Sick chameleon

[Kamil_the_chameleon]

We've just noticed our 9 months old chameleon had some kind of a seizure.Shaking his head left and right (pretty hard, since his head was hitting the glass of his enclosure). We were not in front of the enclosure and out of his sight (so stress could not have caused it. Anyone any idea what this could be?

Could be a million things. Honest question, How do you know he had a seizure if you weren’t by his viv? A video would help a lot.

We were out of his sight. But just looking to him from a distance. It's also hard to film it, since it'll last less then a minute and is over before you know it. I'll fill the form later on today.

Any one remember the name of the member who’s Cham was having seizures a couple months ago? There was a video, thought we could compare the two...

Brodybreaux25 is right.. fill the form without information i can tell you anything from "he just want to breed, perfectly normal" to .. "he will die in less than 24 hours" (point is any help is useless without good description, you can also go on youtube and write seizure chameleon, respiratory infection chameleon, chameleon matin etc and try to identify something close!
