Greetings, Miss Becky. Hope your little guy is doing OK. You wrote in an earlier post about him and your set up.

Dectr6 gave some good advice about specific changes you should make for the wellbeing of your cham. It wasn't clear how much of that advice you were able to follow. Have you changed the lighting, and checked the ambient and basking temps and humidity levels? Have you actually seen him drinking from the waterfall (not really recommended for chams because they can breed bacteria), and does he ever drink while you are misting him?

From the earlier thread it looked as though you were given some incorrect advice on chameleon housing, etc., when you purchased your cham. Could you describe your current set up? Hopefully you've been able to make a few changes, although I know it can be costly.

Hi, I don't think his eyes look sunken. He looks good to me.
