Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Veiled chameleon, female, 6-8 months. She's been in my care for two months.
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? I've only handled her three times since I got her.
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? I feed her eight crickets gut loaded with apples and carrots. I also feed two wax worms with all her feedings. I feed her every other day. I know this isn't the best yet, when I get paid I am getting more different feeders and a better gut load. Well looking recipes for my own.
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? Calcium without D3 every feeding, with D3 twice a month, mulitivitamins twice a month.
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? Mist her three or four times a day for one-two minutes each time.
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Brown with white urate.
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. Trying to decide whether she is gravid or if there is something different wrong with her.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? Screen cage. 2x2x4
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? 75w basking light and 5.0 UVB linear bulb. On at 7:30 and off at 9:30
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? Basking spot is always between 80-82 middle of the cage is around 75 and the bottom is at 65-70 I measure them with a temp gun
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity? 40-50, I maintain them with spraying. I measure them with a little humidity guage.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? One large ficus tree.
Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? Isn't near a fan, air vent, or high traffic area. Door is shut to the room everyday while I'm at school. Only time there is anyone in there is in the morning and after school. She's in the far corner though away from all activity. The cage is three feet off the ground.
Location - Where are you geographically located? Springfield, Illinois
Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about. I've seen her at the bottom of her cage a lot recently. She doesn't just explore down there, she sits down there. I don't think she can be gravid, she doesn't have the mustard/yellow spots and is not any bigger. Its become more frequent lately as well. I've found her at the bottom twice today already. She's also been showing brighter almost neon green colors lately. What could be wrong.?
Pictures are helpful - Getting them in a bit.
