hi all, ive been trying to take a look in his mouth, and it isnt too easy, i did get a quick peek the other day and it seemed fine, i didnt see any odd discoloration or anything, but once again it was quick so im unsure. his mouth isnt really sticking out anymore, ive attached some more pictures...
Thanks for the suggestions! If you wouldn't mind, a few tips on keeping humidity up would be helpful, I definitely notice it's difficult to keep high. His name is Loki!
I will try taking a look in his mouth next time I feed him, I did notice one of the crickets in the bunch was a bit larger...
Would an insect bite be something to worry about, or should it heal on its own no problem? Either way, I'm assuming I should wait it out a few days to be sure, and to see if anything changes
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Jackson's chameleon, male (I'm pretty sure), I've had him for almost a year now
Handling - He has some trouble eating when I leave food in his enclosure, so I take him out every couple of days
Feeding - I always leave calci-worms and some waxworms in his...
right now i have one dish at the bottom of the enclosure and another thats closer to the top, and yes! i'll definitely try the crickets, thank you for all of your help
thank you so much for all this information! i will look into all of this!!
ill look into getting one of those! and keeping...
thank you everyone for all the help!! i'm going out to buy a different type of food, and i'll be keeping the light off at night now! if the problems continue, i'll post again here for some further help, or go to see a vet! thank you all :D
i also got my guy from petco, and they didnt tell us how old he was. hes pretty small, about 3-4 inches id say, so i dont think hes too old. at the minute though, im more concerned about making sure hes back to eating regularly than upgrading his enclosure
i will look into getting a bigger one when he gets a bit older, but he's small at the moment so im just using the one i already had! unless i should get a bigger one now while hes still small ?
thank you for all this! i will be keeping the light off at night from now on, and ill look into that other uvb bulb. his cage is in my room, the only times im up there is at night or when i go to mist his enclosure, ive been trying my best to leave him alone as often as possible
thank you, i definitely will be checking out different foods for him! i'll be ordering a few online when i get the chance!
i'll start trying to keep that light off overnight! when i was setting up the enclosure i got a night bulb cause my house can get pretty cool at night. i can get back to...
thank you, i'll fill that out now! i sent some pictures in my last post of my cham and the enclosure, but i'll take some more
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Jackson's chameleon, male, unsure of age, and i've had him for a little over a month

thank you, i will keep that in mind and try to find another type of food that is better! i went and checked the temp, right now it is a gradient of 82°F - 73°F. at night, i believe it drops about 10 - 15 degrees, but i'm not too sure, i can double check tonight. at night when i switch the...
there’s a lot to go over here, my apologies. i got this guy a little over a month ago, and i didn’t really have many problems at first. granted, he went almost a week without eating, but i just figured that was cause the stress of the move to the new enclosure, and he ended up shedding as well...
