Hey guys me again but with Pasquale

[chameleonus]

I’ve been noticing changes in his behavior and also color, he seems more dull and isn’t active anymore. he also doesn’t eat all his crickets I feed him, he just sits in one spot now. Any advice? The last photo is when he was starting to change behavior.

May I see a picture of the entire enclosure including the lighting on top?

Ok so kinda what I was seeing in his images... He is developing Metabolic bone disease. He has the wrong type of UVB lighting.

The enclosure as well has to be upgraded. It is too small and the venting for it being on the top is going to create stagnant air because it does not vent from the bottom up. Cage set up should be adjusted as well. All the bark on the bottom is an impaction risk. The fake plants as well are not advised because veileds eat their plants.

So correct info would be... Read through this husbandry program https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/

Then for veiled specific husbandry https://chameleonacademy.com/veiled-chameleon-care/

Ask all questions here once you read through everything. You will see quickly by reading all the info where you need to make corrections.

IF your panther is in the same type of set up then same risks will apply for MBD and impaction. Veiled and Panther husbandry are very similar. https://chameleonacademy.com/panther-chameleon-care/

Then definately read everything in the links I gave you and ask us questions. I can almost guarantee that most of the information you received is totally wrong for both of them.

Tell me what supplements you are using.

You need to buy asap 24 inch T5HO fixtures with either 5.0 or 6% bulbs. So your options will be either reptisun with the 5.0 bulb or the arcadia ProT5 with the 6% bulb. I prefer the arcadia.
