Hi
I bought my new male veiled chameleon a week ago and want to make sure everything i'm doing is correct.
Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon - Male, Veiled, 5 weeks old. I have had him 7 days.
• Handling - I have handled him about 3 times
• Feeding - I am feeding him on fruit flies that are dusted and have given him a couple of gut loaded crickets. Size 2. He was able to eat about 4 but I have seen him spit 1 out. He moves around his viv to eat the flies. I put about 20-30 flies in a day I think he eats about 10+
• Supplements - I have calcium powder without D3, exo terra calcium with D3 and komodo premium chameleon dusting powder
• Watering - I mist the viv 3-4 times a day, I have a dripper and waterfall. I am planning on getting a fogger to put in the waterfall resevoir. I have seen him drinking off the plastic plant leaf. I use reptisafe in the water to remove chlorine
• Fecal Description - Black, like pellets with some white
• History - I haven't seen him shed yet
Cage Info:
• Cage Type -it is 3ft by 3ft wooden sides, 2 glass panels and large vents in
• Lighting - 5.0 UVB light and red basking light. I have the uv on between 7.30-19.30 and the basking light 7.30 until 23.30
• Temperature - I have an exo terra thermometer and hygrometer and thermostat. I have 90-95 under the basking spot and 75 and the bottom of the cage. At night it drops to about 60-70
• Humidity - Humidity is between 70-85
• Plants - I am using plastic and I have 1 ficus in there
• Placement - It is 2ft off the ground, near a window but the sun doesn't come in on it in any way
• Location - uk
Current Problem - He does go to sleep sometimes during the day not for really long. He seems active the rest of the time. I want to know the best schedule for dusting as I want to get bigger as he is really little at the moment! Thanks
