Cage Info:
Cage Type - A 65 gallon full mesh cage.
Lighting - A heat lamp that lamp with the cage, and uv light that came with it as well, they have worked for the past 4 months.
Temperature - ~60 degrees at night and 70 in the day. ~85-90 degree basking area.
Humidity - ~60 % humidity, with sprayings about every 6 hours.
Plants - No live plants, fake vines.
Location - The cage is not near any form of constant air circulation.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - A ~6 month old, (assuming) male veiled chameleon, yes I believe it has the spurs on its hind legs (little nubs behind the center gripping point.)
Feeding - I have been feeding it only crickets recently, I would throw about 5 a day on average in, or refill as necessary. I gut loaded the crickets with 2 types of cricket food (store bought) before throwing them (around a day later).
Supplements - I usually dust every other batch of 24 crickets, about twice a week dusting.
Watering - I spray the chameleon about 2 to 3 times a day, and have a dripper thing hanging from the cage, which I've seen it both drinking from the tube itself and drinking from the bowl that collects it.
Fecal Description - Recent droppings are brownish, seem to be usual what i've been seeing the whole time.
History - No big differences in coloration, a little bit of black/purple/silvery coloring on the edges of its frill off it's head, and eyebrow/crest line.
Current Problem - Well, I caught him trying to crawl along the ground, luckily i noticed my heat lamp was out and saw him struggling to get off a branch to the ground, thought his claws were just stuck, I then noticed him fully on the ground and seemingly unable to pick his head up very high, and he also has a very low stance now while walking. (Holding his body lower than his leg joints). I took him out he was still a little agressive when I touched him, and temperature seems normal, and I sprayed it with some water again which it drank a little bit, but it seems to moving really weak like it's sick or has a broken bone or something. It now has trouble climbing too, but it is not weakly skinny at all and rather fat. Any ideas, anybody? Thanks.
