My Chameleon (a carpet cham) is very old, 7 and 1/2 yrs. He has progressively become weaker and can not hold on as tightly. According to my vet, this is normal for an old chameleon. He is well taken care of: vitamins, husbandry, love, vet visits.
I was curious about what to expect as he nears the end of his life and if anyone has good tips on making him comfortable. I recently reduced the size of his cage, padded the floor with soft towels and re-designed the branches to be low (so falling would not hurt him). He is really loved and enjoys being out out of the cage and in my hand (especially since he has gotten older, I think he loves the warmth of my hand).
thanks,
marta
