Cage Info:
Cage Type - screen cage all around
Lighting - UVB light during the day w/ one basking lamp. Lights off at night
Humidity - I spray the screens of the cage with warm water through out the day.
Plants - One ficus plant
Location - Inside my room. Not near the window.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Female Rudis Chameleon.
Feeding - Small crickets. She doesnt eat the medium or large sized crickets as they are too big.
Supplements - Calcium dusted on crickets
Watering - When I see that she's really thirsty, I use a spray bottle and let the drops fall near her, and she drinks. Other than that, I have an ice cup that sits on top of the cage that melts and drips slowly through out the day.
Fecal Description - shiny wet balls. Rounded.
History - No known history.
Current Problem - Lately my rudis chameleon has been displaying abnormal behavior. her normal behavior consists of staying on top of the ficus plant and climbing around actively aroudn the screens of the cage. For the past few days, she has been sleeping upside down hanging on two limbs sometimes all. She slept on the floor all night just last night. She appears weak and lazy. Usually when i try and take her from her cage, she tries to run away then eventually crawls onto my hands; but now, she just stays where she is at and doesn't even try to run away as well as try to crawl onto my hands. I don't see her eating or drinking. She's in the process of shedding, but she's shedding extremely slow. The last time she shed (about 6 months ago), she shed with ease. This time, it looks as though she's having dificulty shedding.
