Hi! My panther chameleon fell today when we put something in his enclosure. I think it freaked him out.
it’s a screen enclosure. We’ve had him for no more than 2 weeks. Based on his size he’s probably 3-4 months old. Hes in the 16x16x30 zoo med enclosure. I’m estimating he fell 15 inches, half the height of the cage. Landed on the felt carpet the kits come with. He flipped I think- but landed upright. Since then he’s moved and seems fine. Ate from my tongs. Im just super sensitive to animals and this guy in particular. He seems totally fine but I know he’s probably still scared and I just need some reassurance from an experienced owner and someone who’s seen their chameleon fall as well. How long does it take for chameleons to mentally recover? He still seems freaked out even though he turned light blue and ate a worm.
