my male (im sure its a male confirmed by Dr. Briggs) veiled chameleon is acting sluggish, i thought it was a lack of vitamins because lately he has been refusing to eat, so i gave him a few drops of liquid vitamins this morning but he threw it up. he will come down and climb out of the cage but he is usually dark until i pick him up then he goes back to a happy green color and usually gets comfortable on my shoulder (stretches himself length wise) and uses my hair as a "his pillow" and goes to sleep. he is in one of those screen cages, i think its size is about 24Lx24Wx48H. i have 2 uvb lights on his cage one of the long ones and one of the smaller bulbs only because I didn't think the light from either by its self was reaching as far around his enclosure as it should be. i have a little dripper at the top. and a heat lamp with a regular heat bulb for the day and a ceramic bulb for when it gets cold at night. there is also a grow light but that is technically for the tree, i have a smaller hibiscus tree in the enclosure that he loves to sit in. i have a cricket keeper with a few superworms and Dubia roaches that i leave for him in the cage, i also add dusted crickets to it when they all die off. im worried about him mainly because after he thru up the vitamins this morning he sort of clung to me and didnt want to be put down, he will ussualy climb right in i basically had to pry him off of my chest to be able to go to work. anyone have any insights? and im looking for a vet around the area of 08701 (dr warren briggs is fully booked for at least the next 2 days)
