Thank you everyone for your kind words. They mean a lot. I know it's been awhile since I last posted to let you all know that Wilson didn't make it, and I just wanted to say it's not because I didn't care about replying to any of you, or anything like that. It's just been too hard to visit...

Wilson passed away at 2 pm. Thank you for all the help and advice you gave us. He will be dearly missed.

ALSO! The room I'm in doesn't have a lot of light, and I have him sitting in a little bin with a cotton towl and a fake vine. Should I have a uv light, or basking light set up for him? The temp is currently 74F in his bin.

UPDATE! Wilson made it through the night. My husband and I decided that he really needed rest so we didn't try to water him during the night, we just let him sleep. This morning he seems to be a bit stronger. He's sitting next to me and I've been trying to spray him and get him to drink as...

Ok... signing off for the night... My wife (whom knows way more about chameleons than I) said the whitening is often times a sign of them being cold. The "bath water" had become cool to the touch, so i replaced it with warm water, left him in for a couple of minutes, then took him out of the...

We have also noticed that he is very pale/white in color. Particularly around the base of his tail. I'm not sure is if this is important, I just thought I'd add it.

Also.. i lied... I was just looking at him and noticed that although both eyes are swollen, the right eye is a little more swollen and has some bruising, perhaps from a fall. He is moving around more now, which I like. I am not as worried about him dying any second now.. He is keeping his...

I'm not even sure it fell over anymore... it looks more like it was purposely placed on its side. His dripper, which was on top of the cage, was acting as a support beam... there is no way it could have fallen under the cage in that manner... This makes me wonder why the house-watcher would put...

Our Jackson's Chameleon (Wilson) is acting extremely lethargic and is vomiting. Before I get started here is what I think happened: Some malfunction happened with the misting system, so i think he has been severely dehydrated. We were gone for a week and had a friend come by the house once...

Well, it has been quite a while, and I have lots of updates. Took Wilson to the vet and it turns out that he an abscess in his mouth, some sort of infection in his throat and a bone infection in his leg. The mouth and throat we easily fixed. I had to give some oral antibiotics and a few...

YIKES!! I just had him out of the cage because I was taking pictures of him and I noticed a tiny bit of old shed. I got a qtip and was rubbing it off, and trying to gently retrain him (since he obviously was happy about being poked with a wet qtip), when his mouth started...

Those last 5 pictures of him are a good example of Wilson's 'feel good' colors. Although, I did take him out of his cage to take them while he was sleeping....

Here are the pictures I took today. While I was taking them I noticed what looked to me like a lump under his tail that I didn't remember being there from before so I took some pictures of that too. While I'm waiting for replies I'm going to look up a vet in my area. Here's hoping the are...

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Update: I thought Wilson was starting to get better for the past few days until this morning when I went to check on him. I noticed his left side is swollen. Behind the corner of his mouth, and his foot too. His other side looks fine, and I didn't notice...

Well, I changed the bulb to a 40watt. The temp reads around 85. The past two days or so he hasn't been near the bottom of the cage at all. In fact whenever I've come in to look at him he's been in his basking spot right under the light, about as close to it as he can get himself. Do you think...

Ok, I'll go change the bulb right now.

OK, I've stopped giving him any suppliments, (of course he hasn't really been eating for a few days, so I couldn't even if I wanted to). Wilson no longer looks swollen, but he is still sitting with his eyes closed and today when I got home from work I found him sitting in his lower plant hiding...

Here's his info: cage type- screen repterium, 16"x14"x36", approx lighting- one reptisun 5.0 uva, linear 18", and a basking light, i thinks it's 100watt because it's the only one that gets his basking spot the right temp. They are on from 7am to 8:30ish. I don't own any compact bulbs...

Does Wilson look ok to you? He had been doing very well recently but the past few days I noticed he started closing his eyes during the day. So the past few days I've been flushing his eyes with saline, and yesterday I put some terramicin on both eyes. Then this evening when I got home from...

Did you find out any answers to your questions? I just found one of my silk worms made a cocoon so now I'm wondering the same things.
