Cage type: It is a 20 gallon (tall) glass tank with a screen lid



Temperatures: I don't know. I think that even though the guy i got him from is good with reptiles, that he gave me some bad adive All I know is that at night the room is around 74 degrees and Charlie sleeps happily (light light green) in the same spot every night. His heat and UV light are not on at night.



Lighting: It is a slimline reptile fixture. That's what is says. However the guy I got him from showed me the readings from all the lights and this one was the best. The lights are on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours. They sit on top of his tank.



Humidity: I don't know again. I live in Canada?? lolz



Water: Yes I see him drink all of the time and his urates are always pure white. I drip using a cup with a hole poked in the bottom of it, It's going on and off all day. I refill it about every 1 or 2 hours and in between that I mist him and he licks it off his lips.



Food: Yes I see him eat everyday. He eats crickets from the same place that I got my Cham. They are gutloaded before he eats them. They eat carrots, lettuce and cricket pellets and also have cricket water in with them.



Supplements: I dust the crickets with vitamin C everyday. I don't remember the brand. Everyone I talked to recommended this brand though.



Plants & branches: I have a fake plant, and a piece of driftwood I call pride rock and a vine stretching from one to the other. I usually see him but he can hide from view.



Chameleon facts: My chameleon is about 3/4 months old. He was captive bred he is a vieled. I got him from a reptile store that gets them from a breeder.



Handling: Yes I handle my chameleon. To clean the tank and to take him outside. He usually turns a bright green with I hold him and likes to climb onto my shoulder and sleep. He is in my room which is very quiet except for the crickets chirping. If I turn music on I keep it quiet. He cannot see any other pets except when I take him out and he is quite taken with my little dog. He loves to climb onto her head and sleep. She lets him.



Veterinarians: As far as I know. He told me he knows them.
