Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? No.
History - Dont think there's anything else.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 4x4x2 screen cage
Lighting - Repti Glo 5.0 UVB, 40 watt basking light bulb. Both lights are on a 12 hour schedule. 630 am to 630 pm
Temperature - Day varies between 75-82 degrees, night is low 70's to high 60's. not sure of the basking light temp. useing a thermometer from walmart to measure the temps.
Humidity - 30-50%, usually its around 40. the mister creates the humidity, the humidity doesnt like to stay. Useing a humidity measure thing thats on the same thing as the thermometer.
Plants - Are you using live plants? Scheflerra and a Ficus tree
Placement - Where is your cage located? In my room, next to a window. 2 1/2 feet of the ground
Location - Gilbert, Arizona
Current Problem - Rango has been acting lethargic and sleepy lately. He doesn't want to really move around. Yesterday I found him sleeping at the bottom of the cage which is unusual for him to be down there and it was also 3 o clock in the after noon, he normally goes to sleep at around 615 pm. Today, I went to check on him and he was completely passed out at the bottom of the cage just laying there - almost like he was dead. I picked him up and took him outside and misted him and it seemed to have perked him up a bit. His eyes were also really sunken in. He just seems so tired and lazy. He also is moving extremely slow and his grip is not nearly as strong as it was 1 week ago.
