Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? BB Panther Chameleon male, a little older than 5 months, and has been in my care for about a month
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? I only handle him when he climbs out of enclosure on his own when I'm cleaning the bottom or something. So maybe 2 or 3 days a week
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? I've been feeding my panther around 10-15 small-med sized crickets everyday gut loaded with oranges pears and potatoes and I just got silk worms yesterday and he ate 3 yesterday and two today
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? RepCal Phosphorous-free calcium with d3 every other day and Rep-Cal herptivite twice a week (as recommended by screameleons my sales site
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? I mist with warm water for about a min before I go to school, I have a dripper running while I'm gone along with the (unfortunatly
) habba mister running for 30 seconds every three hours, then I get home from practice and mist again and re fill his dripper, Yes I do see him drink.
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Normally he has a nice brown solid poop with a white urates . A couple days ago though he had some loose poop, but seemed to go back to normal after a couple days. To my knowledge he has not been tested.
