Thank you Elizadolots.
I guess the rule of thumb here is NEVER let anyone but yourself handle your Chameleon.. Unfortunately my guy paid the ultimate price..
I am very saddened to report 'Ivor' has passed. His tongue is out.. And there is no movement at all.. Just as I had gotten hold of a 24hr clinic too..
=(((
I'm really bummed.. It's not like he was ever constantly exposed to any kind of fooling around..
He did have a few issues during his...
Yeah that's the way I feel now.. I was thinking before 'he needs more human contact'.. I've never seen him salivate or act like that when handled.. He definitely seemed better when I put him back in his cage.. But defiantly not now.. I really do not see him breathing.. Just mouth opening...
I'm having a big issue at the moment.. I have a Veiled Chameleon.. He's about 8 months old.. Eating about 4-6 large powered crickets and the occasional Super worm for a treat.
Had some people over and had somebody take him out of the cage.. And pretty rough too.. Well he started drooling and...
Well I just wanted to add an update. It seems my little guy is doing better.. We decided his shedding was a big problem for him so we helped him out some. Especially in the feet area as he wasn't doing much with it. He is almost completely shedded and is moving around more. Still don't think he...
No I have a day and night bulb. Each are on for 12 hrs. Will be taking out the night time light now. He hasnt had and falls that I am aware of. The rear legs issue started when I took him out for a daily handling. Almost looked like a seizure.. Or just playing dead? But the rears have been...
He has not been standing right all day and not standing at all for the last couple hours. No video on the phone - though that would not do much because he hasnt move since I put him back in the cage.

Well if he makes it through this I will be sure to do so. I will confirm the solid pee's were not yellow and droppings were all solid. He's definitely in rough shape and has been laying on his side. And still no movement. He did turn bright when handled for pics and is back to a dark green now...
Well I would let him do that as I do see skin on his feet. But he isnt doing much of anything now.

I am not sure if he has lately. As I have not cleaned the tank in a couple days. Mostly black droppings with a couple white droppings. I highly doubt any are today.
His hind legs seemed fine the other day. No weaker than the front.
I do not know water intake and have read I may not see him...
I was thinking this as well.
He hasnt had any issues climbing. Would hang on the near the top (and the screen top (upside down sometimes)) most of the time and go low during feeding. So no nightlight - check. I will work on the day bulb.
I will be using eko terra 13w 10.0 uvb until then.
Here he is doing good

Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon and I've had him for 2 weeks.
Handling - Once a day due to his age - Careful not to touch his sides.
Feeding - I feed him around 8 small/medium crickets.
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting...
Or atleast I hope not.
I picked up a Veiled Chameleon 2 weeks ago and he was 2 weeks old.
He has begun shedding but seems very strange. Almost stroke-like.. Legs appear to not work at times and he doesn't use his feet much. He has been eating crickets up until the shedding started.
I have...
