Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon – Xander - Male Jackson’s Chameleon. Just under a year old. He has been in my care for about a month now.
• Handling – I handle him about twice a week
• Feeding – He gets about four – six crickets per day. I try to give him an occasional mealworm, but he will never eat them. I gutload my crickets with Rep-Cal Cricket Food (with fruit) and Fluker’s Cricket Quencher (calcium fortified)
• Supplements – I dust his crickets with Fluker’s calcium with vitamin D3 once per week. I use Rep-Cal Herptivite Multivitamins once a month. (Have only given it to him once now considering I’ve had him just a little under a month)
• Watering – I plan on ordering a MistKing system very soon. For now, I spray his cage about three times a day. I see him drinking quite often.
• Fecal Description - His droppings are a dark brown with white in them.
• History – I wasn’t told his history.
Cage Info:
• Cage Type – It’s an all screened cage. (24” x 24” x 48”)
• Lighting – I’m not sure about the brands.. I threw the boxes away /: I use a 40watt basking light and a 5.0 UVB/UVA tube-style light. They go twelve hours on and twelve hours off.
• Temperature – I have gauges set up in his cage. His cool side is about 75 degrees and his basking spot is about 80 – 85 degrees.
• Humidity – I have a hygrometer in his cage. The humidity usually stays anywhere from 50% to 70%. I have a humidifier with a hose running inside the cage. It runs in hour cycles. On for an hour and off for an hour.
• Plants – I have a Pothos plant.
• Placement – The cage is setting on the ground. The top of the cage is 4 feet from the floor.
• Location – I’m located in Illinois in the United States.
Current Problem – Well.. I have a couple of issues. I switched his feeding from letting him hunt to cup feeding. I can never tell if he has eaten or not because I can find the crickets in his cage. He will not eat out of his dish. It’s only been in there for two days though.
My second problem is his sleeping. He’s been sleeping during the day quite a bit and he’s not very active anymore. He started shedding about a week ago. All he shed was his tail though. Ever since then, his back (up towards his spine) has been a white color. I don’t know if it’s from shedding or from something else.
Please help!!
Xander's is the cage on the left. I have a thick black cloth hanging that covers the whole side of his cage so him and Zozo (my veiled) can't see each other.

I tried uploading a picture of Xander but it said I had already uploaded it in a different post. If you want to see it, it's in my post called "What is this.?"
