Is this normal?

[mikeduner]

I don't really know if any of these things are out of the ordinary. just being a concerned firsttime parent.
Chameleon Info:

Your Chameleon - Flic! Male Veiled Newton Bloodline from FLchams. About 2 1/2 months.
Handling - Twice ever
Feeding - Feeding crickets and tried a superworm. Apprx 5 Crix a day. 5-8 a day. Gutloading so far has been carrots, oak leaves, lettuce, strawberries raspberries and hibiscus
Supplements - Rep-cal calcium every day. Reptivite vitamin supplement once so far, to be done twice aweek.
Watering - I spray the cage three times a day with reptisafe waater I also put a cup of reptisafe water in a dripper twice a day Never seen him drink.
Fecal Description - First couple days i saw yellow in the fecals, now its healthy black/brown logs with white urate (if it matters the white is pretty thick, maybe like syrup.
History - Came to me from FLchams two weeks ago.

Cage Info:

Cage Type - Refurbished birds cage, outfitted with screen
Lighting - Using a plain basking light at about 8 inches above the cage. Using Reptisun 10.0 bulb 6 inches above the cage. Running through the screen. A member of the forum said it wouldnt be too stong and I havent caught him with shut eyes yet.
Temperature - temp high ranges from 79-85 night lows are 70ish.
Humidity - Humidity is anywhere from 39-60%. To maintain I added trash bags to two sides of the cage to keep in some moisture. Liive plants keep some in, and mistings and dripper. AQUAZAMP coming Thhursday!!!
Plants - Money Tree Plant. Pothos. A spider plant, and
Placement - Cage is 3 feet off the floor. Cage is maybe 5 feet from a A/C Heating vent, vent is shut though. In a bedroom, not alot of traffic at all besides to visit flic =)
Location - Northern Ohio on the shore of lake eerie


Current Problem - Not that its necesarilly a problem, but i just have a few observations. #1 He is still staying mostly in the back corner, time for a barrage of "Give it time!" Comments. #2 Flic can't climb on my shirt, is that normal? This may sound stupid, but is it a grip thing or IDK. #3 at 2.5 months he only eats like 5 crickets a day, After that, a cricket can climb across him and he wont turn his head. Other than these things i thought id just use this as a how am i doing thread. One more thing, his hands shake alot when he's climbing on the screen only.

Well for one I'd contact fl chams, what you've said...shaking hands and lack of grip is definitely not normal and you haven't had him very long. So contact Mike, on another note. Can you post pics of your cham and his legs as well?

today i cant post pics of him, but his joints are right as far as i can tell. I'll definitely try to get those on here asap. I hope he's ok, is he eating enough? shaking hands arent ok ever? because it is just when hes on the screen when he lifts up a leg, the foot shakes, i though it may just be him trying to find the next grip. And he climbs up everything else besides my shirt, he hangs upside down on the screen and stuff, he just cant climb my shirt

About eating enough, for babys you should feed about 10-20 a day.

For dusting shedule, Plain calcium every day, and d3 twice a month. Also multivitamin is good to do 2 times a month.
You should be using a reptisun 5.0. And also please bring the uvb closer, to about 4 inches. Uvb doesnt reach very far.
For the water, I suggest using bottled till he gets bigger, but it doesnt matter.
Does he have a heat bulb? Are his temps 79 everywhere in his cage?

Yeh the dusting is what im doing, thats right, he does have a heat bulb, and its like 84 to 78 depending on where it is in the cage.
