Need help!!! Urgent!!!

[Daguerreotype13]

So my Beautiful Veiled Chameleon of 2yrs has ESCAPED!!! he's climbed his way into a heap of trouble, A GIANT WILLOW TREE!!! i've searched in vain and cannot seem to find him, though i KNOW he's up there (my mother has spotted him0. I searched where she last saw him but could not find him myself. Does anybody have any information to offer on how i increase my chances of finding him? Is there any way of luring him out into the open? i've climbed the tree several times but cannot find my poor guy =( god i miss him . . .

I lost my Mellers up in a tree last year. I started spraying water only on the bottom half of the tree and he eventually got thirsty and came down to the watered half where I could see him. No more tall trees for him!

Where are you? When it gets dark go out with a flashlight and you should see him. Until that time try to make sure there are not any cats, birds, etc that go near the tree. Have a water hose with a jet nozzle if you have one. Cats & birds ate water. let me know what happens. Good luck.

Yea i tried that, i know they sense vibrations so i actually ductaped a little cage of crickets to the trunk so the sound they make might reach his ears and lure him and i've been spraying down half the tree to lure him away because theres a line of 3 trees connecting to the right and NONE of them are in my property . . . i hope he hasn't left the willow and gone down to visit the neighbors! but i've been searching since saturday (when he started his voyage) and now on Tuesday still no sign! last sighting was saturday around 5:00pm =( they're soo hard to spot though!

If you or a nearby friend have a female, sometimes they can be used to lure an escaped male back; she could be in a screen cage in a location visible from the tree. Good luck!

nope nobody around has a female, i think i'm literally the only chameleon owner in my town to tell you the truth i've been looking to the top by havn't found him thus far, however the search will continue all summer if it must, because if he's out there till october . . . . .

i'm in jersey, and there are birds AND SQUIRRELS!!!!!!! and i tried the flashlight but the problem is the shadows made by all the branches and the one light source makes it hard to spot .. i just hope he's still in the willow and not in one of the neighboring trees
