Your Chameleon - he's a Jackson chameleon he's a male I belive he's months old I bought him on june 28.
Handling - i dont really handle him much hes very shy and get stress easily so i let him in his cage
FeedinWhat feed him crickets and some roaches he dosent want to eat mealworms but I offer him atleast 4 to 5 crickets a day or atleast if he isn't full and mostly in morning and dusk. the crickets eat different food like romaine lettuce,sweet potato, carrots, and apples.
Supplements Calcium without D3 daily and once a month multivitamins with D3 Repticalium from Zoo Med.
Watering - a misting system but sometimes i spray it with a mister and yes i did saw him drink daily.
Fecal Description - its mostly brown and he does it costanlty i dont know if there is a vet that can help with chameleons in my location but if i know i will go.
History - not really my chameleon just gets high humidity at night and at day time his fogger goes off i clean it weekly.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - the cage is a air screen half glass but for now since his small but ill get him the reptibreeze XLarge.
Lighting - am using the basking bulb repti basking spit lamp from 9am to 9pm and the uvb it's Zoo Med Reptisun T5-Ho Terrarium Hood - 14", with 15 watts i dont know if i should have more watts let me know.
Temperature - i use a measure so the temp gets around 80F at night it reaches 50F and I measure it with a reptile thermometer.
Humidity - around 30 to 50 and at night around 90 I use a fogger.
Plants - I use fake plants.
Placement - it's near a counter it's somehow high.

I don’t know where you are located but there is a thread in here with a list of vets. Try looking there. I’ll see if I can find it for you.

Exotic vets do cost more than a cat and dog vet. Pricing may depend on the vet.

okay I see thank you. I don't know how will I get the money but I'll figure it out. I use a fogger during night but not the whole night like around 10 pm to 12.
