Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambilobe Panther Chameloen, purchased from Liddy at Kammer. He is one of Line Drive's baby boys.
Handling - 2-3 times a week for no longer than 2-3 minutes at a time. He will take crickets from the hand without any fear.
Feeding - 1/4 -1/2" crickets from Carolina Crickets.com They are being fed Repashy bug burger, and being dusted with Repashy Superfoods calcium plus. He is eating 10-15 crickets a day.
Supplements - Repashy Superfoods Calcium Plus
Watering - Using a Exo Terra Monsoon. It is set to come on 1 hour after the lights kick on and mists for 30 seconds every 2 hours. I also have a dripper setup to slowly drip water onto the fake foliage. If we spray water right in front of him, he will drink immediately.
Fecal Description - looks kinda like bird droppings. solid black with a west white side. Never tested for anything.
History - We have had him for almost 3 weeks. He has never had a problem eating or drinking. Does not hiss or try to bite us. If we open the cage he will come to the door looking for hand fed crickets. His colors seemed a little dull, but he went through his first shedding about 3 days ago.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Zoo Med 16x16x30. Screen. Had a bigger cage, but he seemed to have trouble hunting, so we moved him into a smaller one.
Lighting - Zoo Med 75watt basking, Zoo Med 75watt nighttime moonlight, Exo Terra Repti Glo 5.0 UVB
Temperature - 90-95 F 6 inches under the basking lamp. 80-70 F throughout different places in the cage. UVA and UVB are on for 12 hours, then moonlight is on for 12 hours.
Humidity - Using Monsoon to spray 30 sec every two hours. Plus dripper slowly drips into foliage. Spraying starts 1 hour after lights come on, and stops 1 hour before lights go off and moonlight comes on. Humidity stays between 55-80 throughout the day and in various spots of his cage.
Plants - All fake plants provided by Kammers.
Placement - Cage is in our bedroom. We do not use the ceiling fan. vents are on the other side of the room. We are careful not to turn on bedroom lights once his night has started.
Location - Savannah, GA.
Current Problem - He will rub his left eye against the sticks and vines with a water droplet, and it will 'pop out' showing red and become much larger. Then after a few seconds he blinks and it pops back in. The other day we noticed an opaqueness covering his left eye. We cleaned it out with a q-tip, and it seemed to be mucus type glob. Today, he rubbed his left eye and left a drop of mucus on the limb. Then later, he rubbed his left eye really hard. It popped out and was larger than the right. After a few blinks it was bank down to its normal size, however there was another piece of mucus covering his eye, that came out easily with a moistened q-tip. We have some Tobramycin ophthalmic drops .3%, would this be useful for an eye infection?
