Any chance anyone has ever seen their Cham’s belly spikes appear to be splitting? I’ve never noticed it before, so it could have been that way all along.
Belly button maybe??
PicS below. Other pics are from today as well.
This is my form although I don’t know if I need it for this.
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Veiled, male, about 7-8 months, I’ve had him for 4 months.
* Handling -Maybe once a week if that. Mostly for cleaning purposes.
* Feeding - Cueeny he’s on a bit of a hunger strike. I’m weaning him off supers...little addict. Otherwise Maybe 2-4 crickets a day or every other day now. I think he’s still mad about the super
I also rotate a mixture of either Dubai’s, hornworms, silk worms, and Phoenix worms. These are rotated based on what I have. Crickets are gut-loaded with a rotation of sweet potato, apples, carrots, blackberries, dandelion greens, oranges, cilantro, bell peppers and zoo med cricket care cricket feed. He is also a plant eater so I give him daily greens (cilantro and dandelion greens are his favorites)
* Supplements - Rep Cal phos free no D3 calcium everyday. Rep Cal Phos free with D3 every other week, Rep Cal Herptivite every other week.
* Watering - I hand mist about 3 times a day for about 2 minutes. I use a little dripper that runs about 10 minutes, twice a day. I use tap water. I have never seen him drink.
* Fecal Description - Feces are dark brown, wet but solid, Urates are almost pure white, occasionally tiny bit of yellow. He poops twice a day at almost the same time everyday and pretty much in the same spot. Never been tested for parasites.
* History - Nothing I can think of other than this is my first Cham.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - Glass Exo Terra, screen top, 18x18x24. I am working on moving him to a larger one.
* Lighting - 12 hours on, 12 hours off. Reptisun T5 HO 5.0 UVB, 75 Watt basking bulb
* Temperature - Basking spot is about 85-87, ambient 65-70, night time temps 60-65. I have 2 digital thermometer hydrometers in cage. One by basking one in opposite bottom corner. I also use a laser temp gun.
* Humidity - Humidity during day on top of viv is 30-40, sometimes it’s reading lower when I get home from work before I most. bottom is 60-70. Spikes up briefly after misting. I use 2 hydrometers to measure this.
* Plants - he has Pothos, ficus, and an umbrella tree. He takes bites of all of them pretty regularly.
* Placement - Where is your cage located? Near a window on a dresser. About 5 feet from the ground. Fairly Low traffic area. He’s in an extra bedroom that I go in and out of, but no one else does. No other pets.
* Location - Where are you geographically located? Cleveland, Ohio USA
Current Problem - odd split in spikes on belly.
