I have a 8 month old female rudis chameleon who doesnt seem to do anything at all. She was born from my first chameleon just 3 weeks after purchasing her. I sold the others long ago and kept her because attractive pattern and colors. She was healthy and growing fast. Today i just purchased a young male about her same age and noticed that he is much more active, agile and over all alive than my little girl. Theres no signs of sickness her eyes, skin and fecal are all normal. She doesnt move around too much and cant move across branches and usually just gives up and hangs by two limbs. I'm thinking she is overly dependent. :( around here the weather weird it changes from rainy or cloudy and cold to extremely dry and hot leaving select days for outside time. As a result i take them outside and let me eat off my finger till they're full. I never figured a way to the insects contained in my room and this just seemed to work. Sorry so long but would really appreciate some opinions on what her deal is
