My other chameleon was completely fine and one day he was just sitting under the basking light all day with his eyes closed. Afterward, he became super weak such that he could not even hold himself....2 days later he died.

In lieu of all vet closings, here is my post...if the picture is difficult to see, the growth seems like a grey mass protruding directly out of the skin. This came after he just recently shed. There is only one and it has grown significantly in the past 2 weeks. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon...

Here is a picture of him about a month ago. A beautiful and gentle soul. You'll be missed.

Thank you all for the advice. I took him to the vet this morning, but he was already significantly worse. The vet said it was most likely an underlying disease or cancer that he was trying to hide for a while but could no longer handle, leading to the swift unavoidable decline. The vet told me...

He was handled on a different day than the others, but they are all panthers. The only difference is age. I've never had to go to a reptile vet, but there is one nearby and I left a message a few minutes ago. As for the eyes, they went from completely fine to very sunken overnight, so I don't...

Yes, all 4 years. I don't think anything stressful was done to him during the handling, but he is never handled so I presume the activity in itself was most likely very stressful simply due to the novelty. I have 3 other chameleons which were also handled, but they are 1-2 years old. I will call...

6% Arcadia. Also Panther carsheet says ~82F for >9 months, that's why I kept it at 82, not that a couple of degrees would matter though, haha. Ah, okay, apologies. Thanks!

Tongue isn’t swollen or abnormal. It was a voluntary movement; imagine a dog drinking water, that’s literally what it looked like. It functions completely normally, too.

During misting I caught my panther cham just letting his tongue 'fall' out a few times—it just hung there for a while, then he would bring it back up. It was quite low too (the entire 'sticky' part, for lack of a better word, was hanging out) I've never seen him or any of my other chams do this...

They mean both. Not that it matters much but.. :P

Are you looking to replace your veggie gutload with the dry? Or do both? IMO organic veggies are optimal; also you don’t need to do both dry and veggie.

Cute! Looks like a girl to me though.

The cage is less than 3 feet tall and the cham is relatively young. Also pics show there is no foliage up there.
