Right i have moved my Chameleon into a bigger tank and hes eating fine and what not but today he sat in the same position all day and he was hardly moving his eyes. hes rocking side to side and im just worried about him, he just shed yesterday aswell, would that have anything to do with it??

Keeping his tank at 80.F He is a Nosy Be and about 6 months old.
 
I'm sorry your having problems with your baby. Can you fill out the how to ask for help form so that we can help you better? :)
It is located in the Health Clinic forum, but I will see if I can link it to you :)

Current Problem - Not moved much all day and has just shed so that could be a problem that they have after???
 
Yellow means he is not getting enough water and is slightly dehydrated. I would up the mistings to 4-5 times a day.

As for supplementation, he needs calcium WITHOUT D3 everyday, and calcium WITH D3 once or twice a month.

I am unfamiliar with nutrobal.

Other than that set up looks fine.

Does he seem lethargic or just like he is comfortable? My guy is always pretty lazy the day after a shed but quickly goes back to exploring
 
Too much D3 - there's D3 also in Nutrobol.

Could he be stressed by something he can see now that he couldnt see before?
Could he be not finished his shed and trying to get some skin off?

How are you measuring temperature at the mid-cage and basking site? a 100Watt bulb usually means more than 80F, unless you home is really cold.
 
I do own a cold house and we use a thermostat for the heating to get it right and had good success with that. ill do that with the clacium powder then, i have the without D3 one also.

He doesnt seem lethargic hes quite hyper today it seems. Shall keep you all posted
