Coma state

[NWBear]

Curious is anyone has ever seen their Panther Chameleon in a dead sleep coma state? This morning I thought he was dead as I saw no breathing movement so I poked and prodded him and he never flinched. so i assumed he was dead. Then about 30 mins later I misted the inside without thinking and his eye twitched so I sprayed again his body reacted. Took him 2 mins but he was awake and slowly moving. Recently he has become a finicky eater and yesterday I got him to eat 1 horn worm. I have always had good and bad weeks with this panther when it comes to eating.

Something's obviously very wrong with him! Take him to a vet ASAP!

yeah that is NOT normal, you should def take him to the vet.

 

[Pearl Fields]

He looks obese?

 

[Pearl Fields]

i dunno i just think it looks bigger than it should. (maybe post more pics op?)

I agree with a vet visit right away with a vet that has chameleon experience.

ok he is beautiful.
and yes he looks a little obese IMO.
also, his legs look warped/curved to me, dont know if that is just the angle?

What are the temps in the enclosure?

Please copy/paste this questionnaire, and fill in your answers, so the experts can review your enclosure & husbandry.

Please post a couple more recent photos of him from the side. I want to see his arms.

How old is he?

I agree that the front leg especially looks odd (MBD?). Better pics would definitely help! He is a gorgeous chameleon though!

I think the back leg looks weird too though, maybe that is just me but it looks curved weirdly
