Help I think my chameleon is sick

[Ally1998]

Hello am new here and am new to having a chameleon she is a veiled her eyes are tiny and their black she constantly sticks out her bones I keep her cage from 75-80+ I feed her crickets 5 morning 5 night but she also hasn’t ate in 3 days I keep them in her cage hoping she will hunt them and get them herself but she hasn’t I’ll list some pictures down below she doesn’t normally look like this it’s been recently I’ve caught her looking like that

Can you please take a picture of her entire enclosure? It looks like you need to make some serious changes for her to regain her health. From what I can see already, you MUST get rid of that bowl of water!! Chameleons are not meant to drink out of standing water, especially on the bottom of their enclosure. It's a breeding ground for bacteria and chameleons don't drink stagnant water in their native environments. You need to provide her water through multiple daily mistings or a dripper. Do you have live plants in there? It will help us a lot if you can fill out the chameleon care info sheet posted on the forums so we can understand exactly how you are caring for her

Yes also I know I have about her drinking from a dripper she has one I use that bowl to catch the dripping water and no I don’t have no real plants just fake ones

Her eyes are showing me that she is severely dehydrated. I would give her a shower for hydration: Place a plant or branch in the shower and set the shower head in a position that your chameleon is being hit with a mist (not water directly from the shower head). Make sure the temperature is warm, but not hot in the slightest. Keep her there for at least 15 minutes and keep a close eye on her at all times. She should be stimulated to drink

Ok I will do that do you think I should go to a vet or does it look like anything major?

You need more foliage in her cage, too. Without places to hide and help her get all around her enclosure, she will be stressed out and her setup is extremely sparse. It is highly recommended that you purchase a live plant like an umbrella plant, a ficus, or a pothos, which are all cheap and safe. This will give her something to perch on, increase humidity, as well as provide a place for drops of water from her dripper to catch so she can sip off of leaves. What's your feeding regimen? Supplements? What lights are you using?

IMHO she needs to go to a vet....I doubt that her eyes are sunken in just because of dehydration. I think there is more going on with her. Has/does she ever lay eggs? I'm wondering if she's eggbound. Was she pooping up until when she stopped eating?

So sorry to hear that she's passed. I'm not surprised because of the way she looked though. Keep her memory in your heart.
