A picture would be most beneficial. Are her eyes sunken in?

Hornworms should not be fed at all if they are wild caught. I would never feed a wild caught insect unless I was 100 percent sure it was pesticide and bacteria free. Check out our site sponsors for captive bred feeders.

Id take her to a vet and get her checked for parasites. Get rid of the powersun like atsutane said. They are great for beardies but not chams. Check out the site sponsors and purchase a reptisun 5.0 but make sure its linear and not the coil, as the coil can cause blindness. For heat, a standard...

A healthy cham doesnt sit in one spot all day. They like to move and explore. How many days has it been since he has eaten? A healthy cham can go weeks without food. If you are really worried fill out the ask for help form so we can pinpoint a potential problem

looks like a girl

Closing eyes during the day is a sign of illness. Make sure your temps and humidity levels are on point. Are you using supplements? Why are you using a heating pad? how cold does it get in your house? What is your reason for substrate? It causes impaction and also grows bacteria. Ditch the...

Its common for them to chew on them. Juvenile's are more prone to doing so. Take it out if it becomes excessive

He said only while basking though. Anyway you should probly fill out an ask for help form so we can see what's up with your husbandry edit: Just saw your other post. Did you ditch the heat pad? I would ditch that light as well and get a 65 watt household bulb. Also make sure you have a nice...

What's the wattage on the bulb and what is the basking temp? Why not just use a household incandescent bulb?

around 70% for panthers and 60% for veilds with spikes up to ten %

Yes there are a few differences. Panthers are from the tropical biomes of madagascar and require lower temperatures. 85 is preferable for basking spot with an ambient temp of the low 70's. They also require more humidity than veilds. Veilds are from Yemen and require a basking temp of around 90...

I didn't buy a thing. I was going to but he didn't even have what I needed. Believe me I def had a word with him

Makes me sick. First off I walk into the store and its absolutely boiling inside. the ambient temp was probly in the 80's due to the heat being on. Then this guy has 4 female Jackson's around 4-5 months in the same small enclosure. They were crawling on each other thats how small it was. The...

I gotcha. No problem

DO NOT FEED THOSE WORMS. I saw a video where wasps actually lay there eggs on the worms and infect them. Not only that those worms have been in some sort of pesticides for sure. Check out mullbery farms or www.coastalsilkworms.com for hornworms. Do not feed wild ones.

Sounds like he's sick of crix. Keep in mind that cham's don't only eat crickets in the wild. They eat over 50 types of insects. Variety is key in a healthy chameleon. Try feeding him something new every day and make sure everything is gut loaded.

Im not trying to say that what your vet said is wrong in any way because he knows a lot more than me. My question is how does gatorade especially pedialyte actually dehydrate the reptile even more? Unless it has a reverse effect on reptiles. Ive seen countless threads where pedialyte was...

Just be careful with too many worms. They can get fattening if they are fed off to much.

How do you know the cham is stressed? If you notice your cham drinking all the time he could be too hot. What are your temps? You also might wanna fill out the ask for help form so we can critique your setup.

You will be fine if you fed hornworms more than once a week. Me and a lot of other keepers try and stay away from a "staple". Cham's dont eat one insect in the wild so variety is key.
