Your Chameleon - Male panther chameleon 8 months old
How long has it been in your care? About 2 months
Handling - only if I have to
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? crickets mostly but he showed no interest them all week so hes liked silk worms. I saw him eat a few crickets today. Superworms and hornworms for treats. so What amount? 5-6 silks a day. What is the schedule? not been long enough for this really.
How are you gut-loading your feeders? carrots, cricket formula, cricket water with calcium,apples, romaine lettuce.Supplements - Calcium without d3 monday-friday, saturday plain crickets, sunday-alternating between heptivite and calcium with d3(showing little interest in crickets lately)
Watering -Misting and he has a little water bowl at the top of the cage that drips for about 20 mins 2 or more times a day. How often and how long to you mist? Frequently and until things are pretty wet Do you see your chameleon drinking? Yes.
Fecal Description - greyish brown and pretty mucusy looking, not very solid, appears to have mucus in it.Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Yes. As of 2 weeks ago it was negative. History -Had really smelly fecal so I took him to vet, The vet gave me Flagyl and I gave him that once daily for 7 days. Fecal looked a bit better. The test came back positive for pinworms about 3 days later. I gave him Panacur once about a month ago and then 1 more 3 weeks later. Test came back to see if 3rd dose was needed and came back negative.

Current Problem- Floyd hasnt seemed to poop in 3 weeks. I thought he was doing it somewhere in the plant and I couldnt see it but I went in and tore the cage apart and found nothing. I gave him a warm shower for 30 mins last night and a worm covered in olive oil. Still nothing. He is eating like normal, drinking, and very active. Other than not pooping he looks fine, I havent seen him trying/struggling. I have found sperm plugs a few times as well. What Should I do, there really isnt anything at all that he could swallow that would get stuck.
