Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - I have a veiled chameleon and I've had him for a year and a half. He is a boy
Handling - for some reason my chameleon scraches the door and loves to get out we even went to the vet and they couldn't find anything that was wrong with that lol
Feeding - the last time he ate was one mealworm and he hasnt ate a proper meal but drinks often
Supplements - I use reptivite calcium and calcium with vitaminD and multivitamins are the things I have
Watering - I mist the cage 5 times a day and he drinks water often from the syringe I offer him
Fecal Description - I don't see any poop lately but I see yellowish white urate. Maybe he hasnt pooped because he doesn't eat
History - we took him to the vet because he had calcium deficioncy and constipation

Cage Type - it's 2 glass tanks stacked on top of eachother that are 12 by 12 by 18 inches
Lighting -I use tropical uvb lights and basking light is 100 or 85 watt not sure
Temperature- the top is in the 90s and middle in 80s and floor is around 70

What all do you feed him? Chameleons have been known to go on hunger strikes. They get bored with the same old food. A healthy adult can go a couple weeks without eating and survive believe it or not. How often do you give calcium with and without d3. He really should not have a calcium deficiency if you are giving him it on a regular basis. Can you post some pictures of him? If the two tanks are stacked, how do you get ventilation?
