Chameleon REFUSES to eat

[Bubbaty]

OK. My 7 months old veiled chameleon is ill, and i know that. I have told the vet about this and they have checked her out, and suggested getting wax worms because my chameleon hasnt eaten food in forever. Her humidity is fine, she has a UVB bulb, i mist her cage 3 times a day, and dont handle her too often. I have tried giving her leafy greens, wax worms, crickets, and mealworms, but she wont eat any. I need to know what to do. Please dont recommend me to go to the vet, because we have already gone. Should i get vitamins or what? I just feel so bad for her.

Can you post pictures of the entire enclosure including the lights on top and of the chameleon please?

 

[Bubbaty]

Oh, she is a veiled chameleon

I understand but I need pics of the entire enclosure including the lights on top and of the chameleon. This will give me a starting place to see if something is missing in her environment causing the decline.

Yes. I have to go to school, so give me some time please

First guess, without seeing her is she’s carrying eggs and time is getting critical. But let’s wait for input.

We dont have a boy. Just her

She doesn't need a boy in order to produce eggs.

I’m assuming you don’t have a lay in in the cage for her…right? How about a real plant in a pot of soil?

 

[kinyonga]

Wait a minute…isn’t this the chameleon that got grabbed in the stomach??
What did the vet say about her being grabbed? Did the vet check for damage?
Did the vet do any X-rays to see if she had eggs in her? Damage?

Chameleons are like chickens, they produce infertile eggs and they need to be laid, otherwise they’ll poisoning their self. Like @kinyonga mentioned you need a lay bin for her, so she can lay her eggs.
