Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
Current Problem - Lethargic, not wanting to move around even when softly prodded, going pale. Doesn't go pale outdoors, but it's too cold in the daytime for him to be out there. Pictures below.
I love this hoehnelii, but so far he has given me nothing but trouble care wise, even when I'm finicky trying to perfect it. I have another hoehnelii on the way and I would like to nip Oliver's issues in the bud immediately since they have sprouted up so suddenly.
EDIT: He will eat, but only when he's outdoors.
- Your Chameleon - Triocereos Hoehnelii, male, 5 months
- Handling - Once a week, if at all
- Feeding - Crickets, dubia, (freshly moulted only) mealworms, locust (rarely when accepted) all gutloaded on carrot, bee pollen, spring greens
- Supplements - Minerall, Reptivive, Arcadia Calciumpro. I followed the Chameleons UK calendar though I've been advised to switch this.
- Watering - Misting twice a day, it often rains at night so he does not get an outdoor mist unless it's a particularly dry night.
- Fecal Description - Was tested for parasites before purchase. Pretty average with white-faintly yellowed urates and small poops.
- History - Got him 3rd March.
Cage Info:
- Cage Type - Medium Reptibreeze 16″ x 16″ x 30″
- Lighting - Arcadia T5 linear uvb
- Temperature - Cage ambient is 20c, sometimes topping midday at 22-23c but not for long. Nighttime it's generally whatever we have outside in the UK, from 8c-13c most nights that I've gone out and checked.
- Humidity - Humidity daytime ambient is 40%, 90-100% outdoors at night
- Plants - Two schleffera. Lilac branches.
- Placement - Above my ball python in my bedroom (reptile room). I don't spend much time in there so he is often left undisturbed.
