Thanks everyone - yeah I hear ya jean I just laid him on that towel and wrapped it up when I was certain he has stopped breathing. In that picture I posted he is dead. I think he went out sometime during the night. Appreciate all the advise and support.

Here's the last pic I took of him in his bed and one of my favourites that I took of him with a close up lense

Yeah I did enjoy the last few hours with him last night holding him and misting him. I'm sad but at the same time I've had him for almost 7 years since he was two weeks old. He loved living the bachelor lifestyle with me and he always impressed guests who came over and never saw a veiled...

Actually I'm fairly certain he died in the night, not breathing and appears stiff. What do you guys do with the body? I wanted to bury him outside but don't want an animal to get him

Thanks everyone, I took him out of the cage so the crickets don't bother him and laid him on a little bed and adjusted the lights. His breathing is getting a bit slower and he moves his legs a bit. What will they do if I take him to the vet?

Okay I might just try and make him comfortable, I'm sure packing him up and transporting him to a vet would upset him

Yes, I know you're right, and I certainly don't want him to suffer, it was hard to watch him this morning. Can you elaborate on 'put him down?' Like should I do it myself, or take him to a vet? I've never done this before and am kinda uncomfortable.

I've had Leon, a colourful wonderful male veiled chameleon for 6 years. He'a lived alone with me in a huge screen cage by a window, fed crickets, super worms and those sticky blue worms. He gets misted frequently and I work shifts so he has a lot of time to himself which I think he really likes...

Wow those are nice looking chameleons

Thanks Hoj for looking after my lil guy. It's great to have him back and in such good and healthy condition. He looked sad to be leaving your place but I'll do my best for him!

Nice video... He looks to be pretty big

I recognize that big veiled, great picture! He looks happy and I'm sure he'll be in good hands. Thanks again for taking care of him, your a life saver. -Sam

Hey, thanks a lot for your help everyone. This has helped me out huge. Thanks Hoj, see you tomorrow.

More good news, my brother is going away for a 3 days during that time so he can't mist him then. I sent you a PM Hoj.

Ok good ideas, I'll do that. Thanks. Do you think I'm feeding my chameleon too many super worms? Most of you use crickets as the staple food right?

I'm in Toronto Ontario if anyone is willing to help me out. I thought about taking him to a pet store but I'm pretty sure he'd be worse off there. I don't feed him mealworms, I rotate with Superworms and crickets. His cage is really big so I can't always observe him eating crickets but...

Yeah looks like I'll have to do that.. it's just that hes not very reliable. What instructions should I give him, should I feed him crickets or worms.. Also, what if I just told him to release 2 or 3 crickets from the container a day if he doesn't see them in the cage?

Normally what I do is hand feed him a super worm or two every day. He doesn't seem to eat much more then that and sometimes won't eat for a day. So what I will do is put crickets in a tube I guess and he can crawl on the screen to get them. Last time I had superworms in a tube he didn't seem...

Hey guys, I'm leaving my adult male veiled chameleon at home while I'm away for 2 weeks. He is in a large enclosure with UVB and heat lamp which go off on a timer every 12 hours. My brother is able to spray him with water but I'm not sure how reliable he will remember. I also plan to leave...

Handling chameleons isn't a great idea. Bearded dragons are the way to go if you want to handle a reptile. Chameleons respond very rapidly to stress and repetitively handling one will shorten it's life span.
