Thank you, it's so strange and sad not having him here and taking care of him. Right now I don't think I can bring myself to get another one, maybe in the future... but I'll never forget this guy
Thank you for your support everyone. It really is hard, I miss the little guy a lot. It felt really strange taking out all his stuff and waking up this morning without having to get him water or food. I really loved my first chameleon.. I hope I have the heart to get another one but as of right...
It's hitting me really hard. . Just lost my buddy today. I was trying to hold in my tears but removing him from the cage, seeing his body lifeless and sick, I couldnt hold it in anymore. I miss him so much, and I wish he could have made in another hour until our vet appointment. I feel extremely...
I have some tragic news... unfortunately he didn't make it. There's about an hour left for his appointment, I come in to check on him and he was already slouched over. It broke my heart, j don't even know what to do, seeing him like that killed me.
So it's 4AM, and I notice he's moving, I turn on the light and he opened his eyes and moved to a vine. His eyes look really bad and sunken. I noticed he has a jelly/bloody substance on the side of his mouth, and there was some on a vine. I'm not sure if he pooped on the vine and fell into it...
Thank you so much lovereps. I'm going to do that tomorrow because it's late now and he's probably trying to sleep. Seeing a chameleon in this condition is really heartbreaking. Hopefully the lil guys ok for tonight, shower tomorrow for sure since the has signs of dehydration. I will also post...
Thank you for your reply. I scheduled an appointment with a vet tomorrow. I will also start gutloading my crickets myself. As for the plant, I didn't wash it with soap, but it did wash it a lot with water. I'm thinking a cricket he ate must have started eating the soil or something from the...
i've started running my cool mist humidifier, hopefully that helps. I'm really worried right now though because hes slouched over with his eyes closed, barely hanging on vertically on the mesh/vine. I sprayed him with warm water and he moved a bit so I know hes still alive. Unfortunately the vet...
i forgot to mention, before getting the plant, he did sleep early sometimes, but never like how he does now. And usually before he was walk around ALOT, he was VERY active and would eat/drink normally.

I have 2 live plants, a dripper, a cool mist humidifier, and I mist 3-5 times a day, but the humidity is usually at 30%, 50% max when I close the door with the humidifier running for a while. I've read 50% should be the minimum, and I've been trying and trying to keep it up but idk what else to...
I noticed his foot has been like this for a couple days. I just got him on Friday. I've been trying to keep the humidity up but it's not going past 20-30% so I bought another plant that's on it's way. I spray a lot though.
He seems healthy, not too friendly yet though. Won't eat from me. I...
