Trooper is my Veiled Chameleon. He is the first Chameleon I have owned. I got him from a couple who could no longer take care of him. When I got him I noticed he was very dehydrated. His urates were completely yellow. His back is missing some spikes. It appears it happened from a light burn. He was feed crikets that only ate the "criket food" supplied by reptilefood.com.
Since I have taken care of him I think I have corrected the dehydration. His urates are now white with a little yellow tinge to them. I have been feeding him crikets that are gut loaded with Kale(and other lettuce),Carrots,Broccoli,and some cellery.
I dust the crikets with Zoo-med multivitamin once every 2 weeks and I also dust with Rep-Cal Calcium with Vitamin D3 every other feeding.(This was suggested to me by a very helpfull guy at Screameleons). He eats well, about 5-6 crikets a day, and sometimes a few mealworms.
I have no idea how old he is. The previous owners could shed very little light. All they said was they got him from a local pet store where the guy there said he got him from Florida.
I will post more later. First thing is I will post a link to Pics I have of him. Please take a look and tell me what you guys think. My girlfriend and I want to make damn sure we are doing the best for him as possible. I have not taken him to a vet yet... We have allot of snow here... plus I want him to settle in before I stress him out anymore.
Please take a look and discuss Troopers well being with me.
