I've never heard of them drinking at night...they're supposed to sleep at night.

I was reading that they'll drink at night because that's when they are alone the most

What's your light schedule? Do you have a light on at night?

No I leave them on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours

Last misting should be 45 min to an hour before lights out . I'm happy that some of the other Amazing keepers are chiming in . They will have some trick that I have not experienced they have been keepers much longer then I .

 

[kinyonga]

That's good. Just trying to figure out why it won't eat.

That's what's recommended , what's your temps and humidity ?

He has only been at his new home since Wednesday and he's shedding . Also could be a picky little boy .

Basking is 85* humidity peaks at 70-80 and lowest is 40-50

 

[Kristen Wilkins]

@Sugybooks you don't have substrate correct ?

 

[kinyonga]

Does your chameleon breath with its mouth open? Have quite a bit of bubbling in its mouth?

Perfect . I really have honk it's the shed . Can you get Hornworms , waxworks , silkworms . Something Juicy that might interest him .

No he never opens his mouth and no I don't use substrate

Oh god I hope not .

Allgood . I really think he's settling in . Plus he is shedding if you can get other feeders something nice and juicy and see if that spikes his interest .

Yes maybe try something that Juicy . Might encourage him . I'm thinking it's the shed . Keep an eye on him .make sure his basking spot on and he has several misting sessions .

For sure! I think he's been eating though. He stopped shedding around 5 it's 10 now and crickets are missing from the cage. All the crickets like to hide up top along the screen right where he can see them haha
