* Plants - Yes, ficus or pothos, now at the moment I use fake plant
* Placement - In living room, cage is placed on a "shelf" At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? 2m and more
* Location - Europe, Slovenia
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Veiled, male, over 2 years. How long has it been in your care? Since he was old 3 months
* Handling - Only when necessary
* Feeding - 1 midle sized dubia every other day. Gutloading with veggies.
* Supplements - Reptivite 2x/month, calcium almost every feeding...
* Watering - When he eats I give him water by pipete. 2x/day 2-3mins Do you see your chameleon drinking? Yes. And he has a dripper too, but never seen him drinking from it.
* Fecal Description - Not normal at the moment (have to take him to the vet, I think he has parasites) Urates are white with little orange.
* History - /
* Current Problem
His tail is getting "stoned" and don't know why... Some tissue already died on the tip of the tail and fell of. He uses his tail still but not as much as he did before. It doesn't seem that it hurts him when I touch him. I'm afraid he'll loose his tail.
Do you know what it could be the possible reason for this? And yes I'm gonna take him to the vet ASAP but there is no one experienced with chams in my city.
