Is my chameleon dying?

[Million Lover]

My Meleon is not moving correctly! It's more like shaking with an upward moving of the limbs. It looks like she's getting stuck while trying to move! i don't understand it! i saw it jump yesterday and i wonder if its in pain... The last thing i want and need is it dying!!! I just don't know what to do.

Is he doing this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c7XiwSM-oA
If he is, then it's totally harmless, it's him trying to look like a leaf as he walks, so you don't see him.

If it isn't then please try to post a video of yours moving so we know what you mean, because if it's not the leaf walk then I'm not sure what you're describing.

From what you're describing it just Sounds like its doing it's normal movement for camaflouge, they shake like that so they can look like a leaf so predators will not come after them. That what it sounds like from description at least, pictures would be nice to confirm it.

Hello and welcome to CF!
Can you clarify what you mean by "jump"?

What is the animal doing right now?

My cham does "the leaf walk" when she is hunting. Just glad to know it's totally normal!
