 3 to 4 months old, 1 day in my care.
Handling - I'm trying my hardest to give him his space for awhile so I just look at him a lot.
Feeding - Put 7 crickets in his cage after about an hour. Going to try and feed an hour after sun up/lights on. Flukers orange cubes for now.
Supplements - Reptical w/ D3, Reptivite, and picking up Reptical w/o D3 as soon as i can find it locally.
Watering - Hand mister 4 times today about 1 to 2 minutes, and a dripper. I have not seen him drink but I left him alone for quite some time today.
Fecal Description - Have not seen any in his cage but his shipping box had solid brown fecal matter and white urate. No testing yet.
History - He does walk around a lot and sit a lot. Seen him eat one cricket and miss another.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen 16x16x30.
Lighting - Reptisun 5.0 18", 60 wt day bulb, and a 40 wt incandescent. Going to be 6 am to 6 pm.
Temperature - From top to bottom 90F to 70F. Night 70F. Infared thermometer and cage thermometer.
Humidity - 40 to 75. Misting, dripper and live plant. Simple dial gauge.
Plants - One live schefflera, long fake vine and fake leafs.
Placement - Corner of room on table pretty low traffic watch tv for few hours only. About 5.5 feet to the top.
Location - West Ohio.
Current Problem - Had so many problems keeping humidity up above 40 before he showed up now it is fine until I shut the lights off. Any advice? Trying to cup feed but he only ate the 4 crickets that missed the cup. Any problem with this?
