Wykd, i was just a litlle confused as whether or not the uv bulb was also used for the basking.
without a bask bulb at the moment im sitting in the upper 70s. ive got the uv bulb on, but the crappy lamp that i have for the basking bulb keeps shorting out my bulbs.
I really have no idea as to...
i have been using a repti spray. its for vitamins and to prevent dehydration. is that what your speaking of? or is there something else? he seems to enjoy the showers. ill look inot supplemental vitamin a possibly?
i just successfully manually fed him 3 mealworms. he crawledinto my hand as normal and i help him and fes him three worms with some tongs. he couldnt see what he was doing but with a little help, i got him to open up and have a bite. i just kind of tugged (superlightly!!!) on his beard and he...

Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - veiled cham. 4-5 years old, this is my third day with him after rescuing him. Owner told me he was blind. (he doesnt open his eyes) if he really is blind i have no idea.
Handling - daily in order to get into shower or try to feed.
Feeding - i try to feed him...
okay this is my third day with him now. ive moved the light to about 1 foot away from the cage and only turn it on for an hour or so at a time. humity is in the low 90s and i have two water bottles set up for drip. ive gut loaded some crix n put em in there but hes still not eating. im sure hes...
google says average temp from 95-105? sound right?
its about 70 in the house right now. the cage feels to be slightly warmer than room temp so i will be leaving the light on for a while
not sure of the temp. couldnt get a temp gun. but its hot. i only turned it on for a few minutes. seemed too hot to me.
and that is just him sitting in his normal spot.
ill do the shower now. thanks for the advice
there are bumpb on the back of its heels so i am fairly certain its a male then. it seems to have perked up quite a bit. moving more frequently now after misting. still eyes closed though.
took it outside today to play on a tree.
here is a pic of the set up i have for the next few days.
went out n got a lamp, repti spray, mister, humidity checker, water treatment and some live crix n mealworms. misted the crap out of the enclosure and he seems to be drinking now. thanks for the help guys. really appreciat it.
found a cheap wire enclosure two hours a way. getting it this...
I have not seen it drinking much. when you say to give it a shower... i just kind of take it in the shower? how hot is too hot? or cool to cool?
ive set up a water bottle with a hole in the bottom for a drip system.
i also have been pouring water over all the plants and dripping some on him...
cant find anything in my area. craigslist is a bust too.
anyone in the northern Illinois area got anything for sale?
I am willing to trade a Toshiba Satellite laptop with 320gb hdd, 4gb ram, 15.6 lcd display, charger, running Win 7 64bit.
dont really have any cash to spare, but this...
I cant get a clear picture of his eyes. my camera just gets fuzzy when i do.
he doesnt seem to open them. i was told he was a perfectly healthy cham. until only a few weeks ago.
based on his movements i am convinced he is blind. he often stumbles and moves his arms in wide circles to find...
i have not seen him eat, and the owner said they had to force feed him by simply shoving food in his mouth. i really don't have a lot of money to go out and buy supplies, but i wanted to help save this animal anyways.
When you say I should get a screen enclosure, is the whole thing screen...
all i got with him is that small fish tank of an enclosure. i will have to look into lighting. the owner wanted to keep all of the original stuff, so that was all I could get
I got him like this last night. he has not eaten for me. i put a dish of dried crickets and mealworms in there. I tried feeding him by hand, but he simply wont open his mouth.
the cage looks terrible, and i dont know how to clean it out.
