Female panther chameleon unusual behaviour

[jami]

Hi guys hope all is well?

My approx 1 year old panther female chameleon during the last few weeks has (from what ive seen) not eaten a thing, even her favourites!

Her weight loss doesn't seem that extreme but none the less is concerning. Her behaviour has changed a little in the way shes not exploring as much and she seems to strangely nod her head occasionally and I swear I've heard her make a small bark/sneezing noise! All within the last few weeks.

Can you please help?

Regards Jamie. ?...... Thanks

Sorry to hear that your panther's not doing well. At that age she should have a laying bin in her enclosure at all times, just incase she needs to lay.

Do you see any extra saliva in her mouth? Does she hold her head up or puff out her chin? You said she sneezed so I was just checking out the possibility of an RI.

Has she been checked for parasites lately?

Please post a few pictures of her and fill out the Ask For Help form just incase it could be something in your husbandry causing it. https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

Thanks for reply.

Yea she has a large laying bin about 15 inch x 15x 15 and the setup I have got I feel is more than sufficient with all correct temps, uv and humidity closely regulated in a large 1m20cm squared well ventilated viv. However I will fill out form just incase ive missed a trick. There is no signs of saliva or any other similar type.

Give me a moment and I shall upload pictures

Thanks for your time.

Jamie

Also I haven't noticed her lifting her head but she does puff her throat up occasionally
