New here

I would do everything everyone said but if it was me I would go ahead and take to the vet and get her a shot ASAP. We tried and saved one like that and lost him don't wait
 
Ok guys,drip system is now up and functional,I put it up last night,just to see how she would react.well she got underneath it and was sucking down some water.same thing this morning,as soon as it started dripping she was drinking.she also ate 8 gut filled crickets.i put 10 in there,and I'm pretty sure she will finish them off.she already looks a little better.she is more green and her bell is full.hopefully this continues.i will take another picture in a couple of days so stay tuned.I once again thank everyone for the advice

oh WOW what an improvement!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! I am so glad he/she(have we determined that yet?) took to the dripper!!!!
 
Nope I'm still unsure of the sex,I was surprised to see such a difference.guess he just wasn't being cared for properly
 
looking soooooo much better!!!! thats awesome! :D so glad to see it looking more healthy so quickly.

to get help on determining the sex, you could post some pics of it in the Chameleon Identification forum. members with experience can help you sex it! heres a link to that part of the forum https://www.chameleonforums.com/chameleon-identification/

one member, Trace, who is extremely good at identification and sexing of chams, thought it was a female flapneck based on the first pic. that post is on page one of this thread :) to be safe you could still post some pics asking for help sexing it in the chameleon identification forum.

Jason, she looks so much better! I'm happy she got into your hands good job man! She's defiantly gained some weight which is really good!
 
I am sad to announce the passing o this little fellow.When I bought her,she was pretty bad off.Through extensive research time and effort on my part,she turned around a little bit.then I noticed her appetite was decreasing,then I noticed her staying asleep during the day.this was not a grade thing,it all happened within 2 days.I woke up to get ready for work and she had expired.It ruined my day,as I tried so hard to turn her around and make her healthy.I truly believe that the stress levels from all that she had been through in her short life was too much and got the best of her.I have learned a lot from this experience though,one is I will never buy a wc Cham again.
On a different note,I did buy 2 baby panther chams,they are doing great.They are from a respectable breeder in my area w/ 40 years of expericence.there are pictures in the photography section if them both.
 
I am so sorry to hear that she passed away :(. You tried your best and did everything you could for her. Its more sad because she looked like she was getting better but they can go downhill so suddenly. Enjoy your 2 new babies. I am glad you have found new chameleons to love and look after. You will do great :)
