Chameleon Info:
Male Ambilobe Panther chameleon. DOH- 6/29/11. He has been in my care since 9/27/11.
Handling - 1-2 times per day. Usually its to get him outside in his freerange to feed him.
Feeding - 10-20 Crickets per day, usually in the morning after I wake up. I only feed him when he's on his freerange outside in the sun. I rarely let the feeders free range. I usually cupfeed or handfeed. I am planning on adding dubia roaches in the near future. He also got some baby anoles the other day. I gutload my feeders with most commonly apples, grapes, and orange cubes for hydration. I am starting to add butternut squash and zucchini into the mix.
Supplements - I currently use Repti cal w/o vitamin d3 every day. I am going to give him his D3 and multivitamin for the first time tomorrow, since he's been in my care only a little over two weeks. I am going to use Flukers Calcium w/ d3, and zoo meds Herpivite multivitamin. I am planning on ordering Repashy Calcium Plus in the coming week.
Watering - I use a spray bottle. I spray about three times per day, for around three minutes each time. I do sometimes see him drinking.
Fecal Description - They look normal to me. White, with the brown attached to it. Not watery or anything. He has never been tested for parasites. I plan on doing so next month.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Reptibreeze 68 gallon.
Lighting - Reptisun 5.0, with a 45 watt basking light. Lights go on around 10:30 AM and go off around the same time.
Temperature - 78 degrees in the day, and around 72 at night. The basking spot is about 83 degrees.
Humidity - I have not measured humidity levels, but I mist 3 times per day for about 3 minutes each time. (Enough to get everything dripping.)
Plants - I am using a Pothos and Ficus.
Placement - The cage is located in my room. There is a fan in my room which is never on. There is an air vent ABOVE the cage but none of the air hits the cage. It is not a high traffic area.
Location - I am located in Miami, Florida.
Current Problem - I noticed today that Waldo has been closing his right eye. He does not do it often, but he has done it a few times. I looked closely at his eye and did not notice any inflammation or stuck pieces of shed. (He hasn't shed since he's been with me) I am thinking of getting a saline solution if it continues or gets worse. Maybe a shower as well. I don't think he has any deficiencies, but you never know. What do you guys think?
