Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Jackson chameleon, i got him mid September of this year
Handling - maybe once a week now so i dont stress him out
Feeding - I did have hijm on crickets but then i introduced mill worms and he wont eat crickets really. I was feeding the crickets the Flukers food and drink that the pet store recommended and i did put powder on them. but the mill worms i put powder in their little cdontainer once and they said you didnt have to do anything to feed them or anything so i listened and idk if that was smart
Supplements - tetra fauna reptocal
Watering - I have the monsson RS 400 misting 10 seconds every 4 hours to keep humidity up i havent used much hand held sprayers cuz he was drinking off leaves fine
Fecal Description - its brown and white and seems to do it normally
History - I have had a bearded dragon and snakes before in the house so i have some expereience and i researched alot before i got him and had the tank set up but i need help as i have never had a chameleon before
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Glass cage, 12x12x24 approximately its the beginner terrarium
Lighting - exo terra 150 watt bulb and lamp and a 26 watt UVB bulb the one the lady at the pet store told me to get
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? 60 degrees on bottom and 90 degrees on top and about 70-80 in the middle of thecage. Lowest overnight temp? 60 degrees F How do you measure these temps? I have two thermometers
Humidity - What are your humidity levels?50 usually and then during the night when the lamps are off they go pretty high. How are you creating and maintaining these levels? I have regular mistings and an extra mister if i need too. What do you use to measure humidity? a dual thermometer and humidity gauge
Plants - fake 2 larger ones he drinks off of
Placement - It is on a table so it is higher
Location - USA
Current Problem - He is very skinny now and his eyes are sunken in. I have not been able to get him to eat very much or very often. He is also very weak he has been staying at the bottom and acting like he cant hold his head up so he rests it against things. I got him out to make sure he wasnt dead and his grip is also very weak. I just saw him move and he is stumbling. Im not sure what to do at this point because i know chameleons are more difficult to care for but idk if its something im doing or if he is just sick. Please help! If there are more questions please ask! thanks!
