i just read somewhere that if you see a baby cheameleon sneezing it might be bc you over dusted your crickets. could this be all that was wrong?

Maybe you heard him hissing at you? Can you fill out this? https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

If he looked like he was trying to throw up, he might have caught a feeder in his throat wrong. Just like us, sometimes things "go down wrong".
Make sure your feeders are small enough for a baby.

im almost positive he wasnt hissing bc ive heard him his at me. and he was doing it before i walk up to his cage. it was defiantly more of a cough or sneeze
schedule
I have found a good supplement schedule for a baby veiled is
Week 1: Calcium without D3 6 days a week, and then Calcium with D3 on Sunday
Week 2: Calcium without D3 6 days a week, and then Multivitamins on Sunday
Repeat. This schedule works for me, but you should take into consideration the brand of supplements you are using. Some are much stronger then others.

Has he continued to do it? One noise isn't a problem, but if it keeps happening you should probably take him to a vet.

I hope so. Keep listening though. Particularly pay attention after you've turned his lights out.
