Oh, and one more thing you could try...give your Cham a "bath". Put him on a little plant, and take him in the shower. Put it on a warm temperature (so that it gets steamy in there but not too hot) and let the water droplets bounce off the shower wall and INDIRECTLY spray on him. You don't want...
You said you mist about 3-4x a day for 30 seconds?
You definitely need to be misting for a minimum of 3-5 mins each time...as is this the only way Chameleons get their water.
Other than that, I'd change any compact UVB bulbs you have in there.
Im sad to say that Pickle unfortunately passed away last night. He wasn't acting right around 10:30 PM as I was walking by his enclosure. He was very pale and climbing on the side of his enclosure. I'm just glad I happened to check on him...he passed away peacefully in my hands. :(
I just...
I tried feeding his earlier today but he didn't want it so I didn't force him. He had a bath around 7 and drank a little but of water. He hasn't eaten since yesterday
I just wanted to thank everyone on this forum who has helped me. Especially @Andee
But I'm sorry to say that Pickle didn't make it. I walked by his cage just a little bit ago and he was really pale and hanging from the side of his enclosures...Which is odd behavior for him. Then I noticed...
I'll do some calling tomorrow and see what I can come up with Vet wise and see if anyone is willing to work with me. I'll also look into Care credit. Unfortunetly the vet I use for my dogs who's amazing and would work with me doesn't have anyone who was comfortable enough in working with...
Yes I have Reptivite. Should I add it to the smoothie mixture I'm feeding him? If so how much?
And thank you very much! You've helped me give Pickle the best chance he has to get back on track health wise. As far as the Vet goes, I've called a few that you guys recommended to me on here and...
No worries! I don't expect anyone to read every single comment on this thread haha
Yes I give him at least 1 shower/bath a day. Today he only got 1 technically, but I tried to mimic a bath by putting his humidifier on high and misting him with warm water. That's when he ate the most food...
UPDATE:
Okay so today I was able to feed Pickle two times. First time, I probably only got about 0.2mL in him because he was being stubborn...but later this afternoon I was able to get him to eat 0.4mL - 0.5mL and seemed like he wanted more! But I didn't want to give him too muc...just in case...
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I unfortunately have not always been this good of a pet owner for one reason or another (lack of knowledge, time, being a young idiot, etc.)
I think it has something to do with a very tragic incident that happened earlier this year. My puppy...
He did not, but only because unfortunately I only had time to really try once, and was still a little pressed for time. He did however clean his eyes and then open eyes them for a bit again after his bath :)
I set up a better feeding administration tube thingy for him last night that I'm...
Ah okay good to know. I just went with this one for now because it was Prime Day yesterday and I had enough $ in my Amazon account to pay for this so I just went for it haha.
Hope to get Pickle to the vet that @jannb recommened by the end of this week. Since they're Specialist, their fees were...
Yes I notified the humidifier didn't created a ton of water droplets which is what I was kinda hoping for. But maybe I had the wrong impression about what they do?
I've been letting him sit in the sun with me 2x day for 20-30 mins each time. Still giving afternoon & evening baths :)
Will post...
Whoops. Yes I did haha

Here's a close up of the mister in Pickle's enclosure. Is it placed correctly or need to be adjusted in anyway?
Also, this is the mister on the highest setting. Too much?
Thanks again for everyone's help!
