Hi everyone,
I posted a thread a couple of days ago explaining that my Chameleon isn't 100% yet im not sure what's up with him. I found him huddled up in a corner in the morning and he was very cold and black!! When i returned later in the afternoon he seemed to have perked up but still isnt...
My gut load is fruit and veg-mainly apples, lettuce potatoes etc and no I dnt feed him anything other than locusts as he didn't seem to take to crickets.
I use nutrobal which has vitamins in it and alternate this with calcium.
My room isn't unusually cold during the night-i do leave the window...
ok thank u, you've all been really help ful :) this site is fantastic i've got to say :)
he very rarely sits under his basking lamp, just hovers around it....strange
i feel the need to turn the basking light right down in the night as i thought they needed complete darkness to sleep?? although he often sleeps even thought the room is quite lit up. so i shudnt turn the temp down so much in the night??
Thats exactly the colour he went, but no he was hiding huddled up in the corner of the tank, it tooke me ages to find him! and when i picked him up he was really cold so i held him under the lamp for a while, he was almost lifeless

Thanks guys, have filled this out as good as i cud :)
