Up until a few days ago, our veiled chameleon was fine - crawling around his cage and plants and eating crickets. But then I started noticing signs of sickness.
Current symptoms are:
-light green bump on his nose
-weakness
-sunken eyes
-loose grip
-deep breathing
-not eating crickets
and it looks like he could've burned his tail. He is also shades of very pale, lime green right now and keeps closing his eyes.
After research on various forums and websites, it seems that he is SEVERELY dehydrated.
The cage set up is:
Cage is wire 36'' x 14'' x 14''
One live hibiscus plant
2 halogen lights
One of the family members just went out to buy PEDIALYTE. How should we administer this and how much?
Also what other suggestions do you have for severe dehydration? We have been towling and spritzing him with water but he is still very weak.
Thank you!
