My chameleon: June. Female veiled chameleon. About 3 or 4 years old. Not exactly sure. I've had her for about a year and a half.
Handling: Not very often. Maybe once or twice a week.
Feeding: Mainly crickets. Also mealworms, waxworms, praying mantisis. And some wild caught moths in the summer. Gutloaded with cricket food and drink from my local reptile store.
Suppliments: Calcium with d3 once a week. Calcium without d3 3 days a week. Vitamin and mineral once a week.
Watering: All my chameleons get misted 2 to 3 times a day for a couple minutes a day. Occasionally I see her drink but I don't normally.
Fecal description: It looked normal the last few days but she didn't go today.
History: I got June (and her mate Johnny) about a year and a half ago. I got them off craigslist when they were about 2 or 3. Their previous owner kept them in the cage together until that point. They have been seperate since that day. She has laid 3 clutches since. All with no problems. One clutch has already hatched. Every egg hatched
Another clutch will begin hatching soon.
Cage: 6x2x2. Handmade aluminum screening. Laybin at the bottom. 20 inches deep with sand and peatmoss mix.
Lighting: Within the last month I switched to a mercury bulb 40 watt I think. Before that I had a 40 watt basking light and a uvb.
Temperature: Stays about 80 to 85 at the top of cage. Bottom floor is closer to 70.
Humidity: Honestly not sure the percentage. We never have a shedding problem. Live plants and misting keeps it good I think.
Plants: She has a spider plant and a pothos. Also eats collard greens and mustard greens from the supermarket. Washed well.
Placement: I have a whole bedroom dedicated to my veileds. Cages sits on floor and is only about a foot and a half smaller than the ceiling.
Location: Belleville, Illinois
Current problem: I believe that my female is egg bound. Vets office is closed til Monday and I'm not sure she is gonna make it that long. I haven't been paying as much attention to my baby in the last month as I should have. I found out I was pregnant...blahblahblah. I s cc rewed up. I'm not even really sure whay happened but I looked in on her today and she is REALLY dehydrated. Eyes are pretty much flush with her skull and the insode of her mouth looks really white. I was able to spray some water into her mouth but I don't know how much she drank. She didn't eat today. Shes really weak too. She fell from a branch in the cage. About 5 feet above the floor. She broke a nail in the fall. And when I picked her up she didn't hold me, I held her. I love her more than anything and its killing me that she isn't doing well and I can't do anything til Monday.
