Today while moving Victoria from her Screen Cage to her Glass Terrarium I noticed and whipped off a very small amount of white (milky) mucus from her right nostril about the size of a very fine grain of sand. That was all the mucus she had. None in her mouth or other nostril and has not produced anything more.
She is eating just fine and out and about as usual. Dashes right to me when I put my hand in the cages and is drinking just fine. Her droppings do not look odd but I'm new to chameleons but a veteran iguana owner. There is not odd coloring that I see that would suggest anything wrong.
Cage: Both Screen and Glass. 70% of time in her Screen.
Temp Screen: 65.7 (low) 97.4 (high) [Checked High Low Monitors]
Humidity Screen: 45% (low) 53% (high)
Temp Glass: 64.2 (low) 98.6 (high)
Humidity Glass: 48% (low) 61% (high)
Breed: Veiled
Age: 3 months
Diet: Small Crickets gutloaded with Nature Zone Total Bites All-In-One-Diet, and mealworms (Dusted every other day). She eats about 5 small crickets and 4 mealworms a day. Occasional House Fly now and then. Most of them just fly into her cage when I leave them open. She loves flies.
Water: Drippers in both cages. Hand mist glass 3 times a day. Large Screen Cage has a auto mister that does 4 times a day for 30 seconds.
Plants: Artificial Silk (no she does not attempt to eat them) and real Pothos in both cages well cleaned and maintained. Cages cleaned daily and any live food left over time period she is in which ever cage is removed and let loose out back. I don't transfer food or store anything let over.
Lights: ZooMed Reptisun 5.0 24" tube across screen in Multi-Light Unit Fixture. ZooMed 100 Watt Basking Lamp with UVA 13 hours a day for both. I also use a ZooMed True Red Glass Night Lamp that is on till 11 PM then she has total darkness till 6 AM. She sleeps just fine with the Red Lamp and is not disturbed at all by it.
No substrate used in cages to avoid any digestion problems that I have heard about. I do have a question about Moss though. Is moss acceptable? I have not heard about moss being bad or good.
Okay here are pics. Keep in mind that she has always turned a dark olive/brown with green spots when she is hunting food or about to eat something while basking in her lamp. Hench the dumb cricket that approached her. Once she is done hunting she will turn green with yellow and while backing in her lamp I like to call it Camo Mode where she is 3 shades of green.
I don't use flash when taking pictures of her but have a top notch camera.
Note Right Notril is clear and this was 4 hours later that I whipped off what was there and did not reproduce.
Droppings:
I'm sure its noting since it doesn't seem to be a presistant problem and she is very happy in her habitats. Perhaps just a normal discharge. But I'm not taking any changes and want input so I will know what to expect if things do continue.
Thanks a ton!
