Please help me with my problem, i am really worried about the female. I am a new chameleon owner.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Jackson, female and a male, both a few months old. Been in new cage for 2 days
Handling - Never
Feeding - Right now they are getting crickets dusted with calcium and vd3, they are getting about 10-15 small ones each.We give them some in the morning at like 9a and then the rest in the afternoon. I have the insects in a container with fruit and dusting them with calcium.
Supplements - Flukes Calcium with Vd3 and we are gonna start using herptevite. I use the Calcium w/ vd3 about 3 times a week and the herptevite once.
Watering - I spray inside the cage maybe 4-5 times a day, until the whole inside is nice and wet and i have humidity monitor. There is also a small waterfall. Yes i see the, drinking, well i did see him for sure. The first day they both were now she is blah.
Fecal Description - I havent checked their poop and no never tested for perasites.
History - I bought them from a pet store and they were captive bred.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Cage is screen all around. 26L x 12Wx 36H
Lighting - ITs a zoo med 75W heat lamp and 15w compact uvb also zoo med. Light go on at dawn (sun coming up) and are of when sun goes down.
Temperature - I have a thermometer in the cage and one to tell the temp in the room. The basking spot is about 85F and the temp in the area is usually around 75F the floor since its shaded is about 70F. The temp over night is 65-70F.
Humidity - I have a humidity monitor and it stays around 45-80%. I mist ofter but plan on getting a drip system and a automatic mister.
Plants - No, as of right now they are fake plants.
Placement - The cage in in my 18Month old sons bed room, we are almost never in there except to get clothes and for him to sleep. No one messes with them except me and my boyfriend. The cage is on my sons sold changing table, so its pretty high.
Location - We are located in Michigan USA.
Current Problem - I am a new chameleon owner, and even though we did a lot of research we still find our selves looking for more. So many websites we looked at contradict one a another that it left us more confused. We bought the two Jacksons and thought that we might breed them since so many pet stores around here are looking for chameleons. Originally we were only looking for a male but we couldnt find any chameleons any where so thats how we got the idea. Anyways, they were both fine the first day, saw them eating and drinking especially him, but since yesterday she has been weird. She doesnt really move. I sprayed in there and she didnt even move she looks like she is sleeping all the time and is like black in color. I am really worried and need help.
