Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambanja/Ambilobe cross. Male. 16 months. been in my care 12 months.
Handling - Everyday/otherday
Feeding - Hornworms, silks, supers are most fed equally. Grasshoppers in the summer. Horns and silks I feed silk chow, and feed 1-2 everyday I have them in stock. Supers I gut load with Cricket care and carrots/apples. Grasshoppers are fresh from the fields w/ field grasses and clovers. He generally has a low appetite. Only eating 1-2 bugs regardless of size. per day. Maybe every other day if he is stubborn. I feed at 7am weekdays and don't see him till lights out. but can feed him during the day on weekends. He wont eat crix.
Supplements - Supers/grasshoppers the onlything I dust. Repashy no/D everyday. Repashy lo/D and Miner-All once a week every other week rotating.
Watering - 2x nozzles Mist king 8 cycles at 1-1.5 min. Hand misting n mornings and feeding time. (I squirt his mouth a little while he chews)
I have only seen him drink 2-3 times my entire time having him.
