Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Got my Veiled Cham a few months ago, I would say she is about 5-6 months old.
* Handling - I handle her about 2-3 a week.
* Feeding - I feed her Superworms, Crikets, and formerly fruitflys, but have changed to wax worms and have ordered dubia roaches after discovering this forum. I fed her as much as she could eat the first few months. Now I offer a dozen medium sized crickets, some fruit flys and a super worm or two.
* Supplements - I use Reptical with D3 and Reptivite. I dust once a week.
* Watering - Started off with a waterfall and manually spraying but the Cham wasn't getting enough water so I installed a dripper and removed the waterfall. I see her drink at least a few times a week.
* Fecal Description - Soft brown poop with what looks like normal consistency to it, urates are now white since the dropper was added. She seems to poop once a day on average that I have noticed when I spot clean during the week.
* History - Lola has always had a good attitude to being held and will perch on you in the evening and go to sleep on my shoulder or hand, though the stress of waking her up to move her back into her cage has caused me to not have her out past her bed time. Once in a while during the day she will be roaming her cage and end up on the bottom and then looks frustrated trying to climb back up turning stress colors.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - 18x18x36" repti-breeze screen cage
* Lighting - Exoterra double bulb hood top with reflector. Using two Reptisun 5.0 bulbs (compact florescent) set on a timer (9:00am-9:00pm)
* Temperature - 80 degrees F at top with a 40 watt standard bulb for heat at top (will replace with a clamp 75watt UVB basking lamp once cage is moved soon) 74 degrees F at bottom
* Humidity - 30-45%
* Plants - one Umbrella Tree
* Placement - cage is 3 feet off ground in living room, will be moved into office/pet room in a few weeks.
* Location - I live in North Texas (Fort Worth)
Current Problem - Just wanted to check with the experts as I am always wanting to improve where I can. I attached pics of her. Both are current.
