Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Male Ambiloboe 6-7months, in my house for 2 months.
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? 2 times a week to take him outside to get some sun, he hates it/me
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? Crickets, I put 10 in his cage and he may only eat 2 every other day he hasn't been eating much. I have only seen him eat a few waxworms within the last week. I have been gutloading with carrots and spinach. I have some dino fuel on order.
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? Just started on Repashy calcium plus with every feeding
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? Spray 3 times a day and use dripper 2 times a day. He LOVES water, he will come up to my sprayer and just stand in front of it letting me spray him. I am ordering a mist king tomorrow.
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? I haven't seen a poop in a little over a week. His urate was orange last time so i've been trying to step up the water sprayings.
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. Purchased from a reptile show here in az, breeder was from texas and had many reptiles, unfortunately i don't think they had much knowledge of chameleons. I bought this guy because he had the best looking colors at the time.

Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? 67 on bottom, 72 in most of the cage, basking is around 88-90. Measured with a laser heat gun and also temp gauges inside the cage
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity?40-70, guage
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? Golden Pothos & fake vines/leaves.

Location - Where are you geographically located? Phoenix Arizona
Current Problem - I'm concerned about the large white spots on his sides, he has them on both sides and I have only seen them go away once. They blend in and seem better when he is asleep. It almost seems like the spots dont change color with his mood. I am also wondering about the patches on his knees and right foot. They haven't gotten bigger but they haven't gotten smaller. He has had them for a month at least.
