Help with Jackson Cham

[skittles1234]

So i couldn't help it. Went to the pet store to grab some crickets and I've been seeing a jackson cham there in a tiny glass enclosure and couldn't help feeling bad for him. So today when I was there he looked BAD, very bad. Sleeping at 2pm and his lights weren't on. So i asked the pet store girl why the lights at least weren't turned on and she said cause he had burned himself on them. I felt so bad. I purchased him at half price cause of his condition. Couldn't help it. Could not leave him there to die. So i Set him up NICE with a beautiful cage. Only had him for about 5 hours now....but his grips not good and while i set the cage up he was on my boyfriends arm and he fell asleep. He is still sleeping. Should we just put him away and check on him throughout the night? I didn't put any lights on him and i'm pretty much leaving him alone now that the enclosure is set. But what if he gets bad tonight, he already fell once down off the trees...? The poor guy wouldn't have made it the night at the store...P
lease don't think i'm crazy or something and judge me...i have a big heart. I'm bringing him to the vet on monday! but between now and then... what to do if he starts going down hill...looks dehydrated and what to do with the burns?

Try this ASAP https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/ataraxia/594-shower-chamber-treatment.html

Set up a cool mist humidifier to fog into his cage.

How bad are his burns? Any open wounds? Pictures?

Ask where he came from. A shipment of kenya jacksons came in. If he is wild caught. He will need assessed for parasites ASAP. This can be done by his next feces.

i'm gonna try the shower thing right now. thank you. and the burns aren't that bad but there is at least 6 of them all down his tail and back. i'm gonna try and take pics while he's in the shower and post them in about an hour or lessss!!!

not a very good pics but here are the burns on his back as well as how is has acted since we got him. but he has been a little more active when he was in the shower or when we sprayed him off with water. He did how ever stand there with his mouth open at the water droplets that were away from him as if they would come to him ,don't know what that means exactly. Like his depth perseption was off?
