Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon -Ambilobe Panther Chameleon, Male, 8 months old. Been in my care 4 months.
Handling - Once or twice a week
Feeding - A mix of crickets, dubia roaches, and hornworms. If he eats a hornworm, i will only let him have one (they are rather large), if its crickets or roaches, he usually gets around 6-8. Feeding every other day. Gut-loading the roaches and crickets with cricket crack and a mix of potatoes, greens, apples, carrots.
Supplements - Herptivite 2x month, Calcium with vit. D3 1x a week, Calcium w/o D3 he gets every other feeding. All supplements are the Rep-Cal brand.
Watering - Dripper runs the whole day, additional mistings, around 3-4 times a day. And i do see him drink often,
Fecal Description - Not been tested for parasites, fecal matter is brown and slimy (eww) and the urate is white.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Cage is the LLLReptile kind, a 2x2x4 ft. cage, screened cage.
Lighting - A reptisun 10.0, a Westinghouse 15w 6500K light for the plants, and a regular 60 watt soft white bulb for basking.
Temperature - Basking spot is around 85 F Lowest overnight temp is 65 F And temps are measured with a Flukers digital Thermo Hygrometer.
Humidity - Humidity in the room stays around 30 %, goes up to 60% after a misting for a while. A Bemis humidifier is used in the room to increase humidity. Humidity measured on the Fluker's Thermo Hygrometer.
Plants - A large schefflera arboricola, and a golden pothos are used in the cage.
Placement - Located on a stand in my room, there is no one in the room for around 9 hours each day. No nearby vents, the only thing would be the humidifier which is blowing away from the cage. The top of the cage is at around 6 1/2 feet.
Location - Midwest, Wisconsin
Current Problem - He seems to me to be healthy, he is fairly active, doesn't stay in one spot, never sleeps during the day, eats all the food i give him. He has been getting a little chubby though, so i have cut down on the feeding a bit. The only problem is that for the most part he has very dark, mottled colorings. Nowhere near the coloring that other chameleons at his age are showing. His coloring has never really been that vibrant at all, but now they it is to the point where it looks unhealthy. Anybody have any ideas on why he is so dark?
