Many keepers have seasonal outdoor enclosures and have no issues. He may not want to come in, but that ultimately is up to you 😆. I set up an outdoor free range on my lanai and Raistlin and Zaphod enjoyed it. They both were happy back in their enclosures.
You will likely get a lot of questions about husbandry right now, but she needs a vet with chameleon experience, pronto. Major signs of metabolic bone disease causing brittle bones. Once she has some immediate care we can help with correcting her needs.
If you want to try keeping a chameleon again, we are here to help. A bit of research can help you be more successful. These are amazing creatures!
So sorry for your loss.
Agreed with @MissSkittles above. I just had to let my boy go. The vet was awesome and was able to do the procedure through IV, but there was still a very faint “pulse” after some minutes. A second shot was needed.
Doesn’t look underfed to me, but looks like going through a shed? Often they will not eat much when shedding. Could also be some sort of hunger “strike”. Not sure if I would be concerned just yet.
I would not mist at night. There is debate about fogging overnight, but misting is not something I recommend. Most misting is giving opportunity to drink and raise humidity when heat/lights are strongest. Misting at night will not benefit chameleons while they sleep. Some can benefit from...
We made the decision to let Raistlin go today. He has been in “hospice” care for a few weeks now. We will miss his sweet personality, his amazing vibrant color, his gorgeous face…
He was never the most photogenic, but here are a few pics. We will never forget you, sweet boy. Rest in Paradise...
