Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon – Male Veiled Chameleon, 5 months old. Had him for 2 months
• Handling – Almost never, had to recently to transfer him to new flexarium and he attempted to leap away from me
• Feeding – He has 10-12 veg gutloaded crickets/locust a day (with the occasional calci worm)
• Supplements – Plain calcium Mon – Fri, Calcium & D3/ Multi vit on alternating Saturdays
• Watering – MistKing set for 8am (7 mins), 1pm (5 mins), 3pm (2 mins) 6pm (5 mins)
• Fecal Description – It’s a lot harder to find in his new viv but he seems hydrated and healthy
• History – Had no issues so far, I was worried he had an R.I because he yawned when I first got him but that was just me being paranoid
• Cage Info:
• Cage Type – Screen flexarium 48x30x22 (3 sides covered with Styrofoam insulation wrapped in plastic sheeting)
• Lighting – 5% Linear UVB, 100 watt basking bulb with a thermostatted ceramic heater (very rarely used, contingency option for if basking bulb blows while I’m in work). Lights are timed 7:30am – 8:30pm
• Temperature – Basking 85-95, lowest cage temp 70. Lowest night temp 60 (I have an oil radiator thermostatted for any extreme temp drops but rarely needed. Measured with a temperature gun/numerous digital thermometers
• Humidity – Not 100% sure
• Plants – Mix of live and fake. Live plants: pothos, umbrella plant, 2 dracaena, parlour palm, coffee plant
• Placement – Located in an alcove of my bedroom which is a low traffic area (no one enters between 8am and 6pm).
• Location – South Wales in the UK
Current Problem – 9 days ago I upgraded Rango from a 3 foot modified wooden viv to a 4ft flexarium because the wood was being destroyed by the constant water/humidity. Since then he has been showing very dark colours. They have improved slightly since day 7 but he is still not showing the bright green colouration that was present when he was in his wooden viv. He still eats and actively moves around the viv. Does anyone have any suggestions of what it might be that’s stressing him out?
