The cages size might be the issue. He might want his 24 •24 •48+ size cage and more free range time. Temp seems right. A picture of the cage might be nice.

A dark towel will work, white is fine to just make sure you can't see through it. Leaving a crack just large enough that you can see the lay bin to check on her is a good idea. If she does not lay for a while there is no reason to delay feeding.

Those are gravid colors and her digging means she could lay tonight. Make sure to give her abloute privacy.

Does that setup have any screen? No or little ventilation leads to respiratory problems. You might need a new cage along with new decorations.

How much cover is near the cage top? My Cham walked on the top of the cage when I had to temporarily remove her plants and she was exposed. I think she was trying to hide.

This is the chameleon version of a bad hair day.

If he is laying on a branch sleeping or with his eyes closed it might be lack of sleep or a bigger problem. If he is lying there awake he is most likely just resting or basking is a warmer area of the cage . My Cham will sometimes sit there watching me or out a window.

Looks good! I would fill some extra space with a few branches, they like exploring.

Some water will drain into her mouth off her crest but not enough it seems. I would feed her moisture rich foods like hornworms and canalope. Also leave her alone right after misting. She will be more tempted to walk around and drink with nothing watching her

I hate that I have to write this but in a personal experience with a orphan baby deer I learned that when an animal is starved to a certain point they completely loose interest in eating. He is likely nearing death right now because pet smart didn't feed him enough. I would try to feed him some...

Keep track of how many butter worms you feed if you choose to feed them. They are like chameleon candy bars.

I got the two together because it was the only thing for sale at pet smart at the time. I plan to get a second light for more uvb and to keep plants alive better.

Also I have the light on top of the cage. Here is a pic of mine, ( 10 inches long)

I got a 24 24 48 reptibreeze on eBay for $78 if I remember correctly. There were a lot for sale prices at about $80 - $90.

Is that a a piece of plastic tubing in the second picture? I am afraid he will slip on it. A stick or vine would be better. Sand papering the plastic might make it rougher. Sorry to bother you about it, I just saw a story about a Cham falling and breaking several bones. It has me thinking about it.

So glad to be a member now! This forum has helped me a lot and I can even help other people, I love it!

According to the replies I have it seems scratching is a normal thing. If she was scratching the same spot take a look, if it looks normal it is probably nothing. The worst thing I can imagine for the reson a Cham is itchy is that there if a bit of shed stuck on a leg or something. A warm mist...

I think a mini tree is a great idea. They provide a lot of branches to explore and cover. I personly had a hybiscus tree in my cage( they need a lot more sunlight than I could provide so it is outside now) and Randal loved it. I have a fake tree now, still a lot of space and she likes it but I...

For a lighting setup you need a basking spot with a plant stem/vine under the light and the uvb bulb somewhere over a place the Cham will be( like next to the basking spot for a little light over the whole cage for a big one) I got a connected light fixture made for this by zoo med. It was a...

I think it would work very good as a free range if you did something like hang a pothos plant on the top and let it grow down around the stand. Some extra sticks/vines are good idea, more things to explore.
