Cage Info:
Cage Type - 68 gallon screened reptarium
Lighting - i have a super UV light from petsmart that is supposed to take care of those needs as well as 2 heat lamps. One of them is a 75 watt mall lamp the other is a 75 watt heat lamp or lamp type thing that i used to keep my goats warm in the winter. I started using the second one because I was afraid it may be to cold in there for him
Temperature - the basking area is probably low 90s and the bottom of the cage was 82 when I used a little thermometer that you use for humans. I haven't gone to walmart to see if they have any thermometers the pet store was out until tuesday
Humidity - I'm not sure about the levels, but I mist the leaves about once every hour because I'm in lubbock texas and its really dry. I also have a fogger that sits in a bowl on the top and drops a mist down into the cage.
Plants - A few fake ivy's right now and a real ivy that i just recently put in there(within 30 minutes) I am also about to put a hibiscus in there. I just saw him eat the real ivy so he is eating fine.
Location - It is on my dresser, about 3 feet off the ground. It probably gets a decent amount of air from the fan but nothing to bad I dont think.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - He is a male Veiled Chameleon. I just bought him today from a pet store who hatched them. I have seen them for sale for a while and i believe they said he is about 12 weeks old. He is about 4 inches long. He has grown alot since they first had him for sale.
Handling - The pet store never handled them so he got pretty stressed when they grabbed him out of the cage (showed off his colors and bit at the store owner.)
Feeding - I'm feeding him crickets that he has been eating since a baby. I'm not sure what they put in their food, but I bought the orange stuff to feed them. I also have some dust to dust them, but I haven't done that yet.
Supplements - They are called orange cubes. I have a mineral dust for them but its still in the car, dont remember the name. (its the only thing they had at petsmart.
Watering - I have a little waterfall set up in there as well as I mist the leaves. I have seen him drink out of the waterfall as well as licking the leaves.
Fecal Description - havent seen any yet(just got him earlier today)
History - All I know about him is that he doesn't like people that much,(is tolerable to crawling around on me but doesn't like coming out of the cage so I havent made him.
Current Problem - I'm not even sure if anything is wrong. I just bought him and now he's coughed a few times. I don't really want to take him back because I really like him. He looked coolest and had the best personality of the ones they had left.
