I took him out for some play time but after about 5-10 min he started to get really lazy and layed down on my head then closed his eyes he didn't want to budge at all. i was even able to rub under his chin about 5 sec before he opened his eyes- he didn't care at all. I've watched him drink water and eat all day today(HE'S A GROWING BOY!) When i put him back in his cage he was all fine and climbing around. I dont know if since it was kinda dark he thought it was bed time or what, but if you look at the posting "mimic" you will see another story from today that i posted when he did it earlier, that is why i am getting more and more concerned.

Looking for some advice on my next move!
thank you

Here are some pictures of him being lazy

And some more for better reference on what I should do to make sure he is fully healthy

Do the lights come on and go off at the same time each day?

Chams need about 12 hours of darkness to sleep each night and it is best when the lights are on and off at the same time each day.

I would definitely ditch the Flukers 2:1 calcium/phosphorus.
I can't imagine why they would make a calcium powder with phosphorus in it.

A number of forum sponsors sell the plain calcium, such as Pangea, which sells 2 different brands of it:

Amazon is another source.

Silkworms, hornworms, Dubias, Blue Bottle Flies, Phoenixworms, Isopods are all good additions to a cham diet.
Feeding a varied diet of gutloaded feeders helps to ensure that your cham receives the nutritients he needs.
Here's one source of some of these:

Some chams, when handled, don't react agressively but instead will "shut down" as a stress reaction.

This may be what is happening with your cham.
