Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambilobe, panther., male when we got him they told us he was 2 to 3 months old and that was november 24 2010. 10 months
Handling - 1 a month to soak some sun
Feeding - crickets and occ meal worms? average he would eat 4 now usually around six on his own? we put around 15 everyday in the morn? occ a carrot or kale or stawberries assorted leaves.
Supplements - flukers and zoo med calcuim with d3 and vitamin. once every two months
Watering - occ dripper? 1-2 a day until cage is soaked? occaisionally on his own but if i place a drip in front of him he will drink. I give him occ showers and he loves it.
Fecal Description - brown with white urate with partial orange. never been to vet.
History - We bought him at the LLL Reptile store. all up untill 3 months ago we had a cage problem and were forced to hand feed him due to crickets being able to escape his cage and he would not go for cup feeding. this was very stressful for him though he only gaped at us twice. he was only eating 1-4 crickets a day some times 5 or 6 one time 11. 3 months ago we got a brand new setup for him with new arboricola and cage. since then we have been able to free range the crickets. we are assuming he eat around 4-6 on his own but i make sure he eats at least 2-3 more when i get home.
Cage Info:New, has a slight crack down the door but i dont think its big enough to be an issue. will post pics
Cage Type - screen, 16x24x36
Lighting - Repti sun uvb , 12 on 12 off, on at 7 off at 7-8. recently lights havent been coming on all day. maybe once ever couple weeks.
Temperature - 83-85 basking 70-73 cage lowest is around 64 67
Humidity - 60. inconsistant. we have plants two plants and we mist. we dont have anything to consistantly measure.
Plants - We have two very healthy plants. One Shefflera arboricola, and one shefflera actinophylla.
Placement - on top of a dressor. no fans, no vents, and zero traffic. bottom of cage is about 4 feet off the ground.
Location - southern coastal california
Current Problem - We feel mardi is very undeveloped for his age he has only grown an inch or two since we got him...we are also worried he might have mbd. sometimes he would not move the whole day (it seemed like) but he has been active recently. our main problem is feeding and getting him to healthier conditions.
