No idea how long she’ll be around. My girl has been with me for 6 years and is around 6 1/2…she’s sometimes showing little signs of slowing down, but then gets right back to her usual.

When it gets dark, chameleons go to sleep. They will wake up once it’s light, but it’s best to let them sleep thru the night for about 12 hours. It is best to feed early in the day, so they have plenty of time to bask and heat up enough to properly digest their food. Little ones like yours...
Hi. Unless the lights are off and the room is dark, baby is quite sick. Can you post some pics of her entire enclosure, including lights? What are you feeding her and how much? What supplements are you using and how often? Has she ever been tested for parasites?

You can just copy and paste with your answers.
