So i started with some Pygmy chameleons, male and female. My female is doing great and has been out of the box..the male..well. he died shortly after receiving him. very lethargic and not gripping branches eventually. i got another male shipped to me the next week and this one is starting to do the same thing. He will hardly move, if he does its because i moved him. i just watched him grip a branch and slowly lean backwards to the point he just falls off. eventually find him on the ground. I have not seen him eat in awhile.. meal worms are available. the female is doing great and going strong.
