dark colors? could she be pregnant?
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - female jacksons chameleon. about a year and a half old. i got her from fl chams and they said she was around 9-12 months old when i bought her. 6 months in my care.
Handling - only on my days off wich are saturdays and sundays.
Feeding - i am feeding her crickets everyday. i throw about 5-8 crickets in her cage per feeding. i feed her befor going to work at 3 and when i get home aroind 12pm or 1am i check if she still has crickets. normaly she has about 3-4 crickets left in her cage when i get home from work. i gutload myfeeders with oranges,letuce, carrots, apples.
Supplements - i dust my feeders with calcium plus everyfeeding.
Watering - i use the zoo med habba misting machine. i put the timer to spray every 6 hours for 30 seconds but i spray her whole cage very good everyday be for going to work. yes i see my chameleon drinking water almost everyday.
Fecal Description - i could only find one of her droppings but it was kinda dry. the dropping was about half an inch long and all of it was white except for a little bit at the end of one end of the dropping.. no my chameleon has never been tested for parasites.
History - when i got her one of her eyes were closed so i looked online about what it could be and if i could fix it my self. i also called fl chams to ask for another cham but they never returned my call so i had to fix the problom myself. i went to the store to buy some saline salution to rinse her eye. so i rinsed her eye with the saline salution, the next day her eye was about half way open. her eye didnt open more then half way for about two days so i rinsed her eye again. her eye never fully opened till this day. i didnt want to rinse her eye anymore because i didnt want her to go blind or somthing.i did put her in the same cage with a 2 year old male jacksons chameleon for about 20 mins like a month and a half ago but when i put her in she didnt move at all after she saw the male. so i gave them some privacy and put a towl over the cage and lights so they can see eachother. i waited about 20 minutes and when i went to take the towl off i saw her in the same spot just starring at the male and the male was just walking around the cage not that close to her so i assumed nothing really happend in there. but maybe somthing did happen.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - i am using the Zoo Med Reptibreeze Open Air Screen Cage. black screen. dimensions are 16"x16"x20"?
Lighting - brand:fiet, model:blacklight glow in the dark, i have a zoo med 5.0 uvb light about 5-6 inches high. What is your daily lighting schedule: i have a timer that is set from 8am to 8pm.
Temperature - cage is at 74f. floor is at71f. basking spot is at 80.3f. overnight temp drops to low 70's. i use a eco plus thermometer i got at a acuarium store.
Humidity - my thermomerer says 55% humidity. i have a live plant in her cage that keeps humidity and i also have a fogger i use once or twice a week and i mist for about a minute everyday and the zoo med misting sytem. eco plus thermometer i got at a acuarium store?
Plants - yes i have one live plant in her cage. i dont have the name of the plany but i cant post a picture. i bought it at home depot.
Placement - her cage is right next to our sliding glass door in our up stairs apt. the cage is sitting on a little table about 2 feet high.
Location - white center, seattle wa.
Current Problem - she has been a dark green color in her cage for a while now. but when i take her out she gets a beautiful light green color(somtimes). somtimes i take her out for some free rang time but doesnt change color like other times, she stays really dark green. i do have another chameleon in the same room and they are pretty close to each other but i put a few layers of more black screen on her cage so they wont see each other but i dont know if that is working. should i move her to a differant room? maybe where theres not that much movement or anyother chameleons in the same room?
she could also be pregnant. i did put her in the same cage with a 2 year old male jacksons chameleon for about 20 mins like a month and a half ago but when i put her in she didnt move at all after she saw the male. so i gave them some privacy and put a towl over the cage and lights so they can see eachother. i waited about 20 minutes and when i went to take the towl off i saw her in the same spot just starring at the male and the male was just walking around the cage not that close to her so assumed nothing really happend in there. but maybe they did so im just trying to find out whats going on with her. thanks in advance.
