Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - I have a male veiled chameleon and he is about a month old and i have had him for 3 weeks
* Handling - I have not handled him yet, but he immediately will eat anything moving from my hand without hesitation
* Feeding -I feed him as much as he will eat which mainly consists of crickets, which i used to gut load them with carrots and lettuce but now i feed them flukers gut load. For a couple weeks i fed him around 3-4 meal worms a day and 1 wax worm a day or every other day. I am getting more meal worms today but mine always seem to die. What temperature should i keep the meal worms at? I once fed him a moth i caught and one of the beetles that the meal worms turn in to
* Supplements - I use a spray on calcium with d3 which i use once a month. I dust with reptivite without d3 multivitamin once a week and dust with calcium everyday on most of the feeders.
* Watering - I use a little dripper, which is always running and i mist daily, but i try not to mist to much because i have substrate on the bottom which i am going to get rid of as soon as he is ready to leave his cage. The lower part of the substrate is wet always but i have been draining the majority of the water lately. The humidity is around 40% daily
* Fecal Description - It is dark brownish blackish with a white tip
*
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - My cage has screen on the sides and on the top but the front back and bottom are glass
* Lighting - I use a 5.0 coiled UVB light which rests on top of his cage and he gets within 3 inches to the bulb is that to close? and i have a small heating bulb that is abotu a foot away from the cage
* Temperature - The basking spot is about 83-85 degrees and there are plenty of spots for him to get as close to or as far from the basking spot as possible. At night it gets down to the mid sixties
* Humidity - Humidity is 40% 60% after misting
* Plants - I have a live aluminum plant
* Placement - My cage is in my room. I am the only one who goes in there so during the school day he has a lot of peace and quiet and his cage is sitting on my desk which when i sit he is a little bit above my head
* Location - I live in TN
I do not understand what is wrong with gut loading with Flukers dry gut load. It says it is high in calcium and other nutrients, yet i have read several posts about how bad of a gutload it is
