Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Sydney half ambanja/half ambilobe panther chameleon. 2 years 4 months old
Handling - Probably about bi-weekly
Feeding - Crickets daily/every other day. Crickets are gutloaded with fresh fruits and veggies, which I vary (kale, strawberries, carrots, zucchini, green beans, raspberry, etc.) I use vitamin d and vitamin d plus calcium and herpavite vitamins. I rotate them. I sometimes give him hornworms for treats.
Watering - Spray in his cage with a spray bottle a few times a day.
Fecal Description - Poops look normal. White (not orange or yellow) and dark brown/black. Seems normal.
History - He's been in my care since he was only a couple months old. He's been in generally good health. He had a sperm plug once and he gets kinda cranky when he's shedding, but he seems generally healthy.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Can't remember the brand but its one of those giant mesh cages
Lighting - Exo terra 36" 5.0 5 months old but am wondering if they are failing early? Just trying to think of anything
Temperature - Approximately 70-76 ambient and 86-90 basking.
Humidity - Sorry, can't see it right now, but I know its been pretty dry in the winter here. I have been thinking of getting him a humidifer again, but they always break.
Plants - Ficus tree, pothos, and some fake stuff.
Placement - Living room.
Location - Minneapolis, Minnesota
Current Problem - Tonight he hasn't been eating or drinking. He seems very lethargic. He has just started shedding a couple of days ago, but its weird because I've only really seen scaley flakey skin on his tail, and nowhere else. He looks kinda dehydrated like his skin looks sorta sunken in and wrinkly. I have been watering him like normal but he hasn't been drinking. And usually when I put crickets in his cage he goes after them right away but he's not touching them. He's usually tired at this time of night so I don't know if he's just really tired and also upset about shedding and that's why he's not eating and drinking. But I'm just really concerned. I plan on giving him a nice sauna in the shower in the morning, but he seems to tired for it right now. Any ideas?
