This is ambilobe panther chameleon, when it hatched, i identify this as a male based on tail thickness, but now i confuse about this one. No small bumps seen. Its 2.5 old months now.
Is it good for chameleon room when the humidity always stay like this? Sometimes it can go for 60% but never lower. I only mist once a day & the dripper from 11pm to 3pm.. I read high humidity cause respiratory infection. But the question is how high/much?
Thanks
I ask my friend who is a doctor, human doctor not vet.. I tell her the chronology.
She said the liquid that vet inject is way too much, so the body cant hold that liquid that much then go to the lungs, so my little guy getting hard to breath then die.
i bring my little chameleon to reptile vet here ..
he diagnose that my cham got respiratory infection or trouble in digestion.
actually my chameleon have respiratory infection symptoms .. i told the doctor already .. everything .
then he give NaCl + multivitamin inject directly to the body...
i think yes, the cage dry out between misting .. but not all the water droplets dryout ..
maybe around 90% water droplets dryout then misting again ... especially mid day, i mist more often.

i do deep research about terramycin ,
the dose is 15-25mg / kg for children below 8kg.
so 1 drop of terramycin is way too much for baby chameleon.
from this case, i have two lessons :
1. dont trust to the breeder directly.
2. if chameleon got...
is it true for panther chameleon can survive at 15c to 33c as long the humidity above 60% ?
if i live in warm climate, average ambient temp between 30-32c , day and night .
