Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - 4.5 ear old veiled chameleon, female in my care for 4.25 years
* Handling - Not often but my roomates take her out probably once a week. I let her climb on a pothos during the day once a week as well.
* Feeding - Feed her large crickets, 10-15 every other day, general cricket food (the yellow stuff with powder on top
* Supplements - Not sure, dusting once a week for vitamin plus calcium
* Watering - Misting 3x a day 4 minutes per time, timer with auto mister, about a gallon per 8 days
* Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites?
* History - She had a tumor on one of her eyes that has been treated, about 6 months ago
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - Screen sides, planted cage with live ficus, pothos, orchid
* Lighting - Zoo Med 100W, ceramic 100w heater, on 9 hours, heater the rest
* Temperature - Temperature is about 80 in the day, dropping to 70 at night
* Humidity - Humidity high, 80+%
* Placement - Cage is located in a glass entryway, high traffic, lots of plants to help her hide. I think it does stress her out a little bit, she has only been in this situation for 2 months, and Im moving in a month. She is on a fishtank stand, about 3 feet up. I downgraded to a smaller cage because she was falling a lot when she had her tumor. Cage is 30x30x18"
* Location - San luis obispo, CA
Current Problem - I went to coachella for the weekend, get back and she has a huge chunk of her tail out of her tail. I cant get it out of my roomates if they put her outside at all and its a bite, but dont understand how she could have gotten it in her cage. It is not a cut, it is a chunk!
Im wondering what to do, if I could jsut cover it with neosporin or something to aid her. It looks fairly clean, but im worried about dirt and stuff. I can probably wash it out a little with q-tip before applying neosporin (or something better suited). Or just let it heal naturally, I do not know. She seems to be eating normal.
