Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - panther chameleon , around 3 years old. I’ve had him for a year and 4 months.
Handling - i take him out once or twice a week to roam on a fake tree by the window and he loves being out of the cage and climbing on me.
Feeding - made the switch to Dubai roaches as the staple for his diet started a colony of them about 3 months ago? 2-3 medium/large roaches every other day to every 3 days. I feed them fresh vegetable and fruit scraps
Supplements - zoo med repti calcium without d3 every feeding besides the one time a month I do Rep-Cal multivitamin and Rep-Cal calcium with d3
Watering - I have an automatic misting system that sprays the cage every 3 hours for 20 seconds and I do usually see him drink from it.
Fecal Description - never been tested for parasites, most recent dropping was large but he had just eaten a larger roach. Looks normal.
History - has been super great and haven’t had any problems till just now, has never had an issue with handling or not eating or drinking
Cage Info:
Cage Type - screen cage. 18x24x34 inches
Lighting - from the hours of 8am to 9:30 pm he has zoo med tropical UVB and heat bulbs
Temperature - have a heat gun to measure the temp, basking spot is 84 cage floor is 73 night temperatures are in the 70s
Humidity - i don’t have anything to the measure humidity
Plants - I have two live plants, a large umbrella tree and a mother in laws tongue
Placement - cage is near a window but not by any ventilation
Location - austin Texas
Current Problem - I recently had an issue with my boy mikey of him not being able to open his mouth all of the way and stick out his tongue for an unknown reason, he’s now able to open his mouth a lot more and stuck his tongue farther, not fully recovered but definitely better. I was gone for the past two days with my parents watching my pets and I just got home and noticed my chameleon being very active and scratching at the door and his colors were very bright like he was perhaps stressed and I see this extreme discoloration on his back. Two years ago he got a burn on his head while someone else was caring for him that left a scar but it healed fine but now it looks like the dark scar spot has spread a lot and rapidly, he is still being super active and roaming around the cage more than he ever has and scratching at the sides, anyone have any clue what is going on?
