Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon - Vielded, female, 7-8 months old maybe older. How long has it been in your care?- about a month & a half.
• Handling - Yesturday was my first time in a week! She's been super cranky and i can't even put my hand in the cage near her, also she hasn't shed in forever.
• Feeding - Crickets everyday/mealworms for treats? 5-6 medium crickets a day? i feed her them at lunch time or at 1pm. I gutload with carrots , romaine lettuce, and yellow sweet pepper, anything i can find in my fridge that i read is good for them.
• Supplements -
Exo terra Calcium low phosphorus- everyday
Exo terra Calcium + D3 (No phosphorus) - twice a month.
Exo Terra Multi Vitamin with beta carotene- twice a month.
• Watering - I have a homemade dripper made out of a water bottle.? I mist about 4 times a day and wet the whole cage? Do you see your chameleon drinking? - not at all lately! so i gave her some water threw a syringe yesturday
• Fecal Description - She hasn't 'went' in a couple of days, she had a blueberry the otherday i gave her as a treat and i watched her chew it , i think thats why she hasn't been pooping might have a hard time getting it out ... so confused i thaught fruit made you pooop ahaha QUESTION: should i still feed her, or wait till she poops?
• History - My chameleon had/has MBD, i'm not sure if she's over it yet because i never got a xray of her.. To treat her i was giving her T Rex Bone Aid Liquid calcium for about 2 weeks , then she WOULD NOT let me take her out of her cage no more so i couldn't exactly give it to her.

PROBLEMS:
1st problem is she's got lack of appitite and hasn't pooped yet in about 3 days.. I think this is either because she's too fusy now because i gave her mealworms, OR because she's constipated and can't poop pretty much ever since i gave her the blueberyy, which could be why shes so cranky?? ... tell me what you's think.. ( p.s she's also looking kinda chubby.. i'm sort of woundering if maybe she mature enouph now to lay eggs??)
2nd problem; The past two days i've walked in her cage more than once and she's had her mouth open, more than once.. while she had her mouth open i took the oppertunity to check out the inside of her mouth, everythings supper pink so no sign of mouth rot (i think anyways) there wasn't realy no stringy stuff.. All she had was two tiny super lil thin almost impossible to see spit strings, i think cause her mouth was dry so when she opened it , it did that.. anyways i have no idea why she is doing this? Can someone helpp.. i thaught she might have been dehydrated, so i actually got her out of her cage lastnight, she wasn't looking good when i did, she looked pale, and had one arm just 'chilling' so i gave her a couple drops of bone aid, and some water...
Someone please heeeeeeeeeelp!!!
