Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Carpet, M, about 3mo. I've had him three days.
Handling - Haven't handled him, don't plan on handling him soon.
Feeding - Small crickets, dusted with calcium and I'll give him multivitamins and calcium with d3 every two weeks. Crickets eat water gel, dino fuel, and the veggies change every week (this week they're eating alfalfa). I've been able to hand feed him 2-4 crickets and then I'll cup feed him several more.
Watering - Mist king goes off twice a day for three minutes (it stays too wet by bedtime if there's third misting)
I do see him drinking.
Fecal Description - Normal. Brown with white urate, little bit of yellow at the end.
History - Got him from Kevin Stanford, so we know he came from a fantastic breeder.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen, 18x18x36. Three sides covered to help humidity.
Lighting - reptisun 5.0, 60watt heat bulb.
Temperature - Basking spot is 81, lowest point is 66. I keep two analog thermometers about 1/4 of the way up and 3/4 of the way up, but I also use a digital to measure specific spots (basking spot, shady areas, how cold after misting)
Humidity - Humidity is normally sixty, spikes up after misting and gradually decreases. Analog hygrometer.
Plants - one large pothos, the rest are fakes.
Placement - In my room, moderate traffic but I've been giving him privacy. His highest point is about 4 1/2 ft high.
Location - New Mexico. Pretty dry, high altitude.
Current Problem -
After misting today, my guy started winking and squeezing his right eye.
When he did so, there seemed to be a bubble in his eye turret. Did he get some water in there?
What can I do for him?
I don't want to stress him any more than he already is, obviously, and I'm scared to death of failing this little guy.
He seems so happy the rest of the time, always truckin around and exploring. Not nearly as shy as my veiled was for the first few months.
Should his mist be finer? Should I mist him again to see if he can rinse it out, or let him get dry and see if he can manage it on his own?
