Hi. We’d love to offer you some help, but we need to know exactly what his conditions are. If you answer the questions already provided, we’ll have a better idea of what may be going on. For now all I can tell you is to avoid hot steamy showers. Even water that is lukewarm to us is scalding hot for a chameleon.
