Are there any crickets roaming his cage? If they are hungry they may have bitten him.

It's a girl! In my humble opinion.

Veiled Chameleons are the most robust Chameleons around they can handle the widest range of temps and humidity of all Chameleons, there are now even wild colonies all over Florida so I doubt long term humidity near 100% would be any problem for them.

Stress from handling is the same for all Chameleons and is really an individual thing and with trust and proper handling this should not be an issue. In fact I've seen and read they are actually more social than most Chameleons and will tolerate having multiple Chameleons in one enclosure and...

I was told long ago from an experienced breeder to use turtle drops, one drop in each eye once a month I haven't had issues since

You should get a Trioceros sternfeldi or commonly miscalled a Rudis Chameleon they would be fine with the cage you have but would need more plants and misting and are a better Chameleon

@BackwaterReptiles Do you still breed Rudis ( Trioceros sternfeldi )? It's like they disappeared from the pet trade is it still legal to have them?

Icebergs and Parsonii this is a tough month to pick a winner:confused:

Try hand feeding the veggies 1st make sure they move and wiggle. That is how i got Doughnut to finally eat veggies instead of munching on her Pothos. At 1st she would not eat any veggies in her food cup now that she recognizes them from me hand feeding her them she now eats them out of her cup...

how often and how many feeders were you feeding him? Was he overweight? Got a pic?

Give him some worms silk, horn, and butter. They will help hydrate him mostly the horn, silks are good for vitamins, and butter will help gain fat. Still dust with calcium with out d3.

I think the most important thing is to keep the cage up high at least 4-5 foot off the floor so your Cham is higher off the ground and feels safer.

I don't mean to insult just a fat chameleon is usually the onslaught of an unhealthy one with a drastically shorter life just be careful.

She looks fat to me. What insects, how much, and how often are you feeding her?

Reminds me of Megamind or Leader (Samuel Sterns) of the Chameleon world! Those might be good names

You think it might be neurological from being inbreed?

I don't even feed with crickets or locust just to avoid the bites I use dubia as my staple feeder.

Did you make a starter hole for her?

Here is the latest clutch

Get a Trioceros sternfeldi (Rudis) Chameleon read up on them they are the best!
