I’m new to this site idk how it works I’m figuring it out but I know I need help. I have a male veiled chameleon and I love him so much... I believe he may have MB’s and recently he has been not eating or drinking and closing his eyes which I know is bad. I don’t know what to do. He keeps puffing up and he does not do that normally. I just want him to be happy and healthy.
Help please!!

Can you post some pics of him from different angles? I will post here a husbandry check text so you can fill it. Anyway get him to the vet if you think he’s not doing well.

His name is rascal he is a male veiled and I don’t know the age I was never told when I got him, however I have had him for a little over a year. I never handle him he doesn’t like it one bit. I have always fed him meal worms, I’ve tried crickets and grasshoppers he's very stubborn.
I dust them with calcium with d3 and without. I mist his cage a lot throughout the day and I must till the leaves are dripping and covered with drops of water. He hasn’t been eating or drinking recently. He has a screen cage. I don’t know how to measure humidity, his cage is about 80 -90 degrees, lowest temp at night is 65-70. I’m using live and fake plants, he has a pothos. His cage is in the corner of two walls.
also he has been doing this recently where he puffs up and then goes down and goes again as if he was heavy breathing.
I just wish the best for him

Please post a couple more photos where I can see the whole chameleon.
You need to answer the he questions more specifically....for example you didn't tell us How many insects do you feed him a week? How often do you feed him? What do you gutload/feed the insects with. You didn't tell us the brands of the supplements you use or how often for each. If U don't answer the questions thoroughly enough it makes it hard for us to help you.
