Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Ambanja Panther, male, 7 months and I've had him roughly 3 weeks.
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Only when carrying him from cage to outside. I get him outside 2-3 times a week for direct sun in the AM. When outside he's on a umbrella tree so he's not being held very long.
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? Crickets, dubia, hornworms, Superworms, Phoenix worms. Anywhere between 10-12 items.
What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? I feed him everyday and Gut load with repashy superload
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule?Repashy supercal MED 5x a week, repashy supervite 2x a week.
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? I warm mist 3-4 times a day, little dripper running all day. When I mist it's typically for 5 min.
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Yellow urate and dark brown poo.
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. I've only seen him drink a few time, a couple times off his screen last week and when he's outside on his umbrella tree after I mist.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? Reptibreeze XL screen enclosure
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? Reptisun UVB & 50 watt Reptisun basking light.
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? Cage floor 70-75 middle 75-80 top/basking 80-88
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity? 50%-80% humidity. Mist 3-4 times a day
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? 2 golden pothos with vines from bottom of cage to top. 2 fake plants in back corners.
Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? I have his cage on a few milk crates in a spare room. Closed the AC vent in the room. Keep blinds up for indirect sunlight.
Location - Where are you geographically located? Sacramento, ca
Current Problem - his urate had a yellow tint and eyes seem a little sunk in. I've seen him drink a total of 4 times in 3 weeks. I understand he will drink when I'm not there but his urate is yellow ish.
I try showering him with spray hitting the wall first but he is constantly trying to climb off his plant. I've done this twice. When I mist I use hot water that I test on my hand first. He also shed on Sunday.
I'm looking into a mist king or fogger if not both. But most likely still a few weeks away from buying them.
