Jackson's cham not moving all of a sudden

[h9758]

Hello!
My little female jackson's chameleon was totally fine yesterday, and all of a sudden today she put herself in a corner and hasn't moved all day. She's been keeping one eye closed when I walk in or she's just been sleeping. I've been really worried because I've only had her a couple weeks.

Chameleon Info:

Your Chameleon - Jackson's chameleon, female, around 1 1/2 y.-2 y.o., in my care for two weeks.
Handling - Not more than 3-4 times a week.
Feeding - She has a lot of gut-loaded crickets in her cage, and then I have been mixing things up between butternut squash, endives, and then yesterday I added a little bit of banana. She's eaten some mealworms too. But she hasn't eaten today. I refill her dish with fresh veggies every morning.
Supplements - Crickets dusted with rep-cal when added.
Watering - I have a continuous dripper, a fountain, and I mist the cage at least twice a day. I try to spray her a bit too, but she doesn't enjoy it. I saw her drinking yesterday around the dripper for awhile. She ate a lot of her veggies yesterday too, but not the banana.
Fecal Description - I think they're white. I've only seen her eat one cricket myself, I've been wondering if she's picking off any that are in there.
History - She's normally very active and wanders around the cage a lot. In the middle of the day she started to slump over a branch with her eyes closed.


Cage Info:

Cage Type - All screen cage, 18x12x20in.
Lighting - One tube UVB lamp, reptiglow, and a ceramic bulb lamp with a 100w zoo-med daylight blue bulb that hangs a few inches from the top of the cage.
Temperature - It's been hard to measure accurately, but I think it's roughly 90 in the hottest part and down to 70 in the unlighted areas.
Humidity - I don't have a measuring device for humidity.
Plants - No live plants.
Placement - Currently she's in the laundry room. No fans. She's probably four feet off the ground.
Location - mid gulf coast, Florida.


Current Problem - Starting this morning my cham became very sluggish. She has been sleeping all day, and when she's awake she keeps just one eye open. It looks like the eye that closes is the one facing the lamp. She hasn't moved a lot at all, she hasn't eaten today or drank today. Yesterday she was just fine and drank and ate a lot. I'm worried I got her sick somehow. I haven't had her more than a couple weeks.

Some of your problem is the fact that you are roasting her.
Jacksons like cooler temps, like arond 80ish, nothing higher than 83.

ALso, whatexactly are you supplementing with?

Jacksons need alot of water, so misting only 2 times a day is not enough, even with a dripper.

and you shouldnt have that fountain in there. it breeds bacteria.

Are you sure you even have a jacksons? As most dont really eat veggies.

Can you post a photo of her and her set up?

What is your lighting schedule?

I took the fountain out, and moved the light away. The lights stay off at night and go on around 8am and off at 8 pm. It's 70 degrees in the cage. She's still slumped in a corner. I supplemented with Rep Cal calcium with D3, maybe she got too much because I was putting it on all her veggies.
I can't take her to a vet until the next couple of days due to holidays... I hope she lasts that long. The vet is 45 minutes away. Would I just take her whole cage? I don't want to move her and stress her out to death.

Here's some pictures. Her color looks fine. Her eyes are closed and she's been resting her head on the branch when she sleeps.
I've been cleaning the side of her mouth because the woman who gave her to me said she's had this bit on the side of her mouth where you have to clean it to get the cricket gunk out. And then I put neosporin on it.

But she's been really active ever since I got her--up until yesterday.

Here's some pictures.
She's in the sink right now due to the cage leaking.

I think she might be suffering from a D3 overdose. I didn't realize I had the supplement that was only supposed to be given twice a month and she had been eating her food with that on it every day.

I'm thinking to take her to a vet tomorrow.

So she was getting really sick, and I would've taken her to a vet much sooner had I been able to (closed for christmas)
and I got her to drink a little bit yesterday.
At night all of a sudden she started falling/climbing off her branches and was trying to get to the bottom, she was already on the dark side of the cage.
I tried a million things, I ended up putting her on a sturdy branch and woke up today and she was gone.


Really, really frustrating.

Sorry for your loss.

One thing i noticed, is lots of crickets running around the cage. They looked so big I thought they were other chams at first glance. If left in there at night they will attack the cham while their asleep. I wouldn't think 2 weeks of d3 would cause your cham to die. Also Jacksons don't normally eat fruit or veggies, only veileds eat that as far as i know. Sorry for your loss, read through the care sheets on the site, hopefully you can figure out what went wrong, but keep in mind sometimes they just die and it's not our fault.

the cage seem a bit to small and you are missing a basking spot

try to find a funnier food, mountain chams love flying insects take off the crickets and put some flies
