- Your Chameleon - Amibole Panther Chameleon, Male, 6-8 months. He’s been in my care for 1 month.
- Handling - Whenever he wants to (climbs onto my hand on his own for example if I’m trying to feed him) which is about every other day.
- Feeding - Crickets, and super worms. 12 Crickets a day. I feed him every day. I give the crickets lettuce, Carrots, Sweet potato, bell peppers, Broccoli. I switch it up every day.
- Supplements - I use repti calcium 3 times a week starting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then I started using Repashy Vitamin A plus once a week on Tuesday think it would help his eye (it hasn’t helped from what I can see).
- Watering - I use a very fine mister 4 times a day. Then I have a fogger that also produces water droplets everywhere. I see him drink almost everyday and if he wants to be taken out he will drink from the counter if I spray it.
- Fecal Description - the white part is white never yellowish. The rest of it looks like normal poop from other threads I’ve see about poop. He was tested for parasites a couple weeks ago and came back negative.
Cage Info:
- Cage Type - The cage is glass with a screen top. 36x 18x 36.
- Lighting - zoomed repti sun 5.0 bar light. Zoo med 50w basking spot lamp.
- Temperature - 70-92 degrees F
- Humidity - 70-85%. Repti fogger and misting. I use 2 humidity gauges I don’t know what brand.
- Plants - I have a Fiscus I don’t remember what type but I do know that two sources said it was safe to use in a chameleon habitat.
- Placement - The cage is in my room. It’s not near any vents and there’s not any high traffic. It’s 3 feet from the ground.
- Location - SLC, Utah.
Current Problem - Gary has had issues with his eye where he keeps it closed 90% of the time. He will open it but not much. I’ve taken him to the vet to see if he had parasites or early signs of MBD and he was negative for both. I’ve given him pre formed vitiam A supplements to see if that would help (it has not). Today I saw him grab his eye with his back leg and I stoped him because it was pretty aggressive. I then put his eye in water and he kept putting his eye in and out as if something were in it. He also will rub his eye on my hand and I will drop water on it then he will flush his eye out.
