Thanks, the vet tried to show me how to properly do it but it is definitely challenging, I will look into the site before I try. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Veiled chameleon, male, about a year old, has...

So... she said that he is extremely dehydrated... and he may have a respiratory infection or parasites. He has antibiotics for every 48 hours for 3 weeks. And we are doing a fecal tomorrow. Along with potentially more test. She also told me to blend crickets with water and to syringe feed him...

At the vet now. There’s one who specializes in reptiles there. I will keep you both posted and I hope to figure out what caused him to be like this

I noticed the past few days his eyes seemed to be a bit sunken but he was still acting the same. Yesterday I went to feed him and he wouldn’t even go near the crickets. I picked him up and he hissed but didn’t really try to get away as he normally would. He licked up some water after I took him...

Yes I believe so! Although I will watch it just in case. Thank you for that observation. And yes I agree:)

okay i will keep an eye on him! thanks

Okay thanks I will look into that! And could that be a sign of dehydration? Here are a couple of pictures of him to maybe get a better look! Thanks

Okay thank you very much! I will read up and all of this and make all of those changes right away. Was very worried about his colour as it was something i hadn’t seen before. All of this is very much appreciated. Glad to have so many knowledgeable people.

In this case he was never been in the US always Canada. And came from a local pet store instead of a chain one. Would you still recommend him getting a fecal?

So is this a health concern and is there anything I can do to improve it? Also the thing is that he hasn’t always been this colour. He is usually a light green but he has just changed into this colouring over the last couple of days.

Oh wow I had purchased him through a pet store and they told me he was around that age. New to owning them so wasn’t sure what they look like at certain ages. Thanks for the help with everything, I will get right on all of that!

He is only a couple of months old and i’ve started him in a smaller enclosure but he will be upgrading. He is usually a solid, light green but this is the colour he has been lately. He has just finished shedding, could this play a factor in it? I am fairly new to chameleons and would love any...

I’ve only had my chameleon for a couple of months and all has been going well. Recently, over the past few days he has always been a dark colour; sometimes with black colouring present. Even though nothing has changed in his environment, diet or temperature. What could be causing this? and how...
