Chameleon not eating and dying

[Dex248]

I just recently bought a baby chameleon and I've noticed that she won't touch her crickets or mealworms she has a UVB and 100 degree basking spot she is very skinny and I'm concerned that she will die any help is much appriciated.

What type of chameleon is she? Plus 100 degrees sounds too hot for any chameleon. fill out a care sheet. it will be easier for the experts to give you a better diagnosis.

Welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to here your little one is not eating. What size crickets are you giving her? If they are too large she want eat them. It also sounds like she might be to hot. If you have a veiled or panther my blog attached below will give you general care information.

I buy in bulk so I bought the really tiny crickets and they are a little smaller than the width of her mouth
