My 2 year old male panther chameleon has been “off” for a couple weeks since leaving for a couple days. (Left fed, watered and with lights regulated).
Came home and he was lethargic, found on the bottom of cage and cold. We had recently moved and thought it was due to an AC vent blowing.
Weve changed bulbs, distilled water, and maintained heat. He hasn’t eaten in over a month by himself (I manually feed and water him).
Color is great. Temperature is great. He’s just not himself.
