Accidentally ordered medium crickets instead of small, and I've seen him eat 3 the first morning after I got him, but not much since.
Cage Info:
Current Problem -not witnessing alot of eating. just looking for help with multi vitamin supplements, help with sexing/age, any input of DOs and DON'T. Thank you!
- Your Chameleon - ambilobe panther, age unknown...a couple months, supposedly male but seller was unsure, 1 week in my care
- Handling - only a few times while relocating and adding things to enclosure.
- Feeding - staple of crickets, also purchased black solder fly larve, and horn worms. I usually put 10 -15 crickets into a suspended plastic tray that the crickets can slowly end up climbing out of to free range. I do this in the morning around 7am when I leave for work after misting and lights on for an hour. I am gutloading with a blended mixture of alfalfa sprouts, papaya, orange, sweet potato, zucchini, squash, watercress, rainbow carrots, and mixed with water and unflavored gelatin which I poured into ice cube trays. I also just got repashy supergutload powder to also sprinkle on top.
- Supplements - repti-cal without d3 light dusting every feed, repti-cal with d3 light dusting every 2 weeks. And I don't have any multi vitamin supplements yet and would love some brand advice.
- Watering - I am currently hand misting using bottled water and a mister bottle. 2-3 times a day. 3 min In the morning about 20 minutes after his lights come on, a brief one in the afternoon, and another 3 min a few hours before his lights go out. Yes I have seen him drinking.
- Fecal Description - he has not been tested for parasites, his feces is firm moist, the uriates are white and creamy
- History - purchased from lll reptile
Cage Info:
- Cage Type - the reptile breeze medium starter kit enclosure. So 16×16×30 mesh.
- Lighting - right now the included zoo med domelight uvb, basking lamp combo. But ordered the 5.0uvb bar and will put the basking bulb in a clamp housing. They are located on top of the enclosure about 5-6" away from the highest surface cham can basking on, other than the top of the screen.
- Temperature - the temp sensor located under the basking bulb reads in the low 80's. And ambient is 70-high 60s F
- Humidity - I'm not sure yet, I purchased a digital hygrometer with sensing bulb used for egg incubaters...it arrives in the few days. I just maintain hand misting for now.
- Plants - Yes, a small ficus tree that comes to about 4" from the top of the enclosure, a pathos and wandering jewelry plant that are suspended from the top of the enclosure and hang at different heights.
- Placement - the cage is located in my room, on a rolling metal cabinet, surrounded by metal plant shelving. It is up against a window and Cady corner to another window.there is a fan in the center of the room. No air vents, not alot of traffic other than myself. The top of the enclosure is about 4.5'-5' from the floor.
- Location - Southern California, San diego
Current Problem -not witnessing alot of eating. just looking for help with multi vitamin supplements, help with sexing/age, any input of DOs and DON'T. Thank you!
