Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Ambilobe, Male, he is about 3 to 3 1/2 months, and weight on 3/27/10 was 5g. Got him last wednesday 3/24/10
* Handling - took him out once to weigh him
* Feeding - mantis (on there 2nd molt), crickets ( 1/8), silks (small), supers (small), horn worm (look for the small ones but damn they grow fast), and had some house flies. The Dubia Roaches i got are all too big, have them in a tub for breeding. I feed Archie 5-7 crickets and 2 supers around 9am, a silk or 2, or just 1 horn around 2pm if i'm home, then around 6 or 7pm 5-7 crickets and mix it up with silk, horn or mantis (mantis are the only thing he has hand feed so far). Gut load (mix) has orange, papaya, romaine, carrots, apple, squash, bee pollen, spriulina, collard greens, sweet potato, mustard greens, zuchini, I think that's it (wife is still kinda fussy about the mess i made lol). crix also get dry hi cal food (Ghann's)
* Supplements - *see pics*
Week1:mon-fri:calcium without d3 sat:none sun: calcium with d3
week2:mon-fri: calcium without d3 sat: none sun: multivitamin
week3:repeat week 1
week4:repeat week 2 without multivitamin.
I dust about 5 (1/8) crix in morning and evening
* Watering - Mist king, misted 5 times a day first mist is 5 min the rest are 3 min. I have seen him drink a few times, his poops are very white.
* Fecal Description - *see pics*. He has not been tested for parasites.
* History - only had him a week and not sure if this is normal, hopefully i'm getting freaked for no reason.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - *see pic*
* Lighting - Reptisun 5.0, and plant bulb (tubes) and a 50watt plant bulb on a dimmer for basking. Lights on at 8am off 9pm
* Temperature - he will just climb on the roof to the lights so i moved some branches up, i see him basking under the uvb and plant tube light around 82-84F, and down in cage at 72F. His basking spot is 80F. Lowest over night temp would be 60F. I use a digital temp and humidity gauge with probes, and Raytek mini temp gun (point and shoot for temp).
* Humidity -average of 50% humidity goes way up to like 80% when misted, i also have cool air humidifier if needed. There is black plastic on the back and 1 side of the cage to help keep it in too.
* Plants - Pothos and a Schefflera
* Placement - Cage is in corner of room it is a loft setup where i have him so one big room where we watch tv and chill. There is a AC vents on the far side of the room. The only traffic would be the dogs, and us in and out of that room now and then. Top of lil Archie's cage is about 5 feet of the ground.
* Location - Ohio, about 50 miles south of cleveland.
Current Problem - On 3/30/10 around 5:30pm Archie went down low in his Schefflera like he was gonna sleep but his eyes were open and not sleeping colors till about 7pm or later. He is darker than normal but it is around 72F where he gets. He did the same yesterday and today, around the same time. When i first got him he did not go down in a sleeping area untill 7-8pm. He seems fine during the day takes about an hr to "wake up" eats good cruses around the cage all day till about 5:30pm. Is he still getting adjusted to new home, or could this be the start to something, should i be worried, or am I jumping the gun here?
