I just moved my 6 month male veiled chameleon into a 24x24x48 bioactive enclosure, and he immeadietly stopped eating the day I moved him in. This has gone on about 5 days, and I’m getting very worried.
Your Chameleon - 6 month male veiled chameleon, I’ve had him since he was 3 weeks.
Handling - almost everyday, but only when he chooses to crawl onto my hand.
Feeding - i have been feeding him crickets for about 1 month, about 8-12 everyday. It put them in their before I go to school, at about 6:30am, then take them out at about 3:00 pm. I feed the crickets spinach, kale, and carrots, more recently apples also.
Supplements - i use calcium without D3 and without phosphorus, 3 times a week, and multivitamin once every month.
Watering - i spray his cage with a misting system for one minute, then drip water onto his nose. I do see him drinking fairly regularly.
Fecal Description - normal color and consistency of feces, he has never been tested for parasites.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 24x24x48 two panel glass and two panel screen combo. Bottom is glass and top is screen.
Lighting - 50 w heat bulb and uvb bulb,I got uvb 1 month ago so it’s not the problem. His cage was getting pretty cold, so I added a 75w basking bulb, the top basking spot is only 80 degrees still.
Temperature - 80 at basking spot during day, 65 at lowest point during day, about 65 all around during night. I use a digital thermometer.
Humidity - between 50-70 during the day, drops to 40 at night. I have 6 plants in his cage, use a forger, and a mister. I use hygrometer to measure.
Plants - 6 plants, 3 small tropical plants I got at reptile store (I’m not sure what kind, but the employee told me they were safe) also a pothos, ficus, and dwarf umbrella, all very young and fairly small.
Placement - cage is on the floor bweteen dresser on one side and wall on other, and is about 2 feet from my bed. There is a ceiling fan, but not very close, no other vents/ high traffic area. Cage is 4 feet up from ground.
Location - Las Vegas NV, very dry and at this time of year is about 50-60 degrees.
Current Problem - he stopped eating when I put him in his new cage. I have about 15 crickets free ranging around the cage, and try to cup feed him 10 a day, but he hasn’t eaten any.
