Hi I could do with some advice/reassurance
I have a five month old Male Veiled Chameleon called Walter he has been eating regularly, a diet of calcium dusted crickets ( and his food is dusted with Nutrabol once a week) occasional wax worms, locusts and butter worms and has been growing steadily, he is in a flexarium about fout feet high by two feet deep by three feet wide. humidity is fine, his basking spot is between 90 & 95 he has two uvb strip lights inside the flex, both less than six weeks old. The bottom of the flex is about 80 degrees. He has a constant supply of dripping water which he drinks from.
Up until about a week ago he used to stay pretty much in his basking spot just wandering off occasionally to cool down or to hunt food. But he has suddenly started wandering around the cage a lot more and seem less interested in food. He seems healthy, no indications of MBD. He also spends a fair amount of time right up against the uvb lights. Is occasional fasting OK at this age, its just he has been growing like crazy (as you would expect) and I am concerned that he seems more mobile and less hungry plus the hanging around the UVB lights.
I have picture of the viv and Walter but I don't know how to find a web page I can put them on to link to this post so I can display them?
many thanks in advance for any advice you can give
