Thanks everyone - yeah I hear ya jean I just laid him on that towel and wrapped it up when I was certain he has stopped breathing. In that picture I posted he is dead. I think he went out sometime during the night. Appreciate all the advise and support.
Yeah I did enjoy the last few hours with him last night holding him and misting him. I'm sad but at the same time I've had him for almost 7 years since he was two weeks old. He loved living the bachelor lifestyle with me and he always impressed guests who came over and never saw a veiled...
Actually I'm fairly certain he died in the night, not breathing and appears stiff. What do you guys do with the body? I wanted to bury him outside but don't want an animal to get him
Thanks everyone, I took him out of the cage so the crickets don't bother him and laid him on a little bed and adjusted the lights. His breathing is getting a bit slower and he moves his legs a bit. What will they do if I take him to the vet?
Yes, I know you're right, and I certainly don't want him to suffer, it was hard to watch him this morning.
Can you elaborate on 'put him down?' Like should I do it myself, or take him to a vet? I've never done this before and am kinda uncomfortable.
I've had Leon, a colourful wonderful male veiled chameleon for 6 years. He'a lived alone with me in a huge screen cage by a window, fed crickets, super worms and those sticky blue worms. He gets misted frequently and I work shifts so he has a lot of time to himself which I think he really likes...
Thanks Hoj for looking after my lil guy. It's great to have him back and in such good and healthy condition. He looked sad to be leaving your place but I'll do my best for him!
I recognize that big veiled, great picture! He looks happy and I'm sure he'll be in good hands. Thanks again for taking care of him, your a life saver.
